Mediterranean herbs lead a clear, aromatic nose, with sage, marjoram and oregano joined by lemongrass and citrus peel. Dog rose and iris add a delicate floral note, while nutmeg and cardamom bring quiet spice. The palate is fresh and extra dry, balancing lively acidity with a fine, persistent bitterness. A clean citrus finish keeps the profile precise. Serve well chilled, over ice, or use it as the dry vermouth in a Gin Martini.
Ezio Poggio 2018 Archetipo Timorasso
Freshly cut stone fruit and lemon meet a pronounced saline, stony mineral line.

Concentrated without heaviness, it is well suited to roast poultry, firm fish, risotto or aged cheese.
Castello di Perno 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo
Savoury, woodland and autumnal aromas open slowly, joined by florals, sliced orange and a balsamic lift.

Santa Vittoria 2017 Barolo DOCG
Clear garnet with a brick-toned rim, opening on dried cherry, rose petal and tar, followed by leather, sweet tobacco, forest floor and anise.

Cordero di Montezemolo 2024 Langhe Arneis
Apricot and soft floral notes lead a bright straw-coloured white with a clean, dry profile. The palate is crisp and straightforward, with enough freshness to keep the finish lively and precise.

Le Cecche 2019 Nebbiolo d’Alba
Blueberry leads a firm, classically styled profile, with a refined edge emerging once the wine has had time to breathe. The palate is dry and distinctly tannic, showing more restraint than richness. Decant briefly to let the structure settle, then serve with braised beef, lamb, mushroom ragu or aged hard cheese, where its grip will feel most at home.
Rocco di Carpeneto 2019 Losna 750 mL
Black cherry and plum lead a deep, savoury profile, followed by liquorice, tobacco and a dark raisined note edged with cocoa.

Extended maceration and time in older barrels lend depth without obvious sweetness. Pair with braised beef, game, rich pasta or aged hard cheese.

Cellario E! Grino Grignolino Piedmont 1 L
Pale ruby and lightly framed, with bright red fruit, gentle spice and a quiet earthy-mineral note.

Bottled unfiltered, it works equally well lightly cool as an aperitif or alongside a relaxed meal.
Cascina Tavijn 2019 Teresa Ruchè Rosso

Adriano 2021 Barbera d’Alba DOC Renzo
