PRODUCER PROFILE: AGRICOLA VINB

Biagio Distefano and Vittorio D'Angelo founded Agricola VinB in 2022 with a single hectare of leased vines in Vittoria. Agricola VinB is the culmination of experience gained with some of Sicily’s most respected producers - Vittorio spent over three years at Arianna Occhipinti, while Biagio worked as a sommelier in London before joining COS.

VinB currently work with almost 5 hectares of organically farmed vines spread across 3 vineyards in Vittoria, Chiaramonte Gulfi and Licodia Eubea. Through regenerative farming, cover crops and meticulous vineyard work, Biagio and Vittorio have revitalised neglected vineyards and established new plantings on some of the region’s most distinctive soils. Biodiversity, soil health and wild fermentations form the foundation of wines that speak clearly of their landscape.

We've just picked up 4 different wines from this exciting new producer. The '25 'Viaggio ad Ovest Cataratto' is incredibly fresh and mineral while the '25 'Ti Voglio Bere Rosato' shows a nice array of red-fruited flavours and spice from a Nero d'Avola dominant blend with some Frappato. The '25 'D'Altri Tempi Rosso' is the perfect crunchy Spring light red and the '25 'Zappa e Puta Frappato' shows a nice combination of red and dark fruits under layers of spice. These are some of the most exciting wines coming out of Sicily - give them a try today!

DISCOVERY POUR: PAPAGGIANAKOS SAVATIANO

Produced from a region just outside of Athens, this Savatiano has ripe stone fruits, white flowers and salinity with a generous body making this a perfect Spring seafood wine. At a fraction of the price of the more famous Santorini whites, this wine is a no-brainer. Stock up on some succulent Savatiano now for Spring!

The highly sought-after cult Jura producer Ganevat has landed. After some 10 years working in Burgundy, Ganevat returned to his family estate in 1998 bringing his Burgundian knowledge to the terroir of Jura making wines that are sought by wine nerds all over the world. Ganevat is certified biodynamic by Demeter and he brings his Burgundian techniques to Jura with low yields using the classic grapes of the region: Savagnin, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Poulsard, and Trousseau.
