Principiano Ferdinando Serralunga Barolo 2018
In the prized vineyards of the Barolo DOCG it is rare to find producers that are making wine without the addition of at least a small amount of suphur in the cellar - Principiano Ferdinando have eschewed it since the early 2000s. The vines, in Serralunga...

Le Coste Gambrinus 2017
When this wine was first made in 2010, it attained a cult-like status amongst wine lovers. After a long wait, we are thrilled to have received a little of the second iteration of Gambrinus. This is Aleatico from the old vineyards that usually go into...

Le Coste Nini 2020
Inspired by Clementine and Gianmarco’s time working for the great vignerons of France, this Syrah from young vines was fermented carbonically as whole bunches for three weeks before pressed off to old barrels for a year. Playful and light on its...

Jean-Yves Peron I Vicini Barbera 2019
I Vicini is Jean-Yves' négociant label, specifically when he uses grapes that make the passage over the alps from Italy. It sounds unlikely, but a glance at the map reveals that the vines in Piemonte from which this Barbera was harvested are only...

Gazzetta Rosso Trilli 2020
The latest from Gazzetta! A wonderful producer we're very fond of, and have been lucky enough to visit a couple of times just outside Orvieto, beside Lake Bolsena. Not quite a red wine, this is mostly Aleatico (a floral red grape), with a little...

Ar.Pe.Pe. Rosso di Valtellina 2020
We’re interested in wine with that all important ‘sense of place’ - if you want to really understand that term then this is a good wine to help you do so, it’s how we learned too! Valtellina is in a valley in the extreme north of...

La Stoppa Trebbiolo 2020
One of our go-to bottles when we want a decent vino de tavola to accompany a hearty feast of rich Emilia-style cuisine. There is something about the wine from this part of Italy - the savoury character, the high acidity - that makes it such a...

Cascina Iuli Rossore 2017
One of our top picks for the colder months at that sweet-spot, mid-range price point - Rossore is dark, brooding Piedmontese Barbera that sees a maturation in old barrels, adding many layers of complex cedar spice to wrap around the savoury red fruits...

Cataldo Calabretta Cirò 2017
Cirò is one of those wonderfully regionally-specific wines made with a grape called Gaglioppo that you will hardly ever find outside of Calabria. A little like Nebbiolo in the sense that it pours a pale ruby in the glass, yet impresses with...

Baglio Antico Rosso 2020
Classic Sicilian red grape Nero d'Avola, here in wonderfully expressive form and with an invitingly accessible price-tag. If you're not familiar with this staple grape of the Southerly Italian island and enjoy bold Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec then we'd...

Vini Rabasco Cancelli Rosso 2020
It’s pleasure all the way with this particularly generous Montepulciano that takes the term ‘fruit-driven’ to new levels. A real cherry-bomb explosion - red and black, sour, even in confected cherry drop form too. The juice is also...

Testalonga Dolceacqua 2017

Arianna Occhipinti SP68 Rosso 2020
Arianna's rosso version of SP68 is much more lifted and fresh than many examples of Nero d'Avola can be - the addition of Frappato giving some bright cherry crunch. Smoky, saline and with that waft of wild herbs so often to be imprinted in the DNA of...

Aldo Viola Guarini Plus 2015
How typically Italian to claim that Syrah grows better on the Island of Sicily than anywhere else in the world, particularly over its heartland in the French Rhône; but then that is Aldo Viola for you - provocative, individual and with a twinkle in...

Valfaccenda Vindabeive 2020 LITRE
Nebbiolo from their younger and less exposed vines, which produce less concentrated fruit. This just spent five days on the skins, roughly half as whole bunches, before being pressed off to cuve for just a couple of months. The wine was bottled just a...
