Mascarello, Conterno, Quintarelli, Valentini, Dal Forno, Rinaldi and many more Gems.

This is not just a list of Italian wines—it is a living atlas of Italy itself. Italy’s true greatness in wine lies in its fragmentation: hundreds of native grapes, radically different soils, altitudes, and microclimates, and producers who see themselves not as brands but as stewards of place. From the fog-laced hills of Piedmont to the volcanic slopes of Etna, from the severe classicism of Barolo to the sun-scorched intensity of Valpolicella and the quiet mysticism of Abruzzo, Italy’s diversity is not a complication—it is its greatest strength.


What makes this offering extraordinary is how deeply it taps into that diversity while remaining uncompromisingly elite. These are wines made by families and estates that define their regions: Mascarello, Conterno, Quintarelli, Valentini, Dal Forno, Rinaldi. Many of these bottles are produced in minute quantities, allocated privately, or disappear immediately into cellars upon release. To gather them in one place is rare; to offer them is exceptional.


This list reads like a treasure chest into the soul of Italian wine. It spans traditionalists and quiet innovators, legendary single vineyards and humble-looking wines that drink far above their station. Several of these bottles are scarcely available outside of select private collections or long-standing relationships, making this selection not only compelling but genuinely singular—many of these wines can be found only here, and likely nowhere else at this moment.


Reasons to buy are self-evident: historic producers, benchmark wines, impeccable provenance, and vintages that either define greatness or reveal nuance and grace with age. Whether for collecting, drinking, or understanding Italy at its deepest level, this is a list that rewards curiosity, patience, and reverence for authenticity. These are wines that tell stories—and once opened, they never repeat themselves.


Availability is extremely low so act quickly as these wines are in our cellar and ready to ship.
