Originally destined for life as a sommelier, Samuel Tottoli was bitten by the winemaking bug after visiting, talking and tasting with winemakers who passed their passion onto him. He made his first wine in 1998 and, over 20 years later, he’s never looked back since.

A specialist in Alsatian wines, Samuel begins every new vintage with a simple objective: to create the finest wines possible. With a focus on finesse, elegance and complexity, he’s excited to show you the incredible quality of the Alsace region - particularly his rich Rieslings.

Samuel admits he still has a bit of the old sommelier spirit in him. He can’t even look at a wine without picturing a delicious food pairing to go with it, and he often makes winemaking decisions by thinking of a dish and imagining how he could create the perfect wine for it. So make sure to try out his foodie tips while enjoying his Riesling. Bon appetit!
