A beautiful, delicate vermouth that somehow channels the exotic aromas of flora you find on the air in this remote part of western Sicily. A heady delight when simply drunk over ice with a twist of citrus, it is a transportive aperitif if ever we tasted one. Find out more.

The colour of a brick-tinged Nebbiolo in the glass, this singular red/white blend of Catarratto and Pignatello really captures the essence of this far-flung volcanic island.

Much like its sibling Gewurztraminer, the Roter strain gives off beautiful floral aromatics, but in a far more delicate, detailed and nuanced way. The scent of rose petals but with nothing cloying or overdone. This sense of restraint follows in to the wine too - a well-defined, chiselled feel, with fine tannic framework. Find out more.

A rare planting makes for a unique expression of Syrah, it's potential to display dark, charry fruit here feels enhanced with the volcanic influence. A wide-open perfume floats above a slick, glossy body that is dense with juicy black olives and blackcurrant. Less granular in texture than the other wines using indigenous grapes, it shimmers long into the profoundly mineral finish. Find out more.

Aromatically it is pure Syrah – briny black olive tapenade, peppery blackcurrant fruit – but on the palate the Viognier reveals itself in the more unexpected sensation of citrus peel, fennel, green olive and brings a silky fluidity. It is the harmony found between these two opposing dynamics in which the wine succeeds. Find out more.

This is in many ways her signature cuvée, and offers a beautiful expression of the extreme north of the Ardèche. Find out more.

Stunning expression of old-vine Xarel-lo, here from the Salinar vineyard planted in 1959. Tthe wine was aged in chestnut barrel and for 6 months and not topped up, allowing a gentle oxidative character to form, taking this in the direction of an Amontillado sherry - golden, honeyed with salty almond and citrus peels.
