Our producers
Spain
Akutain | Rioja Alta
This is traditional Grower Rioja at its best! Bodegas Akutain strives to produce wines in the traditional style set forth by the Grandes Bodegas, but on a much smaller scale, and most importantly to singularly reflect the wind-swept, high elevation terruño of Rioja Alta. Akutain has begun converting their highest elevation vineyard, Gembres, to organic viticulture, with the rest of the estate following suit.
Altavins Viticultors | Terra Alta
Altavins was created in 2001 by Joan Bautista Arrufí and Jordi Casadó. From the very beginning, this winery has worked towards putting the traditional Terra Alta grape varieties in their true hall of fame. This is a small winery with production limited to 120,000 bottles per vintage therefore, utmost care have been given to growing the grapes and transforming them into superb quality wines.
Adegas Gran Vinum | Rias Baixas
Adegas Gran Vinum is a family winery owned by Enrique Pineiro. In 1998 the Val do Salnes subregion was added to D.O. Rias Baixas spurring a renewed focus on quality wines. Adegas Gran Vinum reacted by adding new vineyard plots on steep, sandy, south-facing slopes, near the ocean which minimized temperature swings and extended maturation times giving more spice, saline and fruity varietal character to the wines.
José Luis Aristegui | Valdeorras
José Luis Aristegui made his first wine in 2011, and have in less than 10 years managed to become one of the reference producers for natural wine in Galicia. From his modest winery in the village of A Rúa de Valdeorras he produce a few thousand bottles annualy, with minimal intervention techniques. His grandfather planted the vineyards in the 1930s, the grapes include Mencia, Godello and Garnacha Tintorera. The Atlantic influence and personality of José Luis marks the style of these highly quaffable wines.
Ca´n Verdura | Mallorca
Tomeu Llabres of Ca´n Verdura opened the doors to his winery in 2012, still today it’s located in a garage outside the town of Binissalem. His wines are all energy and youth, unlike any others on the island. They are all produced with minimal intervention methods, and in minuscule quantities. Tomeu is representing the most rebellious, modern and extravagant side Mallorca. Of course we had to work with Tomeu Llabres!
Costers del Priorat | Priorat
The wines of Costers del Priorat are all about elegance and balance, far away from the strong and over-extracted wines of the past. Winemaker Jose Mas Barberà has a diffrent approach, spontaneous fermentations with the yeast from the vineyad and the use a multitude of vessels that allow air exchange. These are some of the techniques he uses to achieve power through elegance. The blended cuvées, Petit Pissarres and Pissarres are perfect introducion to his style, in the single vineyard wines Clos Cypres and Clos Alzina he takes it one step further.

In 2003, he decided to set up Bodegas Exopto. Toms winery demonstrates to perfection a complex balance between modernity and tradition. All the Tempranillo vineyards are located in the town of Abalos, in the Rioja Alta, where the climate enjoys an Atlantic influence. The Garnacha and Graciano vineyards are mostly situated on the hillsides of Monte Yerga in the south of La Rioja.
Martínsancho | Rueda
Martínsancho is the late Angel Rodríguez' 17th-century vineyard, a local legend responsible for the preservation of Rueda's indigenous Verdejo grape. The vineyard is now run by his children. Cuttings from here were used in 1976 to establish a 25-acre vineyard planted in the traditional head-pruned fashion and dry-farmed. Low-yield Verdejo apports viscosity and a long finish while retaining a delicate floral nose. The family does only one wine.
Más Candí | Penedès
Ramón Jané broke 500 years of family tradition in 2006 by vinifying a portion of his grapes with his wife Mercé Cuscó and best friend/oenologist Toni Carbó as Mas Candí—they had always sold their crop to large cava producers. They remain grape growers first, farming biodynamically on the inland edge of the Garraf massif, and plan to keep their production limited. Over centuries of tasting, the Jané family has tailored their farming to focus on indigenous Xarel.lo, which grows best in their living calcareous clay soils.
Navarro López | Valdepeñas
Bodegas Navarro López was founded in 1904 as a modest family winery by Don Juan Sánchez Megía. The original winery still stands today in the town of Valdepeñas. At SOMM we are working with a special range of wines called Don Aurelio from the families own vineyards in Valdepeñas . We consider these wines to be some of the most competitively priced in Spain.

Sandra Bravo is awarded `Wine Maker of the Year 2019´ by Tim Atkin.
Parra Jimenez | Cuenca
Spain lagged way behind the rest of Western Europe in embracing organic agriculture, so the brothers Parra (Francisco, Javier & Luis) could be said to have pioneered organic wine production in sun-blasted Castilla La Mancha, even though their work began in the 1990s. With 3 vineyard sites in the region and a winery ‘Cuesta Colora’ with a capacity of 2 million litres, they are major players in the arid land of Don Quixote.

Señorío del Júcar | Albacete
The two Cueva Llana-wines from Señorío del Júcar are both grown in a privilaged spot by the river Júcar in eastern Spain. The river makes its way through the massive limestone formations forming a canyon with cliffs over 200 metres high. The vines that produce Cueva Llana Shiraz are located at an altitude of 850m, which is beneficial to the ripening process since this keeps the grapes fresher. For the white Macabeu this privilaged terroir results in a complex wine with aromas of mango and pineapple. Both wines come with an Organic certification.

This is a new project that shows great promise, fresh wines from Garnacha grown in the trendy Gredos mountain region. Loved by sommeliers on Ibiza since the first day we started selling them.

Italy
Cantine Sacchetto | Prosecco
The Sacchetto company was established in the early ‘900s, in the Veneto region where the wine was an integral part of the history, culture and economy. The founder was Sisto Sacchetto, who set up the vine and wine-making trade in the early postwar period. Thanks to his technical and sales skills, the flourishing trade developed into a more structured reality between the ‘50’s and the ‘60’s, the Italian economic boom years.
Castellare di Castellina | Chianti Classico
Castellare di Castellina has vineyards covering 33 hectares on the hillsides of a natural south-east facing amphitheatre, at an average height of 370 meters above sea level. The vines are aged between 7 and over 45 years, and yields per hectare are kept very low to obtain the maximum quality. Excellent exposure to the sun, good water drainage and a mixed soil containing limestone marl, galestro and little clay produce well-structured, intense wines, both red and white, suitable for long ageing in the bottle.
Cantine Buglioni | Valpolicella
Everything started back in the summer of 1993, when they purchased an old farmhouse surrounded by three hectares of vineyards and two hectares of olive groves. In the year 2000 – after completing the renovation of the farmhouse and its underground cellar – did they turn to the prestigious Oenology Institute of San Michele all’Adige, in Trento, to find a young enologist to join the team. Diego Bertoni took up the challenge and is still the enologist.
Feudi del Pisciotto | Sicily
If Tuscany and Piedmont are the regions that produce Italy’s most excellent wines Sicily, on the other hand, one of the country’s most historic wine regions, has in recent years been increasingly asserting itself as a land of great wines. The estate dates back to the 1700s and was one of the largest in Sicily.
Rocca di Frassinello | Maremma
The Rocca di Frassinello project was inspired by a very simple idea – or should we say a very simple need: to replicate the model of excellence set in motion by the Castellare di Castellina winery in a new region. They set their sights on the central Maremma area, between Bolgheri and Scansano, where a sort of geological foot can be found, with the same characteristics as the Chianti and Montalcino terrain.
San Leonardo | Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol
San Leonardo is the magical heir to a tradition known the world over as Bordeaux blending. Dreams and heritage mingle to bring you a wine that conveys all its land-rooted character and genuine territory-focused appeal. A powerful yet elegant red, San Leonardo brings together the colours, aromas and savours of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot aged in small oak barrels, melding them harmoniously into a uniquely intense, full-bodied wine with superb depth of flavour.
