Fletcher Barbaresco Recta Pete DOCG 2018
$75.00Right from the early days of drinking wines from the Langhe, we always tend to gravitate to Barbaresco. Elegance, drinkability, finesse and value for money.

La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo 2018
$54.00Giorgio Rivetti is very proud of this wine and his work in this classic, slightly cool vintage. The La Spinetta 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo offers dark tones and bright fruit definition with forest berry, wild rose and cedar wood. I actually tasted some ripeness and softness in this wine, which adds to its immediate and universal […]

Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino 2019
$57.00A wine to keep you company. Served from a decanter, totally expressive and open. Cassis, blackberry, cherry thyme and star anise exude a depth of presence that would warm the cockles of the most discerning Brunello drinker. Full bodied, but not heavy. There’s a lightness of touch in the bright and vivid fruit. Some earthy […]

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2018
$54.00Good 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 […]

Josetta Saffirio Barolo DOCG 2016
$95.00Is there a more pure Barolo than this? It has the flavour of Barolo, with the finesse and lingering nuance of Barbaresco. Incredibly complex nose of clove, lavender, aniseed, roses and red fruit compote. Prettiness never had such presence. Full, supple and round in the mouth, the flavours and textures woven. Amplitude, that sings louder […]

Albino Rocca Dolcetto d’Alba 2019
$36.00Albino Rocca’s Dolcetto d’Alba is drawn from a single vineyard in Barbaresco, a very serious location with a first-rate, east to south-east exposure for the most part. The vines are 30-40 years old, and thanks to their maturity and the sensible yields they offer, this wine displays more intensity and texture than many a garden-variety […]
