We’re raising a glass to Colterenzio @colterenzio_schreckbichl. Nestled in the foothills of the Dolomites in Alto Adige, Colterenzio is a leading cooperative with over 300 conscientious growers and a commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. Their stunning estate boasts state-of-the-art facilities and eco-conscious practices - including solar power and gravity-fed cellars - all while preserving traditional winemaking values.

From from classically made Pinot Grigio to a dry and mineral-driven Gewurztraminer, along with Cru wines such as Lagrein ‘Mantsch’ or Pinot Nero ‘St Daniel’ to their Lafoa Series, their wines are pure Alpine character in a bottle. We highly suggest you explore the lineup and discover why Colterenzio is one of Italy’s most awarded and respected wineries, boasting awards including Gambero Rosso’s Best White Wine in Italy, Colterenzio Sauvignon Blanc ‘Gran Lafóa’ with only 300 bottles produced- of which we have 24.

We’re proud to represent Lady of the Sunshine and Scar of the Sea- two distinct, low-intervention wine projects shaped by the vision and partnership of Gina and Mikey Giugni. Gina, a Littorai alum who trained under the renowned Ted Lemon, brings a precise, elegant touch to Lady of the Sunshine, crafting expressive Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Her labels are uniquely personal- each one features a design she’s hand-designed and embroidered, making it truly one of a kind. Mikey, who honed his craft in Tasmania, leads Scar of the Sea, where he explores the more experimental edge of coastal California winemaking- skin-contact Palomino, solera-style Chardonnay, sparkling wines, and innovative co-ferments. Together, they recently acquired their first estate site, the historic Bassi Vineyard on the San Luis Obispo Coast- a testament to their long-term commitment to thoughtful farming and terroir-driven winemaking. Two perspectives, one shared philosophy- wines of character, place, and integrity. Our team at Acme is excited to continue highlighting their thoughtful creations.
