Wines for Autumn

Country – Italy

Now that Autumn has definitely arrived, we thought it time to put together a selection of natural wines fit for the season. Rich, comforting, warming, aromatic, sensual: these are the bottles we reach for at this time of year.

Antonio Gismondi
Foresta 2023

Deploying some grapes from a different site at lower altitude where the obscure pink-skinned Trebbiano Rosa varietal is planted over soils of heavy clay, this is the more robust and structured of Antonio's wines, whilst still retaining his trademark purity and freshness. Find out more.

  • Region Cerreto Sannita, Campania, Italy
  • Grapes Trebbiano, Trebbiano Rosa & Malvasia di Candia
  • Vineyard Biodynamic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
£23.50

Cantina Giardino
Drogone 2019

Chewy, robust Aglianico that sees a long maceration followed by extended maturation in old chestnut barrels. A wine that needs time for its tannins to integrate, this 2018 is now in a great place, and will improve for many years to come. Find out more.

  • Region Irpinia, Campania, Italy
  • Grapes Aglianico
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
£33.50

Orsi San Vito
Posca Rossa NV

Expect leathery, spicy, developed notes from the older wine & lively, fresh acidity from the younger. Rugged, and delicious. Federico's 'perpetual cuvée' that blends all of his red grapes from multiple vintages in one big concrete tank. Find out more.

  • Region Colli Bolognesi, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
  • Grapes Barbera, Negretto & Sangiovese
  • Vineyard Biodynamic

Ar.Pe.Pe.
Rosso di Valtellina 2022

A real gateway wine for us here at Wayward, and one that taught us that Nebbiolo isn't all about Barolo and Barbaresco. Lithe and elegant with nimble red cherry fruits and a charred rose petal perfume. Find out more.

  • Region Valtellina, Lombardy, Italy
  • Grapes Nebbiolo
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites
£34.50

La Stoppa
Ageno 2020

Unreal levels of depth, concentration and complexity are to be found in this show-stopping, deeply amber wine. So many things to pick out aromatically it's hard to know where to start. Find out more.

  • Grapes Malvasia, Ortrugo, Trebbiano
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites

Etnella
Tracotanza Rosso 2020

Electrically-charged Etna rosso with plenty of brooding charisma, its character transmitting as a fresh heap of cherries steeped in violet perfume, buoyed on a black cushion of volcanic smoke. Find out more.

Orsi San Vito
Sui Lieviti 2022

Rustic, unpolished, unfiltered fizz. Salinity, zesty lemons & savoury depth. One of the first 'col fondo' wines we tried way back when and has been a firm favourite here at Wayward ever since. A big recommendation! Find out more.

  • Region Colli Bolognesi, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
  • Grapes Pignoletto
  • Vineyard Biodynamic
