Toscana, Italy. ‘The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is striking. A round, seamless wine that impresses for its voluptuous, caressing personality. Freshly cut roses, sweet red cherries, raspberries and spices blossom in a wine full of breadth, volume and richness. This is one of the best Rossos of the year...

Sicily, Italy.  "This is a superb set of wines from Valle dell'Acate. Not only are the wines delicious, the best bottles deliver incredible value as well. The estate uses only their best hillside plots for the Valle dell'Acate label, while the vineyards in the plains are used for the entry-level Case Ibidini range." Robert Parker (06/11)

Barolo, Piedmont, Italy. ThIS Barolo deftly balances the open, radiant personality of the vintage with considerable underlying structure. Warm, dense and full-bodied, the Barolo Castiglione flows effortlessly across the palate with generous fruit and fabulous overall balance. The wine was even better when I tasted it from bottle a few months later. It is another overachieving wine from Vietti and a bottle that is exceedingly fairly priced..”. (Antonio Galloni – The Wine advocate).

Barolo, Piedmont, Italy. Bright ruby red in colour. Bouquet Offers up generous fruit along with menthol, spices and hard candy. The palate shows notable intensity while retaining an essentially mid-weight style. Round, suave tannins add to the long and refined finish...

Bordeaux, France.  Perfumed dried herb, almost like lavender, red fruits, earthiness. Medium bodied showing attractive balanced acid and light chewy grip with some stony/graphite like character and a clean finish. Not very long, admittedly, but satisfactory. Typical style, good vintage and a thoroughly enjoyable drink. Pretty much spot on at the price point.
