“Clear and bright aromas of sliced pear, melon, apple and honeysuckle. Full-bodied, layered and creamy with density and richness, yet it remains agile. Some cooked lemon and bitter lemon at the end. Honeysuckle and sage, too. From carricante vines that are about 100 years old. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“There is so much iron, pumice and minerals in the nose, together with black fruit. Medium-bodied with some meat and berry character. Asphalt, too. Starting to dry out a little now. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“This is sleek and elegant, with aromas of iodine, kelp, mulberries, cherries and slate. Some ash and herbs, too. Medium-bodied with tight tannins. Very fresh and precise. Lots of rain during the growing season. From 90-year-old pre-phylloxera nerello mascalese vines. Around 2,000 bottles produced. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“Lots of melon and lemon-rind aromas with some sage and mustard seed, following through to a full body with a creamy texture and lemony finish. I like the floral and lemon-zest highlight that gives the wine energy at the end. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“Lovely texture to this medium-bodied rosé, with a creamy texture and excellent length, delivering sliced lemons, peaches and minerals. Pumice undertone. Precise and energetic. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“An inviting nose of strawberry pie, rhubarb and grated nutmeg. Medium-to full-bodied. So fresh and juicy on the linear palate, which expands even more to give a delicious finish. Lovely. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“Lovely aromas of fresh strawberry, red cherry, rose and rosemary. Full-bodied with fine, silky tannins. Vibrant and dense on the palate, with so much fresh red fruit. Layered and very nicely balanced. A hint of woody spice adds complexity. Lemony acidity. Seriously tasty. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“Pretty carignano with dark-berry, slate and white-pepper aromas and flavors. Medium body with medium, round tannins and a salty, flavorful finish. Terra-cotta undertone to this. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“A rich and layered red with ripe berries, together with notes of chocolate, hazelnut and some walnut. Medium to full body. Juicy fruit. Succulent and slightly earthy aftertaste. Lots going on. Drink now or hold.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“Aromas of iron, baked strawberry and thyme. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Tart and sour berries wash over the palate, with wet minerals adding energy and definition. Bright and driving, with really wonderful length and balance. Savory notes, such as bark and chicory root, come through towards the finish. Delicious. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022
