Chianti wines are known worldwide, and their quality has soared since the 1980s. Among the region’s top producers, the Swedish-owned Terreno stands out. Led by winemaker Sofia Ruhne, the first female president of the Montefioralle wine producers' association, Terreno crafts organic, artisanal wines that embody both the vibrant personality of the Sangiovese grape and the unique character of the vineyards.

This wine, the flagship of Terreno, is made exclusively from handpicked Sangiovese grapes from three vineyards located at altitudes of 320–500 meters. Fermented naturally without added yeast, the wine is aged for 14 months in large oak barrels, followed by an additional year in the bottle. The 2020 vintage is the result of yet another exceptional harvest in the region, offering a straightforward yet elegant Chianti with aromas of cherries, dried Italian herbs, and lively acidity that infuses energy into every sip.

Pair it with a hearty pasta Bolognese and serve it slightly cooled at 16°C in generously sized glasses for the best experience. 

To find our house red wine, we went to Italy's most sought after wine region, Piedmont (again :-). Here we teamed up with Piedmont's best cooperative, Terre del Barolo, to get hold of the best nebbiolo grapes from the fantastic vintage of 2018. Together with the importer Budbreak we are incredibly proud to make this exclusive Barolo wine available to all Singular Society members at cost price.

The grapes included in the wine comes from three growers in three different villages: Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Monforte d'Alba – and we know exactly which vineyards the grapes come from. Mixing several different vineyards in your house wine barolo is a traditional way to achieve a good balance. In our first edition, the grapes from La Morra contribute with perfume and elegance, while Monforte and Serralunga stand for strength, structure and roughness.

Nebbiolo grapes are left to soak with the skin for 20 days to leach out the taste, color and tannins. The wine is then stored in large oak barrels, so-called ”botti”, for at least 18 months. After storage, the wine is bottled where the storage continues until the day you pull out the cork. The wine is drinkable right now but there’s also potential for at least another ten years of storage! Given the age of the wine, it may need some breathing in the carafe before serving it. The optimum temperature for our barolo is 16-17 degrees.

The Diffonty family is best known for their wines from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, which go by the names Chateau Sixtine and Cuvée du Vatican. The property is blessed by the Pope and for a period they supplied the communion wine to The Vatican. The quality took a major leap when Jean-Marc Diffonty took over the helm in the early 1990s. With the help of a new winery, lower harvests and full focus on the best vineyards in Rayas, in La Crau and in Barbe d'Asne, the wines have reached new heights and well-deserved high scores.

The grape blend in 2022 Côte-du-Rhône Villages consists of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Grenache contributes with fruit and perfume, while Syrah balances with structure and spiciness. The grapes grow in sandy clay soils with elements of limestone and come from older vineyards just outside the border of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. After destemming and fermentation, the wine is stored for 12 months in cement tanks to maintain its freshness.

Inviting aroma of cherries, raspberries, licorice and Provencal herbs. Perfectly matched with well-balanced acids and food-friendly structure.

Party bubbles like no other! Pet Nat is a type of sparkling wine that, as we know, only undergoes one fermentation process in the bottle, unlike Champagne and Cava which undergo two. This difference gives Pet Nat an extremely fruity and juicy character. It's a wine to drink immediately once opened, preferably in a festive setting and why not with some salted snacks?

In this wine, our producer Dürnberg has chosen to work with the favorite grape Grüner Veltliner, a perfect choice to achieve a fruity and invitingly perfumed Pet Nat. In the elegant white wine glass, it has a soft mousse, lively acidity, and cheerful grapefruit notes.

With our Cava Brut Nature we're backing up our luxurious house champagne and complementing our wine library with an exceptionally good cava! Naturally made from organic grapes in the driest style you can imagine – Brut Nature Reserva, which means the sugar content is equal to 0 grams. Despite the absence of dosage, the wine has a radiant fruitiness that meets and balances the pure singing acids. Elegant and crisp, with a good mid-range that lifts yellow citrus, pepper, and light flowers.

Traditionally made by the Entre Vinyes vineyard in Penedès, Catalonia, from the three grape varieties xarel-lo, macabeo, and parellada. The vines have a significant age, with the oldest planted in 1935 in calcareous clay soil. The cultivation is certified organic, and the great biodiversity present creates a unique ecosystem that naturally regulates the balance of the vine. After the second fermentation, the wine is aged for 20 months before being bottled completely dry without added sugar.

All sparkling wines can be stored longer than you think, but when it comes to this wine, there's nothing to wait for. Freshness is what we're after, and it's even more evident if you serve it in an elegant white wine glass with a collector's opening. The aftertaste lingers surprisingly long and leaves us with a lingering mineral saltiness that goes well with salty snacks. Perfect for all types of salty pinxtos! In other words, everything we want from our go-to everyday bubbles.

Récolte Noir Brut is made from 100 percent pinot noir from vines with an average age of just over 25 years. The finished wine is a mixture of different vintages, a so-called multi vintage, where around 30 percent are older reserve wines. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels from Puligny-Montrachet and the wine spends a total of 24 months on the lees before bottling. Brut in this case means that the champagne is bottled with a residual sweetness of a careful 5 grams per liter. The finished wine was disgorged, that is, the moment when the final cork is put in the bottle, on June 6, 2022.

About two hours drive from the city of Reims is Champagne's southernmost subregion Côte des Bar. Here we also find the most exciting growers right now, including Davy Dosnon, who has 7.5 hectares of vineyards. Before Davy succeeded in acquiring his own vineyards in Champagne, he worked in Burgundy for a long time. The experience from this is clearly reflected in his Champagne making process, and it is not for nothing that his wines are often referred to as ”bubbling better Chablis”. Part of the reason is that the soil in Dosnon's vineyards, calcareous kimmeridgian clay, is almost identical to the soil in Chablis. Of course he also ferments his champagnes in Burgundian oak barrels!

This type of champagne, which is made solely from blue grapes, can handle most things on the dinner table. However, it’s still a good idea not to complicate things too much. It pairs perfectly with natural or cooked seafood, and if you want to keep it simple, serve the champagne as a welcome drink with salty snacks. Feel free to pour into a slightly larger cup so that the wine has room to move.

When we found the cool grape arneis and a passionate grower named Giovanni Almondo we knew we had hit the spot in the search for our first house white wine. The Almondo family lives in Montà in the northern part of Roero, which is part of Piedmont. Here, in the sandy soils, the otherwise fairly hard-grown green grape arneis thrives.

The vineyard where the grapes grow is located about 400 meters above sea level and the soil here consists of 60% sand, 25% clay and 15% limestone. After harvesting, pressing and fermentation, the wine is stored for 10 months in a 95% steel tank and 5% unroasted barriques, so as not to "color" the wine in any way. The oak barrels help to round off the acid in the wine a bit.

Over the years, Giovanni has become an expert in producing crispy and mineral-driven white wines from various vineyard locations. Our wine comes from a six-hectare vineyard with older vines called Bricco delle Ciliegie. The age of the vines along with the soil provides a mix of elegant citrus perfume, mineral salt, hazelnuts and refreshing acids.

Roero Arneis is drinkable now, but if you prefer to wait for it, you could store this type of serious Arneis for a few years as well.

Austria's green national grape is undoubtedly Grüner Veltliner, but it's not often that it comes in such a beautiful package! And we can thank producer Dürnberg's old vines for that. As the vine gets older, it produces fewer grapes, but in return, the grape must become more concentrated and deep. Along with aging on the lees for six months, partly in old oak barrels and partly in steel tanks, the result is phenomenal!

In addition to the classic aromas of grapefruit, white pepper, and citrus, there’s also a lovely minerality. It is especially noticeable in the taste where it contributes coolness and chalky stone character.

A wine that actually gets even better with any flatfish of your choice, beurre blanc, and haricots verts. Drink immediately or store for a couple of years if you have the opportunity.

Many of the best red European wines of the future will be found in cooler regions. Austria is a country we’ve had our eyes on for a long time, but it’s mostly been about white wines.

At the producer Dürnberg in the Weinviertel region, we came across a wine made from the blue grape Zweigelt. Aromatically, it's a cherry festival with ripe and sour berries interlaced with a nice spiciness. The taste is elegant and light on its feet but surprisingly long-lasting.

We prefer to drink this after a stint in the fridge, so the temperature reaches around 17-18 degrees Celsius. Serve in large cups, the same as you would use for Pinot Noir, preferably with a homemade Caesar salad with grilled chicken. It also works perfectly as a kitchen wine while you cook.
