Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2019
$60.00Morello cherry, lavender, plum, tobacco leaf, sandalwood and blood orange aromatics. Medium bodied and refined, a very well balanced Chianti Classico that is nonetheless branded with powdery, skinsy tannins. Terrific volume of fruit, plush and sensual mouthfeel and piquant acidity that is as sculptural as it is moreish. One of the best Classisco’s we’ve tasted […]

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2019
$55.00Good chianti can be hard to find, often light and raw or over oaked and bigger than a Barossa shiraz. Isole e Olena’s Chianti are none of those things! Crimson in colour with sour cherry and bramble notes. The palate has a subtle, lithe character full of perfumed fruit and is given depth by a […]

Fletcher Barbaresco Recta Pete DOCG 2019
$85.00Right from the early days of drinking wines from the Langhe, we always tend to gravitate to Barbaresco. Elegance, drinkability, finesse and value for money. Barbaresco is also the more consistent. Fletcher’s rendition is very classic, a model of the region in fact. Red fruits, cut flowers, savoury spice and kirsch lead onto a sleek, […]

The La Spinetta 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo offers dark tones and bright fruit definition with forest berry, wild rose and cedar wood.

Fontodi Chianti Classico 2018
$85.00I always find Fontodi’s Chianti Classico to have impressive amplitude and weight, especially when you consider some of the skinny versions available.

Josetta Saffirio Barbera d’Alba Superiore 2018
