ARTISAN EUROPEAN WINE SPECIALISTS,
DELIVERING AUSTRALIA.

From Nebbiolo in Barolo, Valtellina & Alto Piemonte to Grenache in Rioja,
Languedoc & Roussillon — unique bottles from the finest small growers across Italy, Spain and France.

Emiliano Falsini is one of Italy's most respected consulting winemakers — and since 2019, one of its most exciting producers under his own name.

Born and raised in Tuscany, Falsini spent decades as a consultant to some of Italy's finest estates, especially Girolamo Russo, Alberto Graci and Maugeri on Etna. It was through this work that he fell deeply in love with Mount Etna — a region he describes as capable of producing wines of a "sensual, almost ephemeral experience that transports you into the ethereal dimension of wine."

He chose to make his own wines in three dramatically different locations: the northern slope of Mount Etna at Contrada Feudo Pignatone, the Tuscan coast at Castagneto Carducci in Bolgheri, and at the highest site in Mamoiada, Sardinia.

On Etna, at 700 metres above sea level, Falsini works with old-vine Nerello Mascalese — some vines over a century old — to produce wines of haunting mineral character and Alpine freshness. The Feudo Pignatone Etna Rosso and the single-parcel Davanti Casa are among the most compelling expressions of this extraordinary variety currently being made anywhere on the volcano. The Etna Rosato — 100% Nerello Mascalese — is in our view one of the finest rosés in Italy: complex, textured, saline and impossibly long.

In Bolgheri, Falsini farms two hectares of Cabernet Franc, producing wines of real age-worthiness and coastal elegance — powerful yet precise, wearing their oak with remarkable lightness.

His Cannonau from Sardinia marks the new-wave style of finesse and elegance — a departure from the outrageously rich and alcoholic wines of the past, and a compelling argument for what this ancient Grenache-family variety can achieve in the right hands at altitude.

These are small-production, artisan wines from a winemaker at the very top of his craft.
