Jancis Robinson Richard Hemming - 30 Jul 24
Earthy, leathery, animal nose. Amazingly vibrant fruit – really vivid, almost Grenache-like. Absolutely electric. Crackles with energy. Finely ground tannic paste to the texture. This is a superb find. (RH)

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
