Italy is a wonderful patchwork quilt of a country with incredible regionality and local traditions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the rich profusion of indigenous grape varieties that grace the slopes and plains of many of Italy's wine-producing regions. While wine production dates back centuries, it wasn't until relatively recently that a wave of producers set new benchmarks for fine Italian Wines. Whether you like a more modernist or traditionalist approach, international or indigenous varieties, the Italian wine scene has never been more exciting.

An extremely attractive, intense scent of liquorice lifts from the nose. This is a superb wine, packed full with succulent ripe, healthy fruit. It is complex and generous and very long on the palate. The vintage will allow relatively early drinking but this will undoubtedly develop tremendously well in the next decade and beyond.

A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 10% cabernet franc it may be, but this is nothing like Bordeaux! Cool blue berry fruits, spice and rich lilac perfume lift out of the glass followed by hints of spice. In the mouth the fruit is ripe and generous, with layers of herb, eucalyptus and spice but the lacy mineral...

Very expressive nose with touches of balsamic, herbs and black fruits. The palate really fleshes out into bold cassis fruit but with a tight, tannic structure. The fruit is coulis in character, with dissolved vanilla oak notes. Lovely touches of spice, smoke, even mint shows themselves with a vital core of acidity and great length of flavour. This is a...

This has a darker fruit character than Conteisa. Very deep and layered and in need of time to unfurl. The texture and harmony of the wine are most striking at this stage. Gossamer but very present tannins which reinforce and support the dense core of fruit. This hangs together perfectly with a great sense of progression from the concentrated fruit...
