Red
Le Cecche 2017 Fiammingo Langhe
A structured and expressive Langhe blend showing lifted aromas of red cherry, dried raspberry, and plum layered with notes of spice, cedar, and subtle earth. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with firm Nebbiolo-driven tannins balanced by Merlot’s roundness, offering a savoury core of dark fruit, tobacco, and a touch of oak. Complex yet approachable with air, finishing long and gently spiced. Well suited to hearty dishes like braised meats or lamb.
Croix Bonelle 2019 Saint-Emilion
Champ Du Moulin 2019 Bdx Superieur
50% Merlot | 50% Cabernet Sauvignon
Family-owned and certified organic since 2013. A seductive red, the nose offers enticing fruit-filled aromas. Look for plum and blackberry, savoury herb and subtle oak spice finishing with ripe tannins. Needs a bit of cellar time, but showing quite beautifully now!
Collemattoni 2023 Rosso Di Montalcino
92 Points Vinous: One of our favourites…pure, delicious Sangiovese from a classic Brunello producer. Meaty, smoky, dense and tannic with aromas and flavours of dried cherries, earth and violets. On the palate, it is dense and broad with flavours of cherry, earth and that telltale Montalcino terroir. With all the hallmarks of Montalcino, and very well made, it represents fantastic value.
COLLEMATTONI IS CERTIFIED ORGANIC
Saint Desirat 2022 Syrah
100% Syrah. Sustainably Farmed. Lots of characteristic Northern Rhone black pepper spice and savoury complexity. Sourced from vineyards just outside Saint-Joseph, hence the great price.
It's done in a juicy style, offering sappy spice-laced berry flavours on the palate. The spicy note recurs on the long, smooth finish. An exceptional value that is drinking superbly now.
Reverdito 2020 Barolo
A classically styled Barolo showing lifted aromas of sour cherry, dried strawberry, rose petal, and violet layered with hints of tar, licorice, and sweet spice. The palate is structured and linear, with firm but refined tannins framing pure red fruit, orange peel, and subtle earthy undertones carried by vibrant acidity. Youthful and tightly coiled in its current state, finishing long and savoury with mineral grip and the clear promise of graceful evolution in bottle.
Padro & Co Rojo Amargo
Grand Verdus 2018 Essentiel Natural
Escaravailles 2021 Sablieres Cdr
A classic Southern Rhône red showing expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and ripe plum layered with garrigue herbs, peppery spice, and a hint of licorice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with supple but present tannins, juicy dark fruit, and a savoury undercurrent shaped by warm Mediterranean sun and stony soils. Generous yet balanced, finishing long and gently rustic with lingering black fruit, dried herbs, and spice.
Reverdito 2016 Barolo Ascheri
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.
