Winemaking was actually his second career, however: he was a famous race car driver in the 1970s. Between racing and wine his reputation in southwest Sicily was esteemed enough that when he allegedly had an affair with the wife of the mayor of Palermo, he was exiled to the nearby island of Pantellaria instead of, I don’t know, getting himself shot? But luckily he lived out his days surrounded by collectible cars and wine, including the stunning Passito and other dry wines the family still produces on Pantellaria. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMarco’s children Renato, Sebastiano and Giusippina have continued to make some of the best wines in western Sicily. The “Lucido” is named for a local subtype of Catarratto and is a delicious, spiced affair with layers of dried apple ring, golden currant, and ginger. It finishes with tangy acid and, unsurprisingly, a sensation of Sicilian sea salt. \u003cem\u003eJonathan Kemp\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOWLER 4PM $150","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":46140378939627,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1270\/3173\/files\/F0FFE6EB-57EE-4C15-9F20-9586A2F8F10A.jpg?v=1738181356"},{"product_id":"brunodangincuveblanchecremantdebourgognenv","title":"Bruno Dangin \"Cuvee Blanche\" Cremant de Bourgogne NV","description":"","brand":"Classic Wines","offers":[{"title":"Sparkling","offer_id":31442628116523,"sku":"","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1270\/3173\/files\/1ABA4D01-2209-4E2A-A6BA-14EC6BFC7ED1.jpg?v=1744745313"},{"product_id":"highwireryewhiskey750ml","title":"High Wire Rye Whiskey [750ml]","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Please note we cannot ship this item outside of NY State\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom High Wire Distilling Company: \"Our Rye Whiskey is made with a locally sourced 100% Wrens Abruzzi rye, an heirloom grain grown in the Carolinas for centuries and prized for its hardy backbone and complex nutty flavors.

The winery is 100 years-old but has only been bottling their wines for about 25 years. Before that, they sold entire barrels to restaurants or private customers. Now they really advocate for long aging in big, older botti, and have some of the best examples of aged Etna wines. All of their wines, even this inexpensive everyday red, see a degree of barrel aging that is not typical, especially given their affordable prices.

Sage, medicinal cherry, even notes of leather that are extremely satisfying, with layers of fruit and tannin that are truly remarkable for this price.

Nunzio is not new to wine, having spent 30 years as an agronomist, most recently for Benanti, another well-respected Etna producer. Nunzio wanted to have something to pass onto his daughters and they are making very impressive wines with only three hectares of vines on the north side of Etna in a wild and harsh area. The farming is organic and only a small amount of sulfur is used in the cellar, everything else is hands-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir Carricante is an example of the lean, fine, wines that Etna can produce. This is fine-boned, tangy, and stony, where Carricante can often be quite salty and rounder. Ethereal and understated, it's almost like a more mineral, detailed version of Palomino Fino. A lovely white wine that not only reflects the challenging terrain where Nunzio and his daughters are working, but also their passion and care in the vineyards and cellar.

Some of my favorite wines from them have been the 'daughter wines' named after each of their three daughters. The rosé is named for Marie, the oldest, and the wine is made fermenting Zweigelt with Grüner Veltliner skins, a unique approach that has since spawned several delicious copycats across the globe. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Arndorfers are subversive in this way, pushing the boundaries in the highly-regarded, tradition-laden Kamptal region while keeping an eye on maximum pleasure and preservation of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMartha Rouge, named after their youngest daughter, is a red wine for all intensive purposes but is made from Zweigelt and Sauvignon Blanc. The Zweigelt, whole cluster and semi-carbonic, is co-fermented with crushed Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The result is a wholly original, wildly delicious wine. Juicy with a lot of floral freshness, this gets balanced with more savory elements of red pepper, tarragon, rye, and pappadam. It's an irresistible combination that is as breezily pleasurable as it is engaging and versatile.

He is only 41 but began working with ambient yeasts and low sulfur back in 2002. He got Biodynamic certification in 2006. After many years of working this way, his wines are not funky at all, but fine, filigreed expressions of the soils around the Neusiedlersee. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis Blaufränkisch Kalkstein comes from limestone soils, and Claus reportedly tastes the actual limestone so that he can also make sure that the wine has the same flavor. Now that's commitment to minerality. While I certainly get the crunchy, stony thread going through the wine, it also has a delicately fruity profile, with blueberry, red plum and juicy apricot notes. It's a mouth-watering, tangy take on Blaufränkisch but doesn't veer into harshly bright territory. It's a great one to chill down and will pair with cheeseburgers, roast chicken, or a Provençal vegetable tian.

Laura Brennan stumbled upon a 4-acre vineyard of Cabernet planted in the 1970s, and after a handshake deal with John Bucher she took it over, convincing Bucher to farm the plot no-till organic.
