February 2026 Wine Class: Nicola Biscardo (Italy)

Join us Thursday, February 26 at 6 PM for our next wine class, featuring the wines of importer Nicola Biscardo.  Nicola will join us to discuss his mission to provide family owned, sustainably farmed, low intervention, indigenous Italian wines to the world.

About Nicola Biscardo:

NICOLA BISCARDO SELECTIONS, formerly CONEXPORT ITALY (Council for the export of prestigious Italian wines), was established in 1987 by Terenzio Biscardo to internationally promote a line of high quality Italian wines produced by selected estates from the most notable regions of Italy.

Our philosophy is to establish a direct line between our winery and our wholesaler; as such, we like to consider ourselves a bridge between our vineyards and our clients, not an intermediary. 

Nicola Biscardo Selections only associates with producers who have earned the highest respect among their peers and who consistently produce proven high quality products. Every winery is family owned and follows Organic, Biodynamic, or Sustainable farming, implementing very few interventions in wine-making to craft natural wines.

We specialize in “indigenous” varietals—grapes that are grown only in specific areas of Italy and not grown anywhere else —because we believe that those wines are the only ones able to deliver unique flavors and elicit emotions. 

Terenzio’s son Nicola Biscardo has been in the family business since he was born, but joined the American company in 1997.

Nicola Biscardo Selections begins the selection process by visiting potential new estates throughout Italy analyzing every aspect of the Estate and analyzing every step of the production process. A panel of experts then conducts a series of tastings over a period of twelve months to monitor the consistency of the quality of the wines.

Nicola Biscardo Selections takes responsibility for full compliance in the US market and oversees the logistics from the winery to our temperature-controlled warehouse in New Jersey. We religiously believe in the “Catena del Freddo”—the “Chilled Chain”—meaning that the wine travels in temperature controlled environments every step of the way.

We will taste the following wines and snacks will be provided:

Antonio Mazella Ischia Biancolella 

 Castiadas Cannonau 

Nicola Trabucco ERRE Aglianico

St. Quirinis Pinot Noir
