The 2016 Arbois Vin Jaune comes from a beautiful vintage for flor wine (better than 2018)

100% Pinot Noir from the Sorbee lieu-dit

Working with my friend Dave Rothschild (ex Sonoma Mountain Winery) as he grows his Sonoma  grape and vineyard management operation has been super inspiring

Sourced from biodynamically farmed Sangiovese vines in the San Giuseppe

2022 Miani Merlot Colli Orientali del Friuli, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy Jacky Blot The 2016 Arbois Vin JauneThe early Merlots were made from a combination of fruit from Rosazzo and Buttrio, but in 2004 Pontoni began experimenting with bottling the wines separately; giving birth to his Merlots Filip (Rosazzo) and Buri (Buttrio). This blends the different sites on the estate.
