The Cortonesi family has been a cornerstone of the Montalcino region for decades. Established in the 1970s, their estate spans 138 acres in one of the area's most storied regions, with 19 acres dedicated to producing world-class Brunello. The family began commercially selling their wine in 1985, and today, third-generation winemaker Tommaso Cortonesi continues the tradition. Tommaso combines his long-standing family traditions with modern technologies to craft some of the finest expressions of Tuscan Sangiovese. 

This is a beautifully expressive Brunello from an outstanding vintage, now confidently hitting its stride. The nose is vibrant and layered, with classic aromas of spiced licorice and red cherry, complemented by subtle notes of fresh rosemary, cedar, and dried flowers. On the palate, it offers full weight and a smooth, seamless texture, with fine-grained tannins woven through a warm, elegant core of dried fruit. Rich and juicy, it showcases the signature succulence and length of Montalcino, with the structure and finesse to continue evolving gracefully for years to come.

Pair Brunello with bold, flavourful dishes such as oxtail, a nicely cooked steak, rich stews, or game served with mushroom-based sauces.

Heirloom Vineyards was born in the 2000 vintage, when a young winemaking student caught the attention of an experienced wine judge—an unexpected spark that grew into a shared vision. Together, they made two enduring commitments: to honour the best of old-world tradition and the heritage of their cherished vineyards, and to champion superior clones of each variety planted in the most suitable sites, all while embracing organic farming principles. After seven patient vintages of experimentation, refinement, and unwavering dedication, they finally crafted a wine worthy of being passed on to future generations. This is that wine.

A lifted bouquet of mulberry, cassis, and ripe blackberries opens the nose, followed by shades of dried tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. The palate is marked by a striking balance of dark berry freshness and a meticulously structured tannin frame. Subtle oak notes of sarsaparilla complement bright spearmint accents, all dovetailing seamlessly into a long, sapid finish.

Given this wine’s structure, it shines alongside richly textured, succulent meats. Think pork ribs, a classic Scotch fillet, or a high-quality butcher’s sausage - always a fine match for Cab Sauv.

Founded in 1974 by Valentino Migliorini, a Michelin-starred restaurateur with a visionary approach to winemaking, Rocche dei Manzoni quickly became a pioneer in the Langhe. Valentino introduced groundbreaking innovations such as the first Nebbiolo-Barbera blend (Bricco Manzoni), the use of small oak barrels, and traditional method sparkling wines—well ahead of his time. Today, under the direction of his son Rodolfo, the estate continues its legacy of experimentation and precision, producing acclaimed Barolo, innovative blends, and sparkling wines that showcase both tradition and forward-thinking spirit.

The Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia project began in 1998 with the purchase of this historic Monforte d’Alba vineyard. Under Rodolfo's careful stewardship and commitment to the sustainable Green Experience program, the estate crafts two Barolos of authentic character from this single site: Barolo Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia DOCG, first released in 2016 to critical acclaim, and Barolo Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia Riserva DOCG, produced only in exceptional vintages.

Rich and expansive on the nose, with layers of dried flowers, spice, wet earth, and dark chocolate. The palate is powerful yet refined, showing remarkable balance between depth and elegance. Velvety tannins and lively acidity carry the wine with grace, leading to a long, persistent finish that highlights its complexity and finesse - a true expression of Barolo Riserva at its finest.

A must have for every cellar - Expected storage lifetime 35/40 years.

Bodegas y Viñedos Valderiz is rooted in generations of vineyard work by the Esteban family in Roa, at the heart of Ribera del Duero. After years of cultivating vines first tended by their father, Tomás, and grandfather, brothers Juan and Ricardo Esteban transformed the family’s legacy into a modern winery. Founded in 1980 when Tomás dedicated himself fully to viticulture, the estate initially sold its grapes to other producers. By 1997, recognizing the exceptional quality of their fruit, the family began crafting and marketing their own wines. With a focus on drastically reducing yields to enhance character, Valderiz has built its reputation on meticulous vineyard care and a commitment to expressing the region’s terroir.

Primarily Tempranillo with a touch of Albillo for aromatic lift, this flagship wine spends two years in French oak (half new). Plush and velvety, it layers ripe baked cherry and espresso with hints of licorice, spice, and graphite. Concentrated yet balanced by fresh acidity, the fruit is framed by fine oak nuances, leading to a polished, enduring finish.

This wine’s tannins will balance beautifully with slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth meats.

The story of Sanlorenzo begins in the late 19th century, when Lorenzo Ferretti settled in Rogarelli, southwest of Montalcino, and started a family that would remain tied to the land for generations. In 1950, his son Guido purchased neighbouring land from the Argiano estate, naming it SanLorenzo in his grandfather’s honour. Life in the countryside was challenging, but Guido’s son Bramante and his wife Adele chose to stay, sustaining the farm through livestock, olive trees, and a small vineyard for family use. A turning point came in the 1970s, when Fiorella, Bramante’s daughter, and her husband Paolo planted new vineyards alongside modern livestock operations, selling grapes to other wineries. In 1997, their son Luciano returned to SanLorenzo, inspired by Montalcino’s wine boom, and transformed the farm into a dedicated winery. Five hectares of vineyards were planted, the first vintage was released in 2003, and the family legacy continues today under the stewardship of Luciano and his sister Luciana.

From the best of SanLorenzo’s grapes and the perfect blend of land, vine and winery comes Brunello di Montalcino; great elegance and intensity capable of bringing out the best in itself over time. Vinified in steel casks, it's then aged in wooden casks for more than 2 years and then bottled and left to rest for another 4 months. The 2020 offers a complex bouquet of dried flowers, spices, and ripe fruit, with a deep garnet colour, firm yet refined tannins, and a long, satisfying finish. 

Pairs beautifully with game, Fiorentina and Tagliata steaks, as well as aged pecorino cheese.
