2020
Fornacina 2020 Brunello di Montalcino 750 mL
Blood orange and currant lead the documented profile, followed by tar, leather, toasted and spicy hints. The wine is made entirely from Sangiovese, harvested from September into October. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel with long maceration and traditional pumpovers. After malolactic conversion, the wine spends at least two years in large Slavonian oak.
Piero Busso Gallina 2020 Barbaresco 750 mL
Clear ruby in colour, with cranberry, pomegranate and rosewood forming a vivid, finely drawn bouquet. The palate is juicy and energetic, its red-berry fruit carried by fresh acidity and finely woven tannins. A light saline note adds precision as the wine expands across the tongue. The structure is firm but polished, allowing the fruit to remain clear. It finishes long and savoury, with red berries, mineral detail and measured grip.
Brancaia Il Blu 2020 Toscana IGT 1.5 L
Currant, violet and cocoa shape an expressive, polished nose. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with wild berries bringing freshness through the centre. Firm tannins are creamy rather than coarse, giving the wine structure while preserving a smooth, composed texture. Subtle oak and dark chocolate tones sit behind the fruit, and the finish is rich and persistent, carrying sweet currant and savoury depth in measured balance.
Domaine Ponsot Clos des Monts Luisants Vieilles Vignes 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Blanc 750 mL
Pale yellow-green in colour, opening with peach, crisp apple and lemon zest. Honeydew and a light floral note sit above wet stone and restrained savoury spice. The palate is fresh and precise, with high acidity shaping a medium-bodied, lightly creamy texture. Citrus and orchard fruit remain clear through the finish, joined by mineral tension and a subtle honeyed accent that adds breadth without reducing the wine's energy.
Frédéric Savart La Moufle 2020 Les Mesneux Premier Cru Extra Brut Champagne 750 mL
Dried pear and bright citrus lead into ginger, sage and dried flowers, with a fine creamy touch beneath the fruit. The palate is tense and energetic, its Meunier-led core cut by saline minerality and chalky precision. Spice and menthol bring lift as the wine opens, while restrained dosage keeps the finish dry and focused. Balanced, pure and persistent, it closes with savoury mineral detail.
