ONE TIME OFFER $39 (Retail Value $70) 66 BOTTLES REMAINING!: Tintilia: The Soul of Molise in Every Sip Somewhere between the mountains and the sea, where the crisp breeze of the Adriatic whispers secrets to the sunlit hills, lies a grape so rare, it’s whispered about in hushed tones by those who know. Tintilia—Molise’s native treasure—thrives at 885 feet above sea level in the TerreSacre vineyards, where rugged mountain air dances with coastal salt to create a terroir unlike any other. This is no ordinary wine. Crafted from the estate’s oldest vines, each grape is hand-selected at the precise moment of perfection, as if time itself had conspired to pause for this ritual. Half the wine rests in the cool precision of steel, while the other half is cradled in French oak barrels for 12 months, merging science with artistry. Only then are they united, creating a blend as harmonious as the landscapes from which it hails. The result? A wine with elegance in its very essence. The nose greets you with ripe fruits—plum jam and wild berries—woven with a balsamic whisper and the subtle spice of black pepper. On the palate, it is refined, with an elegant tannic structure that lingers, persistent and proud, like a well-told story. Pair it with life’s grand moments: rich pastas, hearty roasts, braised meats, or aged cheeses that sing their own melody. Only 7,000 bottles of this handcrafted wonder exist—each one a testament to the artistry of Molise and a celebration of Tintilia’s enduring legacy.

Italy’s Best Kept Wine Secrets: A Journey Back to the Land of Wine

Two thousand years ago, the Italian peninsula was legendary. "The Land of Wine," they called it—a title spoken with reverence, where Bacchus himself might have roamed the vineyards. Yet, today, the world thinks of Italy and salivates for its cuisine, forgetting the nectar that put it on the map.

So, what happened? And more importantly, what’s still waiting to be rediscovered?

Join author and importer Tony Margiotta for a one-hour virtual escape into the heart of Italian wine culture. Together, we’ll unravel secrets hidden in the hills, valleys, and cellars of a land still brimming with vinous treasures—ones the big brands don’t want you to know.

Here’s What Awaits You:

--The Italian Wines Offering Unmatched Value (perfect for impressing guests without breaking the bank).

--One Wine You Should Avoid at All Costs (yes, even in Italy!).

--The Emperor's Wine (hint: it’s as bold as it is legendary).

--Four Micro Wineries Fighting for Authenticity Over Advertising (and why their wines are worth every sip).

--Four Heavenly Italian Wine & Food Pairings That Will Outshine Any Restaurant Meal.
This is not just another wine class. 

It’s an experience—a virtual taste of La Dolce Vita in the company of like-minded enthusiasts and the insider knowledge of Tony Margiotta.

And the best part? We’ll be tasting four rare, hard-to-find artisan wines from across Italy, each handpicked for this journey.
