WINE ONE
2020 Domaine de Oliveira Lecestre Chablis ‘Fourchaume’ Premier Cru
Benjamin De Oliveira’s grandparents moved from Portugal to Chablis in the early part of the 20th century. The family found work in the local logging industry and produced a bit of wine on the side. In the 1950s, Benjamins grandfather began working in the vines for William Fèvre at the young age of 14. After ten years, he saved enough to purchase his first parcel of land – a mere 33 ares, and he planted his first vineyard. Today, Benjamin and his wife run the business.

WINE TWO
2018 Ottomani Chianti Superiore DOCG
We first discovered Ottomani in 2019 at an international wine trade show in Veneto called Vinitaly. With over 4,000 wineries present, we found comfort in the “organic tent” knowing we were going to be tasting wines made by like-minded individuals. We found Ottomani on the second day of the trade show and were initially struck by their humble demeanor and insane quality of wine. Ottomani was started in 2006 by four friends who met studying enology at the University of Florence. Post-graduation and various jobs later, they found a dream farm for sale in Chianti Colli Fiorentini D.O.C.G. Today the four friends live and work together on their 100% off-the-grid farm.
Region: Tuscany, Italy
Grape: Sangiovese
Farming Practices: Organic/Biodynamic
