Live & Let Wine.
After another exhausting day spent bossing around my team of secret agents, nothing beats a glass of M by Martellotto Cabernet Sauvignon.
It's a tough job, being the one having to give the orders around here. Have you ever tried telling a secret agent what to do? It's tiring work, even if they do love me.
That's why, when I head home, I pop open a bottle of M by Martellotto. Its balance of ripe fruit and tannins combine with flavors of blueberries and spice, and if you take a quick sniff, you might spy a touch of vanilla cocoa on the nose.
It's a wine that shoots for the moon, raking in a combination of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec to add to the already delicious Cabernet Sauvignon flavor.
But here's the deal: this type of wine doesn't just fall from the sky, and it's available for more than only your eyes, so you might want to hurry up and get it before it's sold out and we have to tell you no. Got it, doc?

Martellotto Wines began in a 17th century trullo, an iconic house in Alberobello (the place of pretty trees) in southern Italy. Uniquely constructed without mortar, topped with slate roofs, and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, the trullo is the recessed image in the 2006 vintage front labels. Greg Martellotto’s family has been making wine for generations, and his grandfather brought traditional winemaking practices to the U.S. when he immigrated to Ellis Island in 1909. Greg’s unique skill set includes: winemaking experience in California, Italy and Mexico, launching several wine brands, building a successful import/distribution company and developing long-term relationships with growers, winery owners, and clients. Greg’s intention is to make remarkable wines of consequence, consistency, value, and varietal expression.

Martellotto wines are allocated, vineyard designate wines that are a pleasure to share.
