Marzemino & Merlot, Lombardy, Italy
An earthen and hardy Lombardy red worth gushing over. 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 in Mantova sit right at the intersection of Veneto and Emilia-Romagna. Here, Paolo has been working on representing the regionally famed Lambrusco family, with long-planted international grapes adapted to the area’s particular microclimate. Destemmed and macerated for two weeks, the 50/50 blend is from a single plot planted by Paolo in 2017, the marzemino being a semi-aromatic, low tannin red variety, and in his words represents the treble, while merlot is the grounding base. Bleached tobacco, subtle florals, thick black cherry, tomato umami and acidity, chiseled granite, green peppercorn, salt & iron. Enjoy while reading Amanda’s insightful 2018 article “Making the Case for Restaurants as Third Spaces”.

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
