1. (adj.) Inspiring reverence or admiration; of supreme dignity or grandeur; majestic: an august performance of a drama.

Small Vineyards, Largo Wines, and Bocelli Family Wines are brands and subsidiaries of August Wine Group, a wine company specializing in the import, distribution, education and sales of high-quality wines of distinct character from the Mediterranean. August Wine Group supports small, environmentally responsible growers, and exceptional winemaking from world-class producers in both well-established and up-and-coming wine regions. 

At August Wine Group, we believe that every great wine has an equally great story to tell. That is why we go to great lengths to communicate that story on every bottle. Whether it’s the story of a winemaking bull fighter in Ribera del Duero for Small Vineyards, the inspiration behind making an exciting new, never-before-tried wine in our Largo Wines portfolio, or telling the story of the incomparable Bocelli family in our Bocelli Family Wines Collection, we love to communicate the people, the passion, and the places behind our wines to our clients. 

Largo

Every once in a while, we come across a wine that is really fantastic, but doesn’t meet our requirements to be a “Small Vineyards” wine. It may come from an estate that is larger (and therefore doesn’t satisfy our 10% rule), or it could include a portion mechanically-harvested grapes. But the wine is good, really good–and it deserves a home. So, we import these wines under our sister company, Largo Wines. Largo Wines are made by vintners that we greatly respect and trust, and are among the best values in the market today. Also imported by Largo Wines are special private labels for some of America’s top restaurants and wine purveyors. The Largo brand allows us to protect the integrity of the Small Vineyards designation, and at the same time, introduce terrific, affordable wines to America that are worth getting excited about!
