Malkhaz with Antonio and Giuseppe at their estate in Puglia.
We didn't read about these wines. We stood in the cellars.
The Simple Wine is a father-and-son import company. Since 2016 we have built direct relationships with more than 40 small family estates across Italy and France. No brokers, no distributors, no bottles chosen from a catalog.
Malkhaz tastes from the tank with the winemaker before a single case goes on a container. If a wine needs additives to be likable, it never makes the list.
The case, bottle by bottle
A bold southern red, a classic Chianti, two organic Veneto reds, and two elegant Piemonte reds.
Primitivo IGT · Masseria Lavolpe
The crowd-pleaser. Ripe plum, morello cherry, violet, smooth finish.
Gonfalone Chianti DOCG · Trambusti
Classic Sangiovese. Bright cherry, gentle spice. Pasta's best friend.
Cabernet Franc DOC · Dissegna
Fresh red fruit with the herbal edge that makes Cab Franc a food grape.
Pinot Nero IGT · Dissegna
The lightest of the six. Plum, cherry, violet, silky texture.
Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC · Antica Cascina
The grape behind Barolo, minus the price and the ten-year wait. Violets, fresh cherry, fine tannin.
Langhe Dolcetto DOC · Piani Alti
Bright red fruit, the classic little almond note. A Tuesday-night pour in Piemonte.
In a good wine shop, family-estate bottles like these run $28 to $38 once a distributor and a retailer each take a cut. We buy from the family and ship it ourselves.
Small estates, small quantities. Fewer than 35 six-packs in the warehouse.What we mean by clean
Most supermarket wine is an industrial product: coloring agents for consistency, added sugar for body, flavor additives for scale. These six are made the old way.
Zero additives
No added sugar, coloring agents, or flavor additives. Grapes, fermentation, and the cellar's patience.
Organic and minimal-intervention farming
Small vineyards farmed by the families who own them. This is how they have always worked, not a marketing layer.
Estate to your door
We buy directly from the winemaker and ship it ourselves. No distributor, no warehouse years, no catalog buying.
Free shipping, fast
Most orders ship within 24-48 business hours. Adult signature required on delivery.
Our guarantee
If something arrives damaged, flawed, or not right, email us and we will make it right.
Picked by people
Selected by us, not an algorithm. Vintages may vary; substitutions are equal or higher value.
Restock the everyday shelf with the real thing.
