Tuscany
Vecchia Cantina 2023 Chianti
Fresh red berries and plum lead with a gentle floral note, while brief wood ageing adds a quiet touch of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied and balanced, with lively acidity, moderate tannins and a savoury finish. Straightforward but well shaped, it suits tomato-based pasta, grilled meats, pizza or a board of cured meats.
Collemattoni 2023 Rosso di Montalcino
Red fruit opens with violet and almond, leading into a firmly structured palate. The tannins are still youthful, but concentrated cherry carries through the finish and gives the wine a clear sense of promise. Savoury and composed, it has enough depth for roast pork, grilled mushrooms or tomato-rich pasta, and will reward a little air before serving.
Fattoria La Vialla 2021 Casa Conforto Chianti Superiore
Dried berry and baked strawberry open into a concentrated, savoury palate. Earth and warm spice bring depth, while a measured oak note adds structure and a gently rustic edge. The fruit stays present through the finish, giving the wine enough richness for the table without losing its firm Tuscan character. Serve with braised lamb, tomato-based pasta or aged pecorino.
