Summer is here, and how.
Bring on the Spritzes.
June is here and so is the scorching summer heat. We went from wearing fleeces to wearing shorts in 24 hours. Welcome to Tuscany. And no, we are so not complaining. Who can complain when summer means being able to do this:
or this:
So here’s the Big News since our last post:
We have a newly designed, amazingly fresh, Architectural Digest-worthy (ok, that is pushing it) TASTING ROOM! Niall put up the shelves and most of them are straight (ish). Now we have tastings almost every day which is fun - and the reviews are good. People seem to enjoy tasting wine in an idyllic setting - go figure! The wine flows, the smiles become laughter and the stories unwind. Don’t ask us about the 4x4 tour company who got their high clearance bloody massive truck stuck. While Elia organised two tractors to pull it out we poured the wine and made fast friends. Anyway, we digress - you have to see the tasting room - for now virtually (click on the video below and make sure the volume is up) and eventually personally.
After years of avoiding anything that involved the words “subscription” or “membership tier,” we’ve gone and created A WINE CLUB! Here’s the ‘no sales pitch - sales pitch’. Our wine club is blissfully simple: no algorithms, no Bronze-to-Platinum pyramids, and definitely no pressure to know your barriques from your botti. Just wines we make and love, shared with people who enjoy drinking them. Early access to limited releases, shipping perks, and a free tasting for you and your entourage (or someone you owe a favour). Mostly, you’ll just be part of our slightly chaotic but very heartfelt journey from Corporate to Vino. Come and join the madness, won’t you?
We celebrated our anniversary recently (Paari gave herself a medal in the form of a trip to Venice - she allowed Niall to come along). If you haven’t been to Venice, we cannot recommend it enough. STUN-NING!! Here’s just a lil peek into what we were up to there. It was fantastic. If you’re planning a trip there soon, and want some recommendations, check out our itinerary here! Thanks also to our friends, Arturo and Maria for their input.
So that’s it for now, folks. Short and sweet.
Until next time.
Toodles,
Paari & Niall
p.s. there are lots of events happening in Montepulciano this summer. We will try to keep you updated even if it involves great food, amazing wines and deep deep culture. Look, someone has to do it and we are doing it for (ahem) you. Kind of … #wedontgetpaidenoughforthis #howmanylawyersdoesittaketorunawinery
