🥂 CHAMPAGNE INSIGHT 🥂 Champagne growers, also known as "Récoltant-Manipulant" (RM) in French, are wine producers in the #Champagne region of France who grow their own grapes and produce Champagne from those grapes. The tradition of Champagne growers dates back centuries to the early development of Champagne production in the region. While the larger Champagne houses, known as "Maisons," have historically dominated the market, the importance and influence of Champagne growers have grown significantly in recent decades. Today, many Champagne enthusiasts seek out the artisanal and terroir-driven expressions offered by these smaller-scale producers 🥂 🍾 💫 Have you already tried any of these beauties? 😍 #BespokeWineCollection

This is Nemea Grande Reserve of 100%Agiorgitiko grapes - by the iconic Semèli Estate; a privately owned single vineyard at 580 meters “vin de garde” produced at an extremely limited number of bottles, exclusively by the approval of the Estate’s winemakers team and when the vintage has been rated as exceptional; the wine matures for 18 months in French oak casks and at least 30 months in the bottles before its release; The inevitable question that arises though is to either keeping it according to the “instructions” for later, or to savor it at once?

🚨 Bing! Amazing Wine Alert 🚨 Spirits Sourcery is not just about discovering the world’s rarest bottles; we are also enthusiastic about finding hidden gems that punch well above their price tag! 🌟 With 42,000 bottles rated on Vivino, you will find everything from the undrinkable to legends like the 1945 Romanée-Conti. (They only made six hundred bottles but yes, we can supply those if you are interested! 😉) But the real thrill? Uncovering wines that over-deliver in every way—like Castillejos from Calvente Winery. 🍷 This remarkable wine has not only featured in the top 1% on Vivino of all wines produced globally but has also graced tables at numerous 3-star Michelin restaurants in Spain. Calvente is a family-owned winery nestled in the stunning mountains of Granada, southern Spain. The passion they pour into their craft shines through in every sip. Although widely distributed across Europe, Calvente offers a unique opportunity for expansion, including in travel retail where there is no representation currently. They may not be a household name yet outside of Spain, but their authenticity and dedication are unmatched. 🌍✨ With the travel retail community about to descend en masse to Cannes for TFWA in the next few weeks, now is the perfect time to share this opportunity.

Questions that pop up a lot! 🥂 ❓How long can you keep champagne in your private cellar? ➡️ Contrary to what many people think, champagne is a wine that can be stored for (many) years! There is a required minimum ageing period for champagne before it is being released onto the market: 15 months for a non-vintage champagne and 36 months for a vintage champagne. However, most Champagne Houses and Champagne Producers release their cuvées (much) later, in order for the tertiary aromas to develop. The cellar master decides when a champagne is ready to be marketed. For non-vintage champagnes, the rule of thumb is that they can be stored up to 3-4 years, if stored correctly. Great champagnes and vintage champagnes can even be kept for a (much) longer time, in general 5-15+ years, after they have been released. Ideally, the right storage conditions include a constant temperature (preferably between 10-15 degrees Celsius), a dedicated dark space free of odours and vibrations, as well as a higher humidity level. At My private Champagne Cellar, your champagne (and wine) bottles are stored under excellent conditions; in authentic Champagne caves, where they have been born and raised.

“Wine makes blood”, as Florentines often say. Tuscany is an area rich in vineyards. The production and sale of wine was already strictly regulated in the Middle Ages, and a winegrowers' guild has existed here since 1288. No one but the guild members were allowed to sell wine. There was one small exception, however, for owners of vineyards who made wine on their land for themselves. Namely, non-members of the guild were only allowed to trade in "decanters" (or in Italian "a fiaschi") and only from a private house. In those days many influential Florentine families, such as the Antinori, owned vineyards and produced wine. What was the benefit of selling it privately? It's simple, wine destined for one's own cellar was not taxed on entry into the city. However, it was not such a simple task to organize "distribution points" inside the city walls. Times were turbulent, however, and the entrance to the properties was kept shut even during the day. As luck would have it, someone among the noble producers came up with the idea of a more convenient and secure way of selling wine - a small decanter-sized window carved into the outer wall of the palace, not far from the main entrance. A win-win situation, as the wine could be stored in a room next to the entrance, and it could be sold by the same servant who was supposed to watch the main gate. And it was a success. When the plague came to Florence in 1630, the sale of wine through the windows did not stop, although the coins now had to be thrown onto a special tray from where they were immediately sent for disinfection with vinegar. This was the medieval kilometer zero, from the producer directly to the buyer. By the 20th century, the tradition had gradually died out. But in 2020, at the height of the lockdown, bar and restaurant owners turned to the ancient tradition of "social distance" and began offering not only wine, but also coffee, gelatos and various drinks from those very medieval wine windows. An interesting tradition, isn’t it? *** Let us help you design your next trip around Italy. #aureatravelitaly #travelinspiration #italytravel #howitalyfeels
