The Carbone family, based in Melfi near Mount Vulture in the heart of Basilicata, values their unique terroir which is rich in volcanic soil. Situated on the slopes of the ancient volcano, their vineyards benefit from an ideal aspect. Coupled with an optimal microclimate that's marked by significant temperature variations, this setting imbues Aglianico with its unique character that's deeply rooted in the region. Luca and Sara have carried on the winemaking tradition since 1974, prioritizing continuity and terroir expression. Their philosophy centres on the fertile land of Mount Vulture, respecting organic vineyard rhythms and employing modern cellar techniques to maintain the wine's character. Teaming up with oenologist Sergio Paternoster, they create authentic wines that mirror the region's history and vibrant essence.

Aglianico is a wonderful grape variety – sometimes referred to as the 'Nebbiolo of the South'. This rendition exudes fragrant herbal notes, sweet & savoury spices and hints of dried black fruits. Robust and full-bodied on the palate, the tannins maintain their classic firmness but are finely polished, complemented by well-judged acidity. In addition to the baked fruits, there's a subtle smoky black tapenade nuance that enhances the fruit character. The wine concludes with remarkable length, underscoring its complexity and hidden gem status.

While showing nicely now, this style may benefit from moderate aeration before drinking. The big tannic structure will be a solid match with mature, firm cheeses and roasts or braised meats. For those who prefer a softer style, leave this bottle to rest in the cellar and return to it in the next 5 years.

Established in 1925 in the Lambrusco region's core, Cantine Lombardini remains in Novellara's historic centre. Originally founded by Angelo Lombardini, the family's entrepreneurial endeavours eventually grew to include winemaking, along with a whole host of other business pursuits. The wine cellar weathered wars and successive generations, serving as a tangible testament to the family's enduring history. Their legacy continues to thrive today, under the direction of current proprietor Marco Lombardini, spreading Lambrusco's fame nationally and internationally.

This wine presents delicate notes of wild strawberries intertwined with a refreshing tang of pink grapefruit, lending vibrant citrus zest to the nose. Subtle undertones of violet add an aromatic floral component, enhancing the complexity. On the palate, it delivers pronounced freshness accompanied by bright red berry fruit flavours. Its elegance shines with every sip offering a harmonious balance of flavours and pleasantly refined character.

In 2005 three fellows born & raised among the vineyards of the Langhe - Gianmatteo 'Jimmy' Raineri, Fabrizio Giraudo, and Luciano Racca - started Raineri Winery. This was meant to be a small project focused on the production of Dolcetto from the famous Dogliani area, however, the friend's passion and respect for wine and its cultural tradition in the region pushed them to expand shortly after inception. Along with Dolcetto, they craft Barbera, Nebbiolo and even Barolo from vineyards located in Monforte d’Alba. With the help of their families, and generous advice from wise producers, they were able to fulfill their dream of making classic wines of Piedmont.

The wines are shaped under a guiding, shared philosophy. Manual work for absolute care of each grapevine; wine let to age in barrels made with only the best oak; and daily barrel sampling to learn and engage in the wine's evolution.

Scents of red cherries and wild strawberries unwind at the onset, giving way to hints of undergrowth and dried lavender. Dry on the palate with medium weight and lightly building tannins that pull this wine together into an easy-drinking and approachable style. Vivid acidity invigorates the red berry and savoury herbal flavours, allowing them to extend into the pleasing finish. 

Thanks to Dolcetto's medium body and moderate tannins, it creates wines that are easily adapted to most cuisine. Its lightly savoury streak will be a great match for foods seasoned with fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary. This is a great every day sipper and will work well alongside lighter fare as well as grilled meats.

A breakout star in the Etna DOC of Sicily, Tornatore has become one of the region's largest and most respected wineries. Established back in 1865, the estate continues to be run by the same family who have acted as the faithful custodians of the land for generations. Tending to high altitude vineyards on the north side of the active volcano, the conditions are ideal for indigenous grape varieties to thrive. The wines are distinctive bottlings which encapsulate the essence of Mount Etna and effortlessly reveal the unique characteristics that make the region one to watch.

Etna Rosso is the signature style red of the area, made from local Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes. Bright ruby in the glass revealing aromas of red berries and morello cherries overlayed with sweet and savoury spices. Tannins glide over the deceptively weighted palate and interweave with brightly supported fruit notes of wild strawberries and delicate florals. Refreshing acidity keeps the fruit from feeling heavy, and rather lends itself to to this elegant and uplifting style.

Etna Rosso is highly food friendly and versatile by nature making it a clever alternative with many food pairings. Tomato sauces are a natural match for this wine; but it also shines alongside roasted meats, sausages, and oily fish like smoked sardines.

At the beginning of the 1900’s the Nuti family bought a small plot of land in a locality known as “La Regola”, in the town of Riparbella, (a place name found in the Florence land register dating back to the 1700’s), to produce a small amount of olive oil and wine for family consumption. From the small cellar under the house, which was called "cillieri", the first production of the "La Regola"  was born. After three generations in 1990, Luca the eldest son, obtained a degree in agriculture, deciding to transform the small family wine production into a company structured winery and began to plant other vineyards and market the first bottles.

In addition to the cultivation of native vines such as Sangiovese and Vermentino, the company has added French white and red grape vines to their production, among which Cabernet Franc is a stand out. This Tuscan blend offers an inviting nose of vanilla and currents opening into a very berry-driven palate with extended notes of  blackberries, dark cherries and figs. The wine closes with notes of dried herbs and ground coffee, sculpted by building tannins. 

Pour this alongside roasted red meats, Fiorentina steak and aged cheeses (4-6 yrs).
