Three Grape Varieties to Discover

A journey through three authentic treasures of Italian viticulture

Italy is home to hundreds of indigenous grape varieties, many of which remain little known outside their native territories. Yet these are often the grapes that tell the most authentic stories — of landscapes, traditions, local cultures, and generations of winemakers.

With the Three Grape Varieties to Discover box, we invite you to explore three distinctive Italian grapes, each with its own personality and a deep connection to its territory.

Three wines. Three regions. Three completely different expressions of Italian wine.

Blanc de Morgex et de la Salle Valle d'Aosta DOC – Cave Mont Blanc

At the foot of Mont Blanc, among some of Europe's highest vineyards, Prié Blanc produces a wine of remarkable elegance and freshness.

Shaped by the extreme conditions of mountain viticulture, this white wine combines vibrant acidity, pronounced minerality, and a distinctive sense of altitude. A fascinating introduction to one of Italy's most unique alpine grape varieties.

A taste of the mountains — pure, fresh, and unmistakably Alpine.

Schioppettino di Prepotto Friuli Colli Orientali DOC – Grillo Iole

Once almost forgotten, Schioppettino has been brought back to life and is now one of Friuli's most distinctive indigenous red grape varieties.

From the hills of Prepotto, it produces an intriguing wine with aromas of small red berries, spices, and aromatic herbs, supported by freshness and fine tannins. A red wine with a strong personality and a fascinating story of rediscovery.

A grape that almost disappeared — and came back with a character all its own.

Derthona Timorasso Colli Tortonesi DOC – Viberti Giovanni

Timorasso is one of the great indigenous grapes at the heart of Italy's recent wine renaissance.

In the Colli Tortonesi, Viberti Giovanni interprets it as a deep and structured white, combining vibrant minerality, freshness, and remarkable aromatic complexity. It is a wine that rewards patience, with the ability to evolve beautifully over time.

A white wine with the depth, structure, and aging potential to surprise even experienced wine lovers.

Three grapes. Three territories. One journey through Italy.

From the high-altitude vineyards of Valle d'Aosta to the hills of Friuli and the Colli Tortonesi in Piedmont, this box explores three very different sides of Italian viticulture.

Prié Blanc. Schioppettino. Timorasso.

Three indigenous grape varieties that prove just how diverse — and still full of surprises — Italian wine can be.
