Discover wine’s possibilities

‘To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.’ - Aristotle

The most beautiful things in life come from industrious hands. Vignerons like Hubert Lignier, who, obsessed with the health of his tiny 1.5ha of old-vine Pinot Noir, is passing viticultural know-how to his sons. Or, family-owned Le Ragnaie winery, tending organic hand-harvested vineyards in the highest altitude vineyards of Montalcino, Tuscany.

Vinos Inacayal
