Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2018
Allegrini’s take on the “Ripasso” method is made from a portion of grapes dried just for this wine (and not from the Amarone pomace). It's a smooth, velvety wine with ripe, juicy dark fruit and silky tannins.

In the vineyard: Sangiovese 88% and Canaiolo 12%, the soils are mainly composed of marl and alberese with a smaller percentage of boulder and sandstone. The 2021 vintage followed a regular trend. The winter was generally dry, with temperatures close to the seasonal average.
Intense and generous red blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre, Vacqueyras is often referred to as a sibling of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with its rich black fruit and white pepper characters.
Appearance: deep garnet hue. Nose: intense and generous with notes of black fruit (black cherry and blackberry), and then spicy touches (white pepper).
SAVE 20% on this gorgeous Fleurie from Louis Jadot's Chateau des Jacques.
Rich and generous with lovely juicy fruit balanced with finely grained tannins and fresh acidity. A vibrant wine.
Ripe, fleshy, right-bank Bordeaux made from a one hectare plot of 40 year old vine Merlot situated in the commune of Montagne-Saint-Emilion. Aromas of sweet red berries, blackcurrant, liquorice and cedary-spices.
Round and delicate wine bursting with strawberry and raspberry characters and notes of peonies – a typical Brouilly from pink granite soil vineyards.
These vines are located at an altitude of around 250 m at the foot of the Corton hill. The slope is gentle and faces south in Les Chagnots, and south-east in Les Chaillots and Les Vris. Vines planted on fertile, well-drained soil which encourages early ripening of the grapes.
The Premier Cru les Serpentières is located a stone's throw from Savigny-lès-Beaune , on the south-facing slope of the valley which moves away from the Corton hill. The gently sloping terroir, facing south, limestone and very stony, is a setting for Pinot Noir .
This multi-vintage wine has a dark ruby red colour. The nose is elegant with a charming bouquet of juicy berries, dark cherries and plums. The toasty aromas following extended maturation in oak are well integrated. On the palate, the wine has a well-balanced tannic structure and a silky texture.
*All prices in bond* 86-87 Points Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Mid red. A pretty floral red fruit, elegant and with charm, in the style of typical Pernand. Attractively perfumed on the palate too, light tannins, an agreeable lighter red for summer drinking.
95 points, Monica Larner, the Wine Advocate “This wine always stands out in my mind, and it's worth dedicating a few words as to why.
The Fonterutoli estate is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico DOC in Tuscany and has remained in the same family for 24 generations. The Mazzei family owns 117 hectares of vine, divided in 120 parcels all harvested by hand. Grapes are vinified and matured separately in order to add complexity to the wines.
*Prices in Bond* Showing a youthful, taut, slightly flinty reductive character on the nose with chocolate and raspberry nuances. The palate reveals tart glassy acids with a sleek structure, saline maritime tension, and a pithy, smoky, slightly savoury leesy limestone minerality on the finish.
"A lot of expectations are built around tasting this maiden release of Gaja’s Etna Rosso, the first from Angelo and Gaia Gaja’s new project on the island of Sicily.
93 Points, James Suckling:“A bright, fruity wine with cherries and walnuts, as well as hints of burnt lemon. It’s medium-bodied with pretty fruit and a fruity finish. Hints of bark add to the complexity. Delicious and balanced. Drink now.”
