This 100 percent Carignano is made in very limited volumes. The fruit throughout is rich but also elegant, with fine tannins and bold, ripe red berries. It’s generous on the mid-palate with hints of leather and dried herbs bringing added complexity.

The sign of a great winemaker is in their ability to create something delcious and expressive of place and variety regardless of the challenges that nature throws at them. This wine is a perfect example. Bright, energetic and lively, the fruit and acidity layer with ripe tannins. One for enjoying a little earlier, but delicious nonetheless. Drink from 2019+.

This single-vineyard wine, from a site just below Graci's cantina, sees Nerello Mascalese blended with a small proportion of the darker, more brooding, Nerello Cappuccio. Structurally, this wine is bolder than their entry-level Rosso or intensely decadent Barbabecchi, but it seduces with ripe, smoky berry fruit and complex finish. Drink now to 2020.

By “Old Vine”, we’re talking 75-year-old, free-standing vines – knotted, gnarled and twisted together. Thanks to the biodynamic approach in the vineyard, this richly flavoured wine has freshness and precision. The nose is beautifully concentrated with notes of cherry and cinnamon, leading on to a full-bodied, rich, powerful and unctuous palate with bramble fruit, tobacco and chocolate notes. Drink now to 2025.

There is an elegance to this Primitivo, which is made from fruit grown on gnarled 70-year-old vines. Stunning kirsch fruit, plummy and generous, layers with floral notes reminiscent of purple iris, while the tannins are supple and round. This wine is richly textured but the overall feeling is one of refinement. Drink now to 2022.

2014 Guidalberto possesses real freshness and elegance. The nose has a striking spicy characteristic with anise, pepper and a hint of tobacco. The palate is very fresh and cool with a smooth texture that instils a real sense of balance. Blackcurrant and plum fruits dominate with hints of chocolate and sweet spice on the finish. Drink 2017-2025

Made from 100 percent Pinot Grigio, fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks but is run off and finished in 500-litre French oak. With 11 months’ ageing on the lees, this is no ordinary Pinot Grigio. The weight and matter on the attack and mid-palate give depth and length to this finely textured wine that ages deceptively well, though the fruit is lighter and the acidity is fresher in the 2014.
Drink 2016-2022.

The Sangiovese dominates on the nose with notes of grilled meats and Morello cherries. These are echoed on the palate, reminiscent of great Chianti Classico, before the blackcurrant comes in towards to the finish to remind you that the Cabernets are there. Great acidity and full, but soft tannins indicate that this will drink relatively early, but has at least a decade of life ahead of it. Another delicious Tig’ from the team at Antinori.

Pure notes of red and black fruit on the nose, reminiscent of cherries, raspberries and damsons, with hints of medicinal herbs in the background. Lovely depth on the palate, with juicy red and black fruit flowing in waves and filling the mouth, tempered by bright acidity and microscopically fine tannins. The finish is very long, velvety and elegant. A fabulous wine with amazing concentration, energy and balance. Quite forward for Vigna Rionda, this will give very pleasurable drinking while we wait for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 vintages to come round.

Vigna Rionda is sited on a slope at elevations ranging from 820 to 1180 feet above sea level; the beneficial siting of this hill insures a great deal of sun throughout the day. The soils are a combination of marl, calcaire and a touch of sand; the vineyard is sheltered from excessive winds by the nearby Castelleto hill.

These vintages have been offered to our customers to allow them to take part in the regeneration of this outstanding vineyard and the latest 2014 offering proves once again that this perfectly situated and incredibly special vineyard will always capture the very best of vintage conditions.
