Our Barbera d'Alba Superiore is made from Barbera grapes grown on our own vineyards. These vineyards are planted on Helvetian soil, which lends structure and elegance, enhanced by approximately one year of aging in wood. The color is an intense ruby red, tending towards violet and purple. On the nose, it offers vinous aromas of red and black fruits such as cherry, plum, and blackberry. The palate is full and robust, with a pleasant flavor of typical red and black fruits and a pleasant sensation

L’Aietta Rosso di Montalcino 2022

About L’Aietta – The Artist L’Aietta started in 2001, when I was still in high school. I discovered that the place where I had been going on Sundays with my family and friends to have picnics and barbecues,that had not only olive trees and a few vines, but these vines (more or less 1000 square […]

A vibrant, energetic core of long even fruit layered and complex, particularly for a wine at this price point. A fine fragrance, and delicate perfume entance. Sophistication tannins and playful cleansing edge and a little spice. It will certainly benefit from a day open or an early decant in its youth. Juicy, thirst-quenching and simply delicious. Plenty more to come from a very, very good wine!Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Sept 2024The 2022 Rully du Clos de Bellecroix Cuvée Marey comes f

Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

Such a comforting wine, easy, flowing, grape first with salty blood and blood orange around vibrant fruit. Well made and composed. Fruit and tannins weighted nicely. Approachable now but will undoubtedly offer much more with a few years in bottle. For the coin this sits in a great spot!Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Sept 2024The Giuseppe Cortese 2020 Barbaresco delivers aromas of crushed rose, redcurrant, licorice and camphor ash.

Fontodi Chiant Classico 2019

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Chianti Classico

The thirst-quenching nature combined with great intensity and personality draws you in!  More elegance than 18 looking good. Refined fun. With lovely red fruits, earthy, savoury with a little herbal pop. Pretty bloody serious Sangiovese for the coin. A very clever layer of oak in this. Complex with fine tannins with a slight build to mid-palate that’s going to work beautifully with loads of food. This should be very interesting with 5-10 years of age on it.

Yabby Lake Block 6 Pinot Noir 2015
Cellar it for a couple of years!

Yabby Lake Block 6 Pinot Noir 2015

Pinot Noir | Victoria, Australia

Brooding with Sour Cherry and Dark Fruit. Kinda the child to Block 1 and Block 2 It's got some edgy tannin and extraction on one hand from the Pommard clone of Pinot. On the other it's got concentration and oppulence from the MV6 clone. Really want to see this wine in another 12-24 months.

José Gil Vino de Pueblo San Vincente 2021

Red Blend | Spain, La Rioja

A great example of the new Rioja! Grape first focused on exceptional vineyards from a clearly defined village. Much to explore flowers, spice, woody herbs, darkness, earthy and savoury notes with an enticing array of fruits.On release, it needs a good decant and some patience and will be better on the second day as its youthful exuberance resolves. Plush, fine grape tannins mingle with the dark and red fruit combined with refreshing acidity to offer up a playful mouthfeel. Refreshing, there

La Ca’ Növa Barbaresco 2022

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2022 Barbaresco is superb. Deep and layered, the 2022 offers an explosion of red-toned Nebbiolo fruit intermingled with floral and spice overtones. This succulent, generous Barbaresco will be easy to drink and enjoy on release. Like all the 2022s here, the Barbaresco is open-knit and also impeccably balanced.

One of Italy’s great value red wines, the Barbera d’Alba ‘Casa Vinicola’ is an expression of Barbera fruit sourced from around the Barolo and Barbaresco sub-regions. This is one of the longest standing labels in Giacosa’s stable having first been produced in 1969, just after the first Barolos and Barbarescos of the mid-60’s. These days it is a refreshing red that shows the ripe red berries of great Barberas from Alba, alongside notably sinewy tannins and a good mineral core.

I thought Bouland, Thivin & Foillard were good! Judging by the not so 'standard' Côte du Py and the 'James' from 2018, this will be stunning.The cuvée Javernières is produced from a 0.5 hectares parcel with clay soils, it will charm you with its elegance, finesse. It makes for a fascinating comparison with the James, a blend of several of the domain greatest terroirs, that develops serious complexity with age.

“The most powerful wine in the range is the 2019 Moulin-à-Vent Le Plantier de Favre, a rich and ripe cuvée that wafts from the glass with notes of cherries, rose petals and blackberries, framed by a subtle patina from its élevage in used oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with an ample mid-palate and succulent acids, it's fleshy and enveloping, concluding with an expansive finish.” William Kelly, The Wine Advocate
