Giordano Lombardo 2022 Gavi Di Gavi
Elena Italian Gin
Elena Italian gin is a spirit of regional provenance and features native botanicals from the Italian Alps of Piedmont including juniper berries, almonds, Langhe thyme, coriander seeds, black elderflower, Angelica, wild mint, chamomile, cassia bark, and the peel and flowers of organically-grown citrus fruits from the Ligurian hills bordering Piedmont. Juniper dominates the profile here. The palate is silky yet weightless.
Li Veli 2022 Susumaniello Garrisa
Vecchia Cantina 2022 Chianti
Beautiful ruby red colour with a slight violet hue. The nose is alive with pronounced notes of red berries while the medium-bodied palate is fruity, harmonious and persistent. Finishes long and with great weight. This food-friendly Chianti is a perfect match for savoury appetizers, cured meats and barbecue.
Collemattoni 2018 Brunello Di Montal
100% Sangiovese
92 Points Vinous: “Bright, deep red. Red cherry, sweet spices and smoky oak on the enticing nose. Strong soil tones complement musky spice, sweet pipe tobacco, and red fruit flavors. Finishes creamy, tactile and long, with polished tannins. Made from Sangiovese grown in vineyards located in all four of the major quadrants of the Montalcino production zone, which allowed owner Adon Bucci to make a highly balanced wine”.

Collemattoni 2019/21 Rosso Di Montalcino
92 Points Vinous: One of our favourites…pure, delicious Sangiovese from a classic Brunello producer. Meaty, smoky, dense and tannic with aromas and flavours of dried cherries, earth and violets. On the palate, it is dense and broad with flavours of cherry, earth and that telltale Montalcino terroir. With all the hallmarks of Montalcino, and very well made, it represents fantastic value.

Antonio Scala 2021 Ciro Rosato
One of the most interesting pink wines we’ve come across. 100% Gaglioppo from 30 year old vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district), with a south/south-east exposure – sand and clay soil. Juicy, spicy and ripe, it offers a delightful nose of red cherry, raspberry and aromatic herbs. Finishes long and mineral with a mouth-watering a sweet and sour tang.
An outstanding Rosato showcasing just how suited Gaglioppo is to making pink wines.
Reverdito 2021 Barbera D’Alba
Reverdito 2023 Langhe Nascetta
La Rivolta 2022 Coda Di Volpe Taburno
93 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”
