In doing a little digging on the Pighin family, I did learn a lot and it was pretty eye opening. First and foremost, they are one of the pioneers of the Friuli region which is about as hot as it’s ever been right now.. and they’ve been making wine there since Ancient Rome!
Back in the 1960’s the Pighin brothers took over this estate from a noble family. The boys had a hunger for winegrowing and a thirst for constant improvement and the villagers in the area soon took notice.
With a plethora of success within their first decade in charge, the brothers had developed a large following and a little bit of money – which they used over the next twenty years for enhancements.
They figured if they could build the most state-of-the-art winery in the region and acquire a few special estate vineyards, they’d be much better off than relying on contracts for fruit like so many of their neighbors and they could control every stage of the process. Both of those gambles have paid off in a big, big way.

95 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The former assistant winemaker and apprentice for Helen Turley at Marcassin, Matt Courtney left to start something special at Arista in 2013 and is well on his way. The winery has expanded, their waitlist for bottle allocations now stands at 18-months and every critic in America raves about these wines. His newly released 2019 Arista Russian River Valley Chard is a gem, one that earned 95 pts from Parker’s Wine Advocate who called it, “wonderfully inviting to drink and impressive quality.”
Their newly released Chablis AC 2022 soars from the glass, redolent of green apple and citrus cream. The fruit is generous, and expansive on the palate with layer upon layer that just gets better with air. The finish is a mile long, with just great tension, speaking to Fèvre family’s old vine holdings in the chalky limestone of Fontenay-Près-Chablis.
A large glass is necessary to capture the brilliant aromatics of Talmard’s Macon Uchizy. Aromas of ripe Meyer lemon, peach, honey and mint just blast from the glass upon pouring. The wine takes on weight with aeration, developing flavors of crisp green apple, juicy peach and lemon custard. The finish is long and fresh, so good with food. Roast some salmon, make sweet corn risotto, use it as an aperitif, it’s a great choice for a house white to be enjoyed all year round.
Just 20 cases of this crazy small, rare and elite import managed to find their wine to America, and I scooped up five of them for Nicholas wines. This is a fabulous Cru Sancerre that showcases one of the finest vineyards in Sancerre from the lights-out 2019 vintage in the Loire Valley. It comes from Cul de Beaujeu, one of Chavignol’s most famous vineyards, with an incline of up to 60 degrees! It’s old-vine Sancerre grown on Kimmeridgian clay and limestone with all the vineyard work and harvesting done by hand. It truly represents the creme de la creme.
