Tuscan Wine

Deep plum-ruby in colour, this is immediately inviting, presenting a nose rich in plump, ripe, cherries and berries, delicate spice and a savoury, mushroom character, all reflected on a generous, fresh, high-toned palate

I Montali IGT Enrico Santini 2016

Ultimate decadence! This traditional dessert wine oozes all the appeal of the stunning estate that makes it.

Vinsanto del Chianti Classico Vignamaggio 2015 Halves

Brunello di Montalcino Ridolfi 2015

A delicate Brunello full of lifted, aromatic red fruit and a touch of spice. Grippy tannins combine beautifully with notes of sweet fruit and tar. A total bullseye.

This, unusually 100% Cabernet Franc, is beautifully perfumed, fresh and upbeat, red and black fruit dominant, with grip and spice underscored by crushed stone minerals. There are hints of grilled fennel too, testament to a warm well-drained soil - stylish.

Aromas of Roses, iodine and grapefruit, with smoky minerality behind. A palate of ripe raspberry fruit, Parma violets all framed by supple tannins. Fantastic!

Deep ruby in colour, this presents an array of spiced red fruit on the nose. The palate is deliciously dark and concentrated, profound and aromatic, perfumed yet with grip. This is a wine, dark and brooding, which warrants a little time

Campo di Camagi Tenuta di Trinoro 2015

A wonderful example of what can be achieved when Cabernet Franc has the opportunity fully to ripen -old vine fruit intensity prevails throughout

Magnacosta Tenuta di Trinoro 2014

Campo di Magnacosta Tenuta di Trinoro 2015

A wine that ticks every box for fine dining: approachable, succulent, oozing with sex appeal… and ridiculously priced given its pedigree.

100% Cabernet Franc, Magnacosta is a 1.5 hectare gravelly site where an old stream eats (magna) into a hillside (costa). The Cabernet Franc, grown from Pomerol cuttings is,very accessible. The 2018 offers a rather high-toned, focused nose, grape must and wild blackcurrant, layered with bitter cherry on the nose, rather lovely. The palate reflects the aromatics presented on the nose whilst laying some ground rules. This is no retiring violet, rather it is robust, positively vibrant and driven, embellished by floral purity.
