@pariswineco thanks so much to your terrific team
@pariswineco thanks so much to your terrific team for filling a two-day tasting with joy and interest and unbeatable wine. we’re super grateful to be connected to the great work that your company and your vignerons do. 🥹❄️🎊

Enolites – or ‘enoliti’ in Italian – is the ancient word for medicinal wines, also called ‘tinture vinosi,’ mentioned as far back as Hippocrates in the ancient Greek world. @enolitibotanici, a young project based in the province of Ragusa in Sicily, re-establishes this ancient tradition by producing versions as close to what the makers imagine these ancient elixirs might have been. In terms of understanding what these beautiful products really are, then: call them aromatized wines akin to precursors of what we now know as amaro, vermouth, and aperitivo. These aren’t fortified, colored, mass-produced digestivi and aperitivi: they are simply base wines with very precise amounts of delicately made, cold-macerated botanical extractions blended in. We at Coeur haven’t really seen aperitivi or digestivi anything like these before—even our very favorite artisanal amari from Italy or made here in the States feel richer, rounder, and not at all wine-like by comparison. The young trio at Enoliti Botanici—Pietro and Giuseppe with backgrounds in the wine world, and Lorenza, who is a botanist—are looking for lightness, delicacy, an ability to see clearly the base natural wine on which the drinks are based, while also being able to delineate various natural plants, flowers, spices. These are so striking that the team here has kept a bottle of each open in our fridge for weeks to watch these elixirs evolve—and even without neutral grain spirit or sulfur or filtration or any of that, they’ve remained lively and detailed for several weeks open. We’re so excited to present these to the U.S. for the first time, expressing an artisanal tradition in Italy that’s being explored with fresh ideas, and clearly, in the case of Enoliti Botanici, a lot of talent. ❇️🌿💐🍷

This year at Coeur we’ve had a special focus on expanding – judiciously, but with gusto! – the producers we represent in Italy, and we’ve been very excited to introduce these young, painstaking small growers: they represent changing tides in this country of expansive, ancient viticulture. We want to help them tell the story of natural-but-mature wines from excellent, emerging terroirs and growers—not just the already-storied corners of the Langhe, Chianti, or Montalcino. Please be introduced to these three of our brand-new Italian growers! ⚡️AGRICOLA KOI – FLAVIO RESTANI 🎏 Driven, searing frizzante wines made in the old-school rifermentato method, from around Bologna: ethereal fruit and flowers with electricity inside. @agrikoi 🍃LA GUGLIA – CARLO DE LIBERATO🌋 Bracing, razor-sharp, with golden-green fruit in the balance: the most delicious iterations of Garganega we’ve seen from the volcanic hillsides of the southern Veneto (Chenin and Riesling heads take note!) @vignelaguglia 🍓CANTINA LUDOVICO – LORENZA LUDOVICO🚜 Lorenza Ludovico’s energetic Montepulcianos of beguiling aromas, including the best Cerasuolo for your money (it genuinely competes with the two famous ones we won’t name that everyone talks about all the time 😜) @lorenza_agricolaludovico

We had a really beautiful private event with @cecillon_wines at @runnerupbk / @winnernyc on Friday: it was a twinkly evening in their cozy + swanky PDR, where guests and our team got to listen to Julien tell the story of his domaine and his wines. The food was terrific, the wines were wide open, and we all felt the magic of Brooklyn on a frigid fall night, especially with a special guest having come all the way across the Atlantic to share it with us! Thanks so much to Julien and @winnernyc, we’re super excited to collaborate on an intimate, fun night like this again!
