Ultravino
A boutique UK-based importer specialising in authentic, high-quality Italian wines. Their portfolio is defined by "Artisan Heroes", small, family run estates that prioritise low intervention and traditional methods. Key pillars of their selection include Piemonte Powerhouses, featuring producers like Alberto Burzi (a rising star in Barolo), Livia Fontana (famed for legendary Castiglione Falletto Barolo), and Roberto Garbarino, whose "Alta Langa" sparkling wines serve as a artisanal, traditional method alternative to Champagne.
They are vocal advocates for Alto Piemonte, sourcing from the steep, volcanic terraces of zones like Gattinara and Lessona, where Nebbiolo takes on a more saline, mineral character compared to its southern cousins.
Beyond the North, they select high-repute mavericks such as Chiara Condello in Emilia-Romagna (reimagining Sangiovese), Montepeloso in Tuscany, and Guastaferro in Campania, ensuring every bottle outside their core region still meets the same rigorous standards for "terroir-driven" excellence.
By focusing on direct relationships with these producers, Ultravino positions itself as a curator of provenance, offering wines that are organic, biodynamic, or produced in such small quantities that they rarely reach mainstream retail.
