The Portfolio
Wines from L'Autin
L'Autin Bonarda
Bonarda near Mount Monviso is produced by an ancient method of secondary fermentation that has defined alpine red wine culture in this corner of the Piemonte Alps for centuries — low in alcohol, lightly frizzante, deeply coloured, and built to be enjoyed cool. L'Autin's certified organic expression delivers fresh dark cherry, blackberry, wild violet, and a vivid frizzante texture that makes it ideal at the aperitif hour alongside cured meats and young cheeses. A vivid departure from the serious structured reds that dominate the Piemonte narrative, and one of the most accessible and crowd-pleasing wines in the portfolio.

RedL'Autin Ramìe
Ramìe is one of the rarest indigenous grapes in all of Piemonte — a near-extinct alpine variety cultivated on the high-altitude mineral soils below Mount Monviso, where certified organic farming and severe terrain shape wines of stark individuality that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in Italy. L'Autin's expression is medium-bodied and poised: dried alpine herb, red cherry, a floral lift, and an earthy mineral character that speaks only of ancient, rare-breed viticulture at altitude. For wine-literate accounts and sommeliers who prioritise genuine rarity, provenance, and the story no other importer currently brings to their market.

WhiteL'Autin Timorasso
Timorasso is Piemonte's most compelling native white — a grape capable of producing structured, textured wines of real depth and aging potential, for decades overlooked in favour of international varieties, and now being rediscovered by sommeliers across Italy and beyond. L'Autin's certified organic expression from Mount Monviso altitude shows ripe pear, hazelnut, white mineral, and a lanolin richness on the palate, with an unusually long and saline finish that rewards the table rather than the aperitif. One of the most compelling Italian whites entering the U.S. market — essential for fine dining programmes, serious collectors, and any account building a credible Italian white wine narrative.
