Dedalus Classics

Finally, we have a new Chianti to satisfy your thirst. 

Of all the well-priced wines we carry, value Chianti Classico always sells out the quickest. There’s just something about it — rustic, with notes of game and leather, but opulent, rippling with waves of spice and cherry. A solid Chianti can make a whole meal.

And because of that, we’re always running low. Until today. Introducing Lo Scultore: our very own Chianti. This cuvée was made for the Dedalus community by the Corsini family of Tuscany, one of the oldest noble families in Italy.

It's classic in all the right ways, expertly made by a family that has specialized in Tuscan wine and agriculture for centuries. This Chianti Classico is a study in balance — savory herbs, red fruits, and a grounding minerality play against each other.

Bertrand comes from a lineage of winemakers in Fleurie and is coming up with the new generation of Beaujolais makers. “Les Bambins” translates to “the kids” (bambinos) in reference to him becoming a father in 2017. Blue volcanic rock and volcanic schist make this bottling a study in terroir of Cru Beaujolais.

There’s a darkness to the Syrah of the Northern Rhône that extends beyond its color. A rippling curtain that shades something ominous, but enticing. It starts with intoxicating black plum and blueberry aromas that waft above the surface and continues with white pepper, smoke, incense, and deep forest. You almost don’t see the gamey, animalistic flavors coming — this is supposed to be a story about fruit, right? But here, they’re tempting. When you drink this Syrah, you connect to something primal.

The winemaking lions of the Northern Rhône have spent decades, centuries even, perfecting their craft. Passing vineyards down from parent to child. But there’s a new name ringing out through these craggy vineyards, and it’s Aurelien Chatagnier.

Aurelien set out at the age of 20 to make great wine on the insanely steep hills around the town of Saint-Pierre-de-Boeuf. Now in his 40s, he’s succeeded.

A sybarite is a hedonist. A sensualist. But also a gourmand. Someone whose thirst for the finest is insatiable — although this Saint Joseph just might quench it. A blend of Syrah from four different communes where Aurelien has developed or rehabilitated vineyards, it’s powerful, elegant, and brambly. It starts out with a wash of red fruit on the nose, followed by purple flowers, freshly sharpened pencils, worn leather, and fruit leather. This is a fresh, light-on-its-feet rendition of Syrah that’s ready to drink right now.
