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 […]

Massolino Barolo 2017
$100.00The 2017 Barolo is a gorgeous, harmonious wine. In this vintage, the straight Barolo is a bit lighter than normal, as most wines are, but it is so impeccably balanced. Pliant and inviting, the 2017 will be pleasurable to drink in another year or two. The purity of the flavors is just striking. Red berry […]

Fletcher Barbaresco Recta Pete DOCG 2019

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, […]

Badia a Coltibuono Cultusboni Cetamura Chianti 2020
$38.00All of Badia a Coltibuono’s Chiantis share the same DNA and it is evident throughout all the wines. Classic, poised and balanced. Certainly the softest, plumpest and fruit driven of the three releases, with less tertiary elements.

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

Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino 2019

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 […]

$90.00Sangiovese as Burgundy. Lifted aromatics of red and dark cherry, dried cranberry, raspberry, lavender, geranium and sage. Expansive palate, with an almost effortless poise. Medium bodied, vivid, the tannins absorbed by the longer wood ageing, making them longer, sculptural and melting. Wonderful interplay of fresh, crunchy red fruits, earth, herbs, spice and flowers.

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. Like so many Italian varieties, you can never be to0 sure what you’re going to get. Great producers however, know who and what they are and the 2018 is magisterial. In fact I […]

Luciano Sandrone Dolcetto d’Alba 2019

Josetta Saffirio Barbera d’Alba Superiore 2018

Albino Rocca Barbaresco Ronchi 2017
$130.00This famous, limestone-rich, Barbaresco Cru runs along the southern belt of the appellation, near the town itself. The Rocca cellars are located just above this southeast-facing vineyard—one of the reasons the site has become synonymous with the name Albino Rocca.

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 […]
