Lambrusco di Sorbara & Pinot Meunier, Lombardy, Italy
A savoury, aromatic and irresistible lambrusco that took inspiration from Champagne, Pinocchio and Metallica! Brand new to Ontario, meet Villa Picta. Young, passionate winegrower and maker Paolo Pasini, and author/NYC *star* sommelier Amanda Smeltz have teamed up and are representing lambrusco in new, sincere and groundbreaking ways. Paolo’s three hectares of familial river valley vineyards sit in southern Lombardy at the intersection of Veneto and Emilia-Romagna. Here he focuses on the regional varieties in the Lambrusco family that deserve their minimal-intervention moments in the sun, while also introducing non-regional vines that show potential aptitude for the region. From a single vineyard on aromatic encouraging sandy soils, the blossoming, fruit-forward lambrusco di sorbara (70%, and considered by many to be the highest-quality lambrusco clone) and etherial, savoury pinot meunier (30%) go through a traditional rifermentato method, with bubbles forming naturally through a second fermentation in bottle. Pecorino rind, ground rosemary, strawberry ring pop, salty bread & blood orange icing. Paolo and Amanda recommend you drink with fire roasted bbq eel or gumbo.

We don't know if you've heard this, but Canada is a truly WILD place to import wine. Each province is it's own country with super strict rules. For ages, so much of the very best natural wine never made it into the province. That is changing in such an exciting way. We started our own import company to bring you some of our very favourite wines from around the world at the sharpest prices - this allows us to travel, fall in love with a wine, and bring right to your doorstep without a middle person. Put simply, as the importer, we shave one layer off the supply chain. We offer these sweet wholesale discounts when you bundle. From 1, 3 to 6 packs you'll find serious savings. The GWI sticker - Grape Witch Imports - means not only that we strongly stand behind the producer, it also means you won't find a better deal anywhere else in town. It also allows us to source many wines just for the shop - you'll find Ontario exclusives marked GWIE - Grape Witch Import Exclusive. Are you a licensee or producer looking to join our imports roster? Send us an email at hello@grapewitchimports.com
