From the Alps to the Mediterranean, SFERA collaborates with small certified-organic farmers to bottle limited-run bottles of wine. They work with producers who work the land with respect and who aim to preserve the identities of their territories with simple but controlled winemaking. Many producers are certified organic and some use biodynamic techniques in the vineyard. They work hand-in-hand with producers across Italy to explore unique terroirs and shine a light on small-batch, artisanal wines that deserve to be seen and tasted.
The main concept at the heart of Sfera is working together. They partner with winemakers who are eager to experiment, to bottle something truly special—something outside their usual lineup—in small, character-filled batches that speak of place, craft, and creativity.
We are happy to welcome them to the portfolio! They make delicious every day wines and perfect glass pours at a price that we love.
As with all our producers, we will be donating part of the proceeds from sales to a non-profit close to our heart. For Sfera wines, we have chosen to donate to the Edmonton Cold Weather Animal Rescue. Please check them out.
