Lis Neris, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Ready, but will keep,

2014 Tignanello, Antinori, Tuscany

Antinori, For laying down,

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.

2014 Guidalberto, Tenuta San Guido, Tuscany

Sassicaia, Ready, but will improve,

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

2014 Solea, Langhe Bianco, Roagna, Piedmont

Roagna, Piedmont, Ready, but will improve,

We know that 2014 was a great vintage for Piedmont, Ligurian and French whites and Luca’s nailed his 2014 Solea perfectly. A blend of 75 percent Chardonnay and 25 percent Nebbiolo from Pira vines at the bottom of the Castiglione Falletto slope, this is pale-lemon in colour. The nose thrills with notes of lime and lemon skin, pith and hay. It’s so exquisitely balanced, between fruit and oak (two years in big barrel), with the Nebbiolo’s energy and zing complementing the Chardonnay’s broader feel. Fantastico!

2014 Langhe Nebbiolo, Cascina Fontana, Piedmont

Cascina Mario Fontana, Piedmont, Ready, but will keep,

A blend of fresh, fruity Sinio Nebbiolo and more statuesque Castiglione Falletto fruit from Mario’s Pozzo vineyard, this is very suave and perfumed with mulberry notes. The palate shows the refinement and class of Castiglione Falletto. There’s a lovely, flattering roll of fruit, along with those more crystalline, ethereal flavours that point to ancient, calcareous clay soils. This is cleansing and true. Vinified for 10 months in 25hl botti grandi. Only 3,600 bottles were made.

2014 Etna Rosso, Contrada da Arcuria, Graci, Passopisciaro, Sicilia

Graci, Sicily, Ready, but will keep,

Mount Etna is the perfect example of how nature can truly affect a wine and render it breath-taking. Alberto Graci has created his Etna Rosso using traditional methods that ensure high quality, but enviable yields. The indigenous varieties sing through, with Nerello Mascalese offering bright, vivacious red fruits, with an almost endless depth, tempered by a measure of Nerello Cappuccio that offers roundness, and a slight, endearing candied note, finishing with a creamy kiss of oak. This is a must for Burgundy lovers looking for something fun and vibrant, or, indeed, Italian wine lovers looking for the perfect wine to serve alongside a good roast or barbecue.
Tariq Khan - Wine Advisor

Grown at 600 metres above sea-level on rocky lava soils, there is a delicacy to the form of this wine that belies its concentration. Perfumed cherry fruit and citrus peel layer with coal and refreshing acidity. It’s very persistent. Drink 2018-2021.

2014 Il Frappato, Arianna Occhipinti, Sicilia

Arianna Occhipinti, Sicily, Ready, but will keep,

This wine always displays a playful energy and lightness of touch that slightly defies its origin. The fruit and minerality feel a little more balanced and integrated in the 2014, maybe due to the slow and steady véraison. The resulting perfume on the nose then leads to crunchy red fruit with a hint of spice and florality on the palate.
Drink 2016-2018.

2014 Old Vine Primitivo, Manduria, Morella, Puglia

Morella, Puglia, Ready, but will keep,

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.

Morella, Puglia, Ready, but will keep,

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 Etna Rosso, Feudo di Mezzo, Graci, Passopisciaro, Sicily, Italy

Graci, Sicily, Ready, but will improve,

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.

2014 Barolo, Mauro Veglio, Piedmont

Mauro Veglio, Ready, but will improve,

Gleaming and gorgeous! This entry-level Barolo from the Veglios is fresh and lifted, but with great depth. Floral, spicy and high-toned in profile, it nevertheless has a firm core of dark and red berry fruit. Made with fruit from younger vines in La Morra and Monforte d’Alba, this spends two years in old French oak prior to bottling without fining or filtration. Drink now to 2030.

Mauro Veglio, Ready, but will improve,

The Gattera vineyard was planted in the early 1950s between La Morra and Castiglione Falletto on a mix of soils, producing complex and mature wines. Generous in style, this is filled with supple fruit and immediate enjoyment. The nose is floral and fruity; it’s so inviting. The palate is all plum, kirsch cherry, coffee, leather and spice rack characters, woven with dark chocolate. Drink now to 2030.

Grown at 270 metres’ altitude, the Arborina site gives wines of amazing elegance and minerality from poor sandy and calcareous soils. High-toned, the wine offers striking depth, especially for the elegance of the vintage. Black cherry, plum and mocha flavours build on grained leather, mineral flashes and sweet spice. There is a touch of modernity from the new oak, while retaining stoic Barolo restraint and minerality. Drink now to 2035.

2014 Barolo, Castelletto, Mauro Veglio, Piedmont

Mauro Veglio, Ready, but will improve,

Offering amazing depth and intensity, this wine showcases the quality of this special site in Monforte. Southeastfacing with sandstone soils, this site produces richer, darker styles of Barolo which have a unique minty character from vines planted in the 1970s. The aromas are of rose petals, garden herbs and red cherries, pricked with liquorice. The palate is full, firm and juicy with blue and black berry fruit, and a mineral crunch. This wine offers amazing quality and value. Drink 2020-2035.

2014 Barolo, Vigna Rionda, Giovanni Rosso, Serralunga d'Alba

Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, For laying down,

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.
Chris Pollington, Private Account Manager

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.
