2016 Custoza, Monte del Frà, Veneto

Drink now,

Vague, blossomy cloud of a nose, pear drops. A gentle, soft wine that tastes of white flowers, and fruit-flavoured candy. Without strong character but easy to drink and it provides a useful canvas for a meal in which you want the food to play the leading role, and also surprisingly good with white asparagus.

2016 Barbera d'Alba, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont

Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Ready, but will keep,

Many of Davide Rosso’s Barbera vines date back to the 1950s, producing elegant and juicy styles of the grape. The vines are all grown in Serralunga d’Alba and the nearby Roddino village, close to the winery. The body is supported by a complex aromatic profile of cherries and mixed forest berries, white pepper and liquorice lain on a plump and generous plummy palate. Davide ages his Barbera in large French oak barrels for a short period before bottling, adding further complexity, softness and drinkability. Drink now to 2025.

2016 Pecorino dei Colli Aprutini, Collepietro, Faraone, Abruzzo

Faraone, Abruzzo, Ready, but will keep,

Pecorino is a white grape, traditionally from the hills of Abruzzo, where it is adept at growing in a slightly cooler climate and on clay soil. It is the last grape to flower in the Spring and the first to be harvested in September. Vinified in a traditional white wine-way, the nose shows off notes of white flowers while the ageing sur lie gives it a full body. Sometimes it is described as a red wine dressed as white.

2016 Chianti Classico, Gaiole, Badia a Coltibuono, Tuscany

Badia a Coltibuono, Tuscany, Ready, but will keep,

Located in Gaiole in Chianti, Badia a Coltibuono’s history stretches back to 1051. Current owners, the Stucchi Prinetti family, have been in residence since 1846. Today siblings Emanuela, Roberto, Paolo and Guido run the show. The family is fortunate enough to own a significant slice of Monti in Chianti, whose prized terroir is home to ancient Sangiovese clones.

The nose has a concentrated dark cherry perfume with hints of balsamic, wild mint and a little spice. There’s lots of cool, fresh fruit on the palate, with lovely minerality and high, mouth-watering acidity supported by fine tannins. An elegant and delicious wine. Drink now to 2025.

2016 Rosso di Montalcino, Scopetone, Tuscany

Scopetone, Tuscany, Ready, but will keep,

Baby Brunello (coming from 17-year-old vines) shows its pedigree with its precision and intensity. Notes of bramble fruit, raspberry and kirsch lead on to a structured palate, but it’s deliciously crunchy thanks to its lively acidity. More approachable than Brunello, this is a lot of fun on the table.

2016 Barbera d'Alba, Cascina Fontana, Piedmont

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

The 2016 shows incredible intensity of fruit, while retaining great freshness and energy. Mario’s Barbera hails from Sinio (famed for its fruit-rich wines) and from high pedigree, Castiglione. Half of the blend stays in cement tank, half in older barrels, giving the wine rounder edges and enjoyability. Raspberry ripple, black and red cherry fruit and bright berry freshness give way to succulence and supple, vivid, blue-fruit freshness. Drink now to 2028.

2016 Rosso di Montalcino, Lisini, Tuscany, Italy

Lisini, Tuscany, Ready, but will keep,

Lisini is one of Montalcino’s oldest wine estates. The Clementi family, being of Jewish origin from Venice, fought alongside the Medicis in their conquest of Montalcino. Today, signor Filippo Paoletti is responsible for making traditional wines, using cement and large oak casks.

This is a beautiful, lucid cherry colour with purple flashes. The nose is a tightly woven with ripe cherries, grained leather and Tuscan garden herbs. The palate is cleansing and bright, with crunchy cranberries, sour cherries and a ripe plum character, showing the generosity and richness of the vintage. The fruit flavours, framed by silky tannins give way to sweet spices, and a wonderful savoury edge, typical of Sangiovese. Drink now to 2024.

Cascina Luisin, Piedmont, Ready, but will improve,

The south-facing exposure for this Barbera mean the grapes reach full ripeness in flavour and tannin, which is further extenuated by the concentration from these 80-year-old vines. The nose is a medley of inky, plump, red cherry and floral charm. The palate is dark, with bright violet flashes, notes of cocoa, dark berry, heady spices and a long, juicy finish. Top wine. Drink now to 2024.

2016 Etna Rosso, Graci, Passopisciaro, Sicilia

Graci, Sicily, Ready, but will keep,

Mount Etna, famous for its black lava soils and elegant red wines made from the Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio grapes, has been undergoing a revival over the last two decades. Alberto Graci has been making wine at Passopisciaro, on the northern slope of the volcano since 2004. He prefers to work as naturally as possible.

The Graci Etna Rosso is made of 100% Nerello Mascalese, coming from 15-year-old vines located at 600 to 700 metres above sea-level on the north-eastern slopes of Etna. The fruit undergoes a 20-day maceration on its skins, and is then matured in a mixture of cement tanks and botti grandi for 18 months. The resulting wine is elegant with a succulent nose of wild cherry, eucalyptus and blood orange. It is fresh yet enticing, with finely woven tannins and a smoky edge. Drink now to 2024.

2016 Il Bruciato, Bolgheri DOC, Guado al Tasso

Antinori, Drink now,

Lovely glossy crimson in colour, this exhibits a wholly Italianate sensibility attesting perhaps, to the supremacy of Bolgheri’s terroir for this style of wine. A dark, brooding, spicy core is overlain with bonfire embers, chocolate cherries and leaf-litter. Some tried thyme, rose petals and crushed raspberry eventually battle their way to the fore of a nose whose complexity truly belies this wine’s price point. At this stage it is richly textured with black plum and more herbal flavours on the palate while a touch of liquorice/aniseed at the end keeps you on your toes. It really is very complete and very difficult to fault, I struggle so see anybody being disappointed on drinking this in a year or so’s time. Drink 2019-2022.

2016 Sassicaia, Bolgheri Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido, Tuscany

For laying down,

This has amazing power, elegance and finesse on the nose – with a black-fruit perfume that is so gentle and subtle, so Sassicaia! It’s tremendously elegant on the palate too, but with latent power – building in the mouth, with layers of rich, dark fruit. It’s a real iron fist in a velvet glove. With beautifully balanced acidity and ripe, rounded tannins, it’s a superbly elegant glass of wine with a long and very fine finish. This will age endlessly. Drink 2024-2050+.
