Greg Martellotto looked at the five noble Bordeaux varieties and refused to choose. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSenz Altro means \"without a doubt\" \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e— and that's exactly the attitude behind it. Cabernet Sauvignon for backbone. Merlot for flesh. Cabernet Franc for lift. Petit Verdot for color and spice. Malbec for the finishing touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaving even one out felt irresponsible, so Greg didn't. The result isn't a blend that's trying to please everyone. It's a blend that does everything at once — \u003cstrong\u003estructure, richness, savor, and polish \u003c\/strong\u003e— grown in Santa Barbara County and aged in French oak until the five grapes stop arguing and start singing in unison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSince 2005, Greg has been crafting wines in his family's tradition, using techniques passed down through generations of Italian vintners. But this isn't your typical family story. Greg took those ancestral secrets and spent decades refining them, perfecting them, pushing them beyond what even his forefathers imagined possible. His mastery recently earned him recognition as a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ecertified Italian Wine Ambassador—one of only 450 people worldwide to receive this prestigious honor.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe result? Wines so exceptional that they've been flying completely under the radar, known only to a select few who stumble upon Martellotto's tiny production runs of fewer than 8,000 cases per year. For years,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreg's wines consistently earned 90+ ratings and collected double gold medals in blind competitions\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOpen it on  a Tuesday.
