Meet Our Growers

Mathieu-Gosztyla is a small champagne house located in Baslieux-sous-Chatillon. Originally from Poland, Albert Gosztyla and companion Veuve Régnier planted the first vines on the land. Albert’s granddaughter, Wanda Gostyla, and her husband, Gilles Mathieu then took over and began the first bottling of the grapes in 1976. The vineyard is now run by their son Fabièn and his wife Séverine. They utilize traditional methods with 3 champagne grape varieties and 5 vintages. Focusing on quality, the two keep only the lekwijn and sell the remainder to larger champagne houses. This leads to Mathieu-Gosztyla only releasing 40,000 bottles annually.

Pierson-Cuvelier, created in 1901, owns ten hectares that are spread over twelve municipalities. Located in Louvois, Pierson-Cuvelier is exclusively classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru. The three generations of wine growers have respected the land and soil so much that there are no chemical compounds or insecticides used in any part of the creation process. Mixing modern techniques with traditional heritages, the champagnes are matured for three years at the bottom of the cellar in temperature controlled vats and barrels. The Reims mountain allows for the Pinot Noir grapes to flourish, creating a Pierson-Cuvelier champagne that is promised to have a very fruitful flavor with the delicate balance of a Chardonnay.

The Sacret family began producing wines in 1920 when founder Raymond Sacret launched his own market and produced his own Champagne. He used his own vines and thus, Champagne Sacret was born. Soon to follow, Raymond’s granddaughter Josette, ran the house for many years. The tradition continued when Josette’s son James took over and continued the adventure. Four generations later, the Sacret family continues to produce quality champagne from the foothills of Champagne, France. James opened Domaine Sacret in 2014, and after a few years of hard work, he was able to turn an old 19th century building into a guesthouse for visitors and tourists from all around the world.

The Pechan Family and winemaker Michael Webster help us acquire and create a beautiful selection of domestic wines. The main vineyard is located at the farthest edge of the Lodi Appellation of the Sierra Foothills in California. With over 40 acres in the grasslands, the Pechans grow grapes in the perfect conditions. Their Cabernet Sauvignon grapes thrive in the Mediterranean-like climate and are harvested at night time to protect their delicate flavor at its peak. They source their other varietals from local growers who put the same appreciation and dedication into wine making.  He Wines She Dines and Companion Wines are inspired by the dreams of five generations of the Pechan family and they are our largest grower partner.

Situated 1,700 feet above sea level and only 12 miles from the Pacific, Rangeland Wines is a California vineyard nestled in the western frontier of the Paso Robles appellation. At Rangeland Wines they understand that great wines are not just made in the winery–they’re grown in the field, which is why they pride themselves on their natural approach to growing their grapes and harvesting lots of small fruit at that perfect quintessential moment. This beautiful coastal mountain terroir features 20 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and other small blocks of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.

Nestled near the foot of the Montagne de Reims in the village of Louvois, this winery was built in the beginning of the 12th century and has been in the same family for more than seven generations. Guy de Chassey is a high quality vineyard that has received the prestigious label of Grand Cru 100%, something only 17 villages have accomplished in Champagne. The vineyard’s varietals include 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay and they sustainably produce each bottle of wine. The fermentation at a controlled temperature alludes not only to the aromatic finesse but also to the high-quality of wine.

Located in the corner of Tuscany, the Conte di Toscana vineyards are characterized by various types of soils and climate. Specializing in Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah, the winemakers at Conte di Toscana put a lot of passion into the tradition behind the vines and the region. Their objective is the pursuit of quality, which is why they picked the Tuscany region to create their high-quality reds. Conte di Toscana is considered among the excellences of this region both within Italy and abroad. Their respect for tradition and history allows them to continue making wine with an innovative spirit.

The vineyards from which we produce the grapes for our wines are located on our estate at the western end of the municipality of Benevento, in the La Francesca district, on the road leading to Pietrelcina. The whole property is characterized by a gentle slope that becomes slightly harsher in the particles from which we obtain the Falanghina grapes. The individual vines, from the oldest to the youngest of the 2000s, have all been planted in the best exposures, from south / west to south / east, orienting the rows from north to noon. The agronomic management respectful of the environment and the particular characteristics of our soils, calcareous tuff with multicolored clays, give the wines a shelf life and a straightforward and tasty character, which evolves in elegance over time.

Immersed in the splendid natural setting of Tocco da Casauria, our vineyards and olive groves lie in the heart of Italy, at the foot of three mountain ranges, near two national parks. Our wines are the expression of what poet Ovid called a “fertile land” supported by more than a century of winegrowing experience vaunted by this family. Our precious and unique products are created and left to rest and refine their flavor and character in harmony in Palazzo Guardiani Farchione’s historic underground cellars.

“La Fortezza” was built on the belief that the wine making process begins in the vineyards and the strength of “LA Fortezza” just comes from our quality soil, our exposure to the sun, our altitude and how we take care of vineyards.

Placed in the middle of the vineyards is the cellar, which is entirely covered by stone, facing, forming a harmonious whole with the surrounding landscape. The efficiently organized manufacturing facilities of “La Fortezza” have the potential of producing one million bottles annually.

The winery is settled in Campania Region, and we do produce high quality wines, typical of our Region.

Famiglia Fusco Viticultori is a winery located in Torrecuso, a small southern italian village in the province of Benevento, Campania region. The Fusco family is committed in viticulture from generations. Today the winery is managed with passion and enthusiasm by two brothers, Carmine and Marco, who grew up playing, then working, side by side, in the family estate.

The vineyards are located on the lower slopes of Monte Taburno, where the unique microclimate and soil composition allows to produce structured red wines and whites of great freshness and crisp, mineral elegance. The Fusco family has chosen to produce wines only from autochthonous grapes, vinified in purity. This in order to offer the opportunity to taste the real soul and identity of the territory.

Firmly rooted in the Campania region for three generations, the winery Nifo Sarrapochiello is located in Ponte, a small town of Sannio, a loveable place very popular since Roman times, which owes its name to the presence of an impressive bridge, the “pontem lapideum”, on which the Via Latina was running, connecting Rome to Benevento and thanks to which Romans were sourcing the rest of the Empire with very high quality grapes and wine.

Winemaker for passion and cultural heritage is the young owner, Lorenzo Nifo Sarrapochiello, who decided to combine respect for tradition and scientific innovation in order to ensure high levels of quality. Since 1998, grapes coming from Nifo Sarrapochiello winery are grown and treated with the method of organic farming (control body bioagricert). After a strictly manual harvest, grapes are transformed with production standards that protect the environment and the health of the consumer: in this way, fragrant, complex, intensely aromatic and with a great personality wines are born.
