Alta Alella
Inside a natural park barely a mile from the Mediterranean, this Pujol-Busquets family estate has farmed organically since 1991 on Alella's distinctive white granite sand.

A Burgundy-trained vigneron returned to a family plot worked since 1650 and turned it into the Jura's most coveted source, with more than fifty cuvées and dozens of forgotten grapes.
Tiago Teles
Former wine writer and telecom engineer Tiago Teles makes low-intervention wines from Bairrada, Lisboa, and Vinho Verde, foot-trodding grapes in a small cement lagar and adding no sulfur.

Danilo Marcucci and Riccardo Pennaforti protect one of Umbria's oldest vineyards near Assisi on just 1.7 hectares, fermenting ancient local varieties spontaneously in cement and resin tanks with zero sulfur additions.
Domaine Tempier
The Bandol estate that made Mourvedre famous, where the Peyraud family and director Daniel Ravier craft single-parcel reds and the celebrated rose.
Stefano Amerighi
Stefano Amerighi is Cortona's great Syrah champion: a Demeter-certified biodynamic farmer who identified his ideal hillside terroir in 2001, planted Rhone clones, and now produces wines that belong in conversation with the finest expressions of the variety anywhere in the world.
Angelo Negro
A Roero family whose deeds reach back to 1670, with a forebear who bottled one of the first dry Arneis on record in 1971.
