San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo IGT 2020

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Chianti Classico

The organic San Giusto a Rentennano 2020 Percarlo is born in a vintage of power, concentration and dark fruit flavors. All of these elements are delivered here, and as always, the wine shows impeccable Sangiovese balance with a spotlight on primary fruit, integrated tannins and bright acidity. The alcohol is high at 15%. In fact, the wine tastes young, and that's not something you can say of most of the other releases from the 2020 vintage. This expression, however, still holds back just a bit a

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo 2018

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello. The 2018 M8 is a blend of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte & Serralunga fruit! "Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Lifted, perfumed red fruit of great appeal with complex, minty oak notes. A mouthful of juicy cherry fruit with supple acidity and fantastic, crunchy tannins. Freshness and bite combined with elegance. Hugely appealing."Walter Speller, Jancis

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Regnard’ 2020

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Regnard (négoce) bursts with aromas of plums, peonies, warm spices and soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's charming and vibrant, with powdery tannins and a long, sapid finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 89-91 Points

The 2020 Martinenga is a fabulous introduction to the Cru, tasting a range of wines from 2013 to 2021 in one sitting highlighted just how high the base level quality is across the range from Marchesi di Gresy. 2020 is drinking beautifully out of the gate, taste alone, with food and 24 hours later it shone at each stage. The 2020 has an immediate approachability, plush fine and just delicious with elegance and perfume to match. Absolute pleasure to watch this blossom over a couple of days. Delici

Delicious! Divine sophisticated fruit with an impeccable acid tannin complex. Dark and fresh cherry layered with a complex array of flavours. Super refined, slatey, mineral elements. Seamless & harmonious.  The finest licorice ~ tar ~ fennel ~ tea & tobacco blended with a spritz of blood orange. Perfectly dialled in. Vibrant and energetic with savoury layers and a lacing of flowers. Sheer, with excellent depth and length. A complete wine.Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Jun 2025Alway

Layers of tannin and flavour, great complexity. I love this! The most ‘Burgundian’ of these 8 cru, shimmering and transparent, signalling the elegance and finesse to unfold. A beautiful and intriguing wine with those Castiglione complexities of cranberry, strawberry, cherry-skin, dried flowers and herbs. Tannins are beautifully b
