| | From Italy - 2016 M Sokolin Dosset 1 Edizione $150 6pack Dosset is the local dialect for Dolcetto. Inspired by producers like Vajra, Olek Bondonio, Chionetti, and Abonna, Mitchell decided to search out interesting parcels of Dolcetto, convinced that in the right hands, it can produce floral, perfumed wines full of interest and character. He eventually found the right site, a beautiful north-facing slope on white soils, just on the Dogliani side of Monforte. The fruit was fermented in stainless steel with almost half as whole bunches and the rest destemmed on top. After two weeks in tank, it was pressed off into old 300L barrels to finish fermentation. The wine made it to bottle with no fining, no filtration, and no additions besides SO2. 1973 bottles produced of this inaugural vintage. |
| From Spain - 2016 M Sokolin Sierra de Salmanca Rufete Vol 3 $210 6pack Round Three and better than ever! If you like an elegant Pinot Noir and the fresh sense of Gamay, we highly advise you pick up a 6pack or two before our small allocation is gone! Only 650 bottles were produced.
Rufete is a rare, unique varietal which is a cousin to Pinot Noir. Many centuries ago, Burgundian settlers transported the Noirene grape to Sierra de Francia. It adapted to the mountains, high above the city of Salamanca, and became Rufete. The vineyard is located within the Reserva Biosfera de la Sierra de Francia y Bejar, and like much of the region is surrounded by dense oak forests. It has been farmed organically and certified as such since its was planted and the winemaking follows a very minimalist approach.
