Graceful and composed, it suits roast lamb, steak or mushroom dishes.
Ampeleia 2019 Carignano Toscana IGT
Fine floral aromas lead into ripe red and black berries, pomegranate and salty Mediterranean herbs.

Thyme and fennel add savoury detail, while fine tannins keep the finish fresh, precise and quietly persistent.
Argiano 2020 Solengo Toscana IGT
Dark and polished on the nose, with blackberry, black olive, wet stone, earth and violet. The palate layers sweeter berry fruit over a persistent metallic mineral line, building depth without losing definition. Powerful tannins and lively acidity give the wine firm structure, while chilli chocolate marks the long, savoury finish.
Tunella 2020 Pinot Nero Friuli Colli Orientali DOC
Intense ruby in the glass, opening with fragrant raspberry, strawberry and wild berries, followed by a light herbal lift.

Bright red fruit carries cleanly through the poised, easy-flowing finish.
Mauro Sebaste 2016 Ghè Barolo Riserva DOCG

Mauro Sebaste 2020 Casa Berzia Diano d’Alba DOCG

A characteristic bitter-almond note emerges on the clean finish, giving the wine a distinctly savoury close.
Planeta 2021 Etna Rosso DOC
Sour cherry and wild strawberry lead, with violet, vanilla and cracked pepper adding lift. Fleshy and smooth on entry, the palate gains savoury definition from rhubarb, iron and a light earthy note.

Dei 2021 Rosso di Montepulciano DOC
Marengo 2020 Vigna Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC

Dark fruit, blackcurrant and spice lead an earthy, mineral-driven profile, with cherries and black tea adding depth.

Oreste Stefano 2015 Perno Barolo Riserva DOCG

Azelia 2017 Barolo Margheria
Scorched earth opens the nose before toasted hazelnut, forest floor, dried herbs and a faint floral note emerge. Full-bodied yet elegant, the palate brings cranberry, star anise and orange zest into focus. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins provide structure, while a saline edge lengthens the finish and rewards patient cellaring.
La Ginestra 2020 Lea
Wild cherry and crushed blackberry lead the nose, joined by forest floor, dried herbs and black pepper. The palate is lively and energetic, with smooth texture, clear structure and an appealing rustic edge. Fresh fruit remains at the centre through a clean finish, without the weight of pronounced oak.
Fattoria La Vialla 2013 Casa Conforto Chianti Riserva
Mature and savoury, with wild cherry and blackberry joined by violet, cedar and star anise. The palate is dry and firmly structured, yet the fruit remains clear through the tannic frame. Earthy spice and gentle oak carry into a composed, lingering finish. Decant briefly and serve with roast lamb, grilled beef, mushroom ragù or aged pecorino.
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. Medium-full on the palate, it balances bright acidity with firm, well-integrated tannins. Red currant, dried herbs and savoury spice lead into a long, mineral-edged finish.
Paternoster 2013 Don Anselmo Aglianico del Vulture DOC
Bright, deep ruby in colour, with red fruit, leather, balsamic herbs and dark spice on a broad, complex nose.

Luigi Righetti 2019 Campo Tordi Corvina Veneto IGT
Bright red cherry leads a fresh, fruit-driven nose. The palate is light and easy in shape, with gentle tannins and balanced acidity keeping the fruit lively. A subtle bitter-almond note appears on the clean finish, giving this stainless-steel-fermented expression a savoury edge and an especially refreshing feel.
Gaja 2011 Ca’Marcanda Camarcanda Bolgheri
Sun-warmed blackberry and plum lead a dark, generous profile, with soft tannins giving the palate a plush, rounded feel. Concentrated fruit is balanced by a firmer tannic edge that brings shape and persistence. Mature and composed, it benefits from decanting and suits roast lamb, braised beef or aged cheese.
Diego Conterno 2023 Ferrione Barbera d’Alba
Lively red fruit and plum open with warm spice, giving way to a fresh, medium-bodied palate.

Cavallotto 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis
Earthy and smoky at first, opening into dark cherry, blood orange and dried fruit. Firm acidity and tightly knit tannins give the palate a powerful, classical frame, while concentrated fruit carries through the middle and into a focused, persistent finish. Still youthful and structured, this will reward decanting or further cellar time. Serve with braised beef, game, truffle dishes or aged cheese.
