Passimiento is very much built in a modern Sicilian style – generous, fruit-led and made to be immediately enjoyable. It combines Nero d’Avola, Sicily’s signature red grape, with Frappato, which brings a bit more brightness and lift. Part of the Nero d’Avola is harvested later and given a drying period, which helps build extra richness and softness into the finished wine. The result is a red that feels warm and full without losing its sense of freshness.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect With...

Boccantino’s style leans into approachability - modern winemaking, soft tannins and plenty of ripe fruit, creating a wine that’s built for immediate enjoyment rather than long ageing. The Susumaniello link reflects the region’s wider revival of native varieties, but here the focus is firmly on Primitivo’s generous, crowd-pleasing character.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1660\" data-end=\"1707\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...

The wine itself is very much in the traditional Barbaresco lane: Nebbiolo from Piedmont, vinified in stainless steel, then aged for 24 months in oak barrels and a further 24 months in bottle before release. The result is structured, perfumed and savoury, with the tannin and acidity to develop well over the next few years.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...

The Ciacci family has owned the estate since 1850, although its place in Brunello history was secured in 1966, when it became one of just twelve producers bottling the newly recognised wine.\u003cbr\u003eThe estate remains closely associated with a traditional expression of Brunello. Sangiovese Grosso is grown on warm, south-facing slopes before being aged patiently in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing the grape’s natural perfume, red-fruited character and savoury complexity to remain at the forefront.\u003cbr\u003eThe 2020 vintage captures that approach beautifully. It has the generosity and depth expected from southern Montalcino, but there is freshness beneath the fruit and a graceful structure that keeps everything poised. Already expressive with time in the glass, it also has the balance and tannic framework to develop further in the cellar.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...

The estate has 12 hectares under vine, planted at around 332 metres above sea level on clay-rich soils shaped by breezes from the Val di Chiana and nearby Lake Trasimeno. Sangiovese, known locally as Prugnolo Gentile, leads this approachable expression of the region, joined by smaller amounts of traditional supporting varieties. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected before fermentation, with the wine spending around 12 months in French oak to add gentle spice and texture without losing its bright, generous fruit.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
