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 impressive release that speaks volume of the pedigree of Tenuta San Guido’s wines. Guidalberto is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. A voluptuous nose charged with blackcurrant, black cherries, damson notes is rained in by mineral, almost balsamic hints of black olive, mint, tomato leaf and fresh black pepper. The exuberant nose of youth shouldn’t distract from the...

Wow, there is a very impressive freshness here that defies the heat of this vintage. The 2017 Saffredi does not seem like a 2017 at all. Now celebrating its 30th birthday, Saffredi is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. Thanks to the vineyard's proximity to the sea, leaving leaves on the vines and the sharp diurnal shifts...

Presenting the first vintage for this Cru, this is Claudios first separate bottling of Castellero and what a treat he has brought us! The nose is filled with deep notes of cranberry and cherry, this roundness and depth continues on the palate. Grippy but also irresistible, hard to put down now. The Castellero has a driving chalky, mineral quality and...

Crushed wild berries, violets, incense and sweet spices lift up from the 2016 Barrua. It is silky in texture with a polished display of red and black fruits, well balanced by tactile mineral notes that form toward the close. Hints of fine tannin linger throughout the pretty, purple-tinged finale. 91 points, Eric Guido, Vinous

Amazingly lithe and bright for the age, bursting with ripe black cherries and damson, juicy and concentrated on the palate. Black pepper, earth, and graphite emerge with a little time in the glass, along with a gamey savoury character and some dark chocolate. An opulent, complex wine that could even reward further time in the cellar.

The 2015 Barolo Bussia is a wine of power, density and gravitas, all of which come through in its decidedly vertical feel and rather somber expression. A whole range of balsamic-infused notes wrap around a core of dark fruit as this potent Barolo shows off its distinctive personality. 94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

The 2015 Barolo Castellero offers terrific energy and verve to play off the riper elements of the year. Pine, menthol, licorice, spice, tobacco and dried herbs infuse the 2015 with real character. I especially admire the wine's vibrancy, something that is such a signature of wines from this vineyard in Monforte.92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
