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.
Reverdito 2016 Barolo Bricco
A structured and aromatic expression of Nebbiolo, showing lifted notes of red cherry, rose petal, and wild strawberry layered with licorice, tar, and subtle dried herbs. The palate is firm and linear, with fine but assertive tannins supporting a core of pure red fruit and savoury mineral drive. Classic and age-worthy in style, finishing long and focused with floral lift and earthy persistence.
Antinori Tignanello 2020
Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2020 is a benchmark Toscana IGT, made chiefly from Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Ripe cherry, blackberry, violet, tobacco, cedar and sweet spice rise from the glass, followed by a polished palate of dark fruit, cocoa and savoury herbs.
Concentrated yet energetic, it combines vivid acidity with fine-grained tannins and well-integrated oak. Long, refined and built to develop, it is a natural match for steak, lamb and richly flavoured Italian dishes.
