A light red from Lake Garda that is great for fish, prosciutto crudo and mozzarella salads and just general summer sipping – especially chilled. Not freezing. On ice is nice. If you like a Gamay or Pinot, try this.
A glorious, Barolo made from grapes grown in the perimeter rows around Garesio s two cru vineyards, Cerretta and Gianetto. If the glorious wafts of scented roses and violets with porcini hints don t immediately make themselves present, decant. It has an almost ethereal, silky texture and fine-boned tannins and a mineral streak.  Sharing vineyards with Giacomo Conterno…
Castello Romitorio make Brunello. But they also have vineyards on the gently sloping hills of Scansano, nearer the coast (20K), which expresses the freshness of Sangiovese. The combination of altitude, south-westerly exposure, and rich volcanic soils in Scansano create one of Italy s most unique microclimates. The wine is aged for several months in large…
Rich cassis notes, with that intense balsamic aspect that Sangiovese grown near Montalcino in Tuscany seems to adopt – plus some leather and tobacco hints. A gorgeous, modern and very polished Brunello for utter indulgence. Decanting is up to you. Tommaso Cortonesi made it clear it wasn t necessary when we organised a wine dinner with him…

Tempranillo at its most profound comes from (in our opinion) Ribera del Duero. Scattered with old, twisted vines – it produces rich, inky, age-worthy wines. As it s only a couple of hours drive north of Madrid, it is loved by the jet set. And two of Spain s most revered wineries are in the region (Vega Sicilia…
Refreshing and Cabernet Sauvignon are not words you normally find together. But this classy Yarra Valley wine is a joyful blackcurranty beaut (without the jam).
Located in the heart of the ancient Chianti Classico region, in Panzano in Chianti, one hour s drive from Florence, Tenuta Casenuove covers 105 hectares spread over a succession of hills and valleys. There are 28 hectares under vine (in organic conversion), the rest of the estate largely laid to forest and olive groves. It…
We’ve sold this wine since we first opened in 2013 and it is still a best-seller. The producer is Eduardo Miroglio who made his money in textiles in Italy before buying vineyards in the Thracian wine region, in southern Bulgaria near the border with Greece and Turkey – which now produces some of the country’s…
A plush rendition of Etna s signature red grape. Fruit forward, yet with the unmistakable smoky tones of Etna s volcanic soils. And acidity. A must try for pinot fans.
Benanti are proud of having a vineyard on every slope in the Etna DOC. This is a selection from those slopes. It s like a Pinot meets a Barolo. A classic Etna blend of mainly Nerello Mascalese (20% matured in oak)Â and Nerello Cappuccio, which adds softness to the blend. This is best drunk with food…
We ve cracked many a Mrs Slocombe joke over this wine. A rich and juicy Languedoc lovely that is more than just a wine with a great cat label. Named after the cat that France sent into space – she came back alive. The juice inside is vegan-friendly. <!–amp.product-description.start– Or as everyone knows it, space cats!…
Paul Hobbs makes fine Napa Cabs – and a pretty classy Malbec in Argentina, too. Crammed with blackcurrant and plum flavours, with a lovely scent and some savoury graphite notes, it isn t overly jammy – which lets a lot of cheaper Malbecs down – and feels very refined. <!–amp.product-description.start– Paul Hobbs makes fine Napa Cabs…
Bags of plump, glossy dark fruit with sprinkles of savoury spice. A powerful Southern Rhône Grenache blend with silky tannins. Impress your friends – AND your palate… Perfect with a rib of beef.
Named after Chiara Ciavolich s grandmother who was forbidden to marry, because her parents didn t want to pay a dowry, and was passed over in favour of her younger brother when it came to running the winery when their father died. We re talking the 20th century here… The wine itself is plush, with…
We can’t pretend this is handcrafted by a gnarled vignaiolo, but rather a ‘concept’ wine from Botter, a family business started in the 1920s in a small town near Venice, wholesaling bulk wine. They now own 23 brands across Italy, of which Gran Passione is one. Botter say the wine is for “classic-enthusiasts, hedonists who…
