Where it comes from
Eight regions, one book
We buy from families, not brands. Every region here is one we have walked.
Calabria
The oldest wine country in Italy, and the least understood
Greek settlers planted Gaglioppo on these hillsides nearly three thousand years ago and it never left. The wines are sun-warmed but never heavy, carrying a savory edge that comes from vines rooted in sand and clay a few kilometers from the Ionian Sea. This is where Above Wines began, and it is still the heart of the book.

From the shop
What people tell us
“I have bought Italian wine for twenty years and I had never heard of half of what is on this shelf. Every recommendation has landed.”
“They put a Cirò Rosso in my hand and told me to stop overthinking it. Best $26 I have spent on wine.”
“Our restaurant switched the whole by-the-glass program over. Guests notice.”
Experiences
Private tastings, events, and travel to Italy
We host tastings in the Irving shop, pour at private events across DFW, and take small groups to walk the vineyards we buy from.
