By 2020, small harvests became possible. With a long-term goal of creating a 100% estate-grown domaine “AL FIORE,” the “PASSO A PASSO” label was born—meaning “step by step,” a reflection of their steady, honest progress.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited to just 461 bottles, each label features an ultrasound image of the winemaker’s child, conceived during the first harvest. It’s a heartfelt symbol of nurturing both life and vines.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis release is a unique red blend led by Merlot, with touches of Chardonnay and Riesling. Soft tannins and a hint of spice make for a well-balanced wine with lingering charm and depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-360\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-mce-tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"07d1da51-19a3-40ad-ad06-afd9cb66a898\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words dark\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"126\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fattoria AL FIORE\u003cbr data-start=\"27\" data-end=\"30\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"55\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003cbr data-start=\"64\" data-end=\"67\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20% estate-grown \/ 80% from trusted partner growers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"1142\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"871\"\u003eLabel design\u003c\/strong\u003e: Teruhiro Yanagihara\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1144\" data-end=\"1147\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1597\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1171\"\u003eFrom the winemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1174\"\u003e At Fattoria AL FIORE, we began planting our own vineyard and partnering with wineries in 2015. Though the path has not been without challenges, by 2020 we were able to begin harvesting small batches. That said, our estate yields remain modest—sometimes only one or two barrels—and the vines are still finding their potential. For now, we continue blending with grapes from trusted farmers to create wines in greater volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1599\" data-end=\"1851\"\u003eWe believe the day will come when ‘AL FIORE’ can stand entirely on the strength of our own grapes, focusing on single varietals. Until then, we take each step with care and humility. That’s why we’ve named this new journey ‘PASSO A PASSO’—step by step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1853\" data-end=\"2177\"\u003eThe label was designed by Teruhiro Yanagihara, a globally acclaimed designer who also created our winery’s entrance space. As our vines bore their first fruit, my wife Rena and I discovered we were expecting our first child. The label includes her ultrasound image—symbolizing the growth of both a new life and the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2418\"\u003eThough we now have a few cuvées made entirely with our grapes, we’re still deciding whether to release them under the PASSO A PASSO line or reserve them for the AL FIORE domain. We want AL FIORE to represent the pinnacle of our expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2420\" data-end=\"2695\"\u003eWe do not wish our estate wines to be seen as inherently superior. Rather, we hope they reflect our pursuit of excellence—crafted not just for today, but with a vision for the generations ahead. We are committed to creating Japanese wines we can share proudly with the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2790\"\u003eThank you for your continued support.
