ONE TIME OFFER $40 (Retail Value $45) : Francesco Fiori — The Forgotten Grape That Refuses to Be Forgotten. Not every great red comes from a name you already know. In the northwest corner of Sardinia, where the winds carry salt from the sea and the land feels a little more untamed, there is a grape that almost disappeared. Cagnulari. For years, it lived in the shadows—overshadowed by more famous varieties, nearly left behind. But a few growers refused to let it go. Among them, Francesco Fiori. He didn’t chase trends. He preserved something older. Something local. Something real. The Nebriosu Cagnulari is the result of that quiet defiance. Wild berries instead of polished fruit. Crushed herbs. A touch of earth. A structure that feels both rustic and intentional—like a wine that knows exactly where it comes from. There’s grip here. Energy. A kind of tension that keeps pulling you back to the glass. It doesn’t try to charm you immediately. It reveals itself slowly. This is not a wine shaped for the masses. It’s shaped by place. By persistence. By the belief that some things are worth saving. And for those who discover it now…

Fine white sand beaches. Crystal clear waters. Soaring granite mountains. These are just the first sights you’ll see on the islands of Italy. 

But below the surface, the islands were formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. And explorers have added layers of civilization one on top of the other ever since. One of those historical layers is a wine culture that spans back over 5000 years. 

In this special Italian Wine Experience, author Tony Margiotta takes you on an adventure in paradise through Italy’s most prominent islands: Sicily and Sardegna. 

You’ll discover:

-A Sicilian Grape Once Found In Bordeaux and Barolo 
-They Say You’ll Live 100 Years If You Drink This Wine
-Why A Grape From Sicily Was Named After Calabria
-4 Wine & Food Pairing Ideas That Taste Like Paradise
-and much more! 

We’ll be tasting 4 hard-to-find local artisan wines from the Italian islands. 

Join us for some paradise wines and enrichment while Tony Margiotta shares with you the story in the bottle.  


After you order, you’ll receive the Zoom link to join the class. 

A portion of the proceeds from every order will be donated to NIAF. 

We thank you in advance for supporting NIAF and small artisan winemakers in Italy!!!

*We ship to all states EXCEPT Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Hawaii, and Alaska
