Ocone is located in the town of Ponte on the slopes of Mount Taburno
which lends its name to Ocone's unique DOC. Giuseppe Ocone founded this
estate in 1910 when most of the wine from Campagnia was sold in bulk to

itself from other producers by isolating the region's traditional varietals
grown nowhere else in the world. Innovations in temperature control and
contemporary bottling established Ocone as a world class wine estate. Domenico,
the third generation of Ocone producers, is dedicated to the estate's biodynamic,
totally organic viticulture. Ocone farms approximately 70 acres, half estate
and half under contract from local growers within the same orientation.

Basque Region
Located in what the world has come to know as the "Basque"
region of Spain, Navarra is rich in geographical diversity and history.
The Basque region extends from the Pyrenees Mountains on the French border
to the Ebro River basin located on the edge of the Rioja Baja. Navarra's
winemaking regions fall into five zones: Tierra de Estella, Valdizarbe,
Baja Montaña, Ribera Alta and Ribera Baja. The climate is influenced by
both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The Basque region is
known for red varietals such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo
& Txakoli(the refreshing spritzy white). As a whole, the Basque have been
able to walk that fine line of holding true to tradition while embracing
modernity. The wines from this region are an excellent example of this balance.

Bodegas Aragonesas is the largest wine estate in Spain's Campo de Borja
region, where grapes have grown for over 800 years. The estate is favored
with an unusually dry climate that guarantees a consistently excellent harvest.
The vineyards are rocky, highly elevated, and ideally exposed to the sun,
resulting in perfect ripeness and flavor. While they continue to plant new
grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah to enhance their
wine's complexity, they use primarily old vine Garnacha. These Garnacha
vineyards - some planted over 100 years ago - produce exceptionally low
yields ensuring deep ruby color and rich, full-bodied flavors that are both
soft and complex.
