Nebbiolo, Lombardy, Italy
A mineral, nuanced and savoury high-altitude nebbiolo for alpine fanatics. One of GW Import’s three NEW Italian arrivals, meet Marco Ferrari! Founded in 2019, Marco Ferrari is a jewel of an estate in famed Valtellina, with one foot in tradition and another digging-in for dear life to the beloved alpine slopes. From high up in the mountains, Valtellina is known for their remarkably steep, time-worn stone-terrace vineyards and wines of cool elegance. With vines aging 60-80 years and predominantly coming from minerality-encouraging mica-schist and iron-rich soils, the grapes see a mix of lifting semi-carbonic maceration for four days and skin contact for twelve more before 18 months on lees churning inside their chrysalis. Chest at the bottom of the ocean, 90% chocolate, field of boulders, shrubby thorns n' sticks, cranberry sauce, squid ink minerality, plum tart & hugging someone with a beard who’s the same height as you. Enjoy alongside squid ink spaghetti with clams.

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
