"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a fascinating interpretation of Vigneti di Versante. It takes the lifted, floral, exotic nature of the vintage and marries it beautifully to Pian dell'Orino's style of finesse and refinement. Mint leaf, crushed rocks, hints of camphor and dried strawberries are complicated by suggestions of ground ginger in the glass. This is elegant and refined,...

"A complex and layered wine with notes of tobacco, liquorice, dark cocoa and cherries. The palate is full-bodied, with tightly knit tannins, crisp acidity, and a long, savoury finish of spices and earthy minerality. One to cellar for years to come" Alessandro Comitini, Armit Wines

"This is really rich and flavorful with meat, game, berries and some cloves. Full body, tight center palate with a long and flavorful finish. Shows depth and focus." 95-96, James Suckling

"Aromas of red fruit, dried flowers, orange peel and walnuts. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Dry with a fine texture. Hints of crushed stones and cedar at the end. Better from 2027." 93, James Suckling

One of the most fascinating white wines from Piedmont. Chardonnay is vinified alongside Nebbiolo, both sourced from the family’s Pira vineyard in "Barolo. Nebbiolo is vinified with no skin contact, but the grape lends the wine its complex texture and length. Buttery notes are complemented by orchard fruit and hazlenuts. Made with a nod towards white Burgundy." Armit Wines

"Here is an exciting new submission from Elena Walch that represents her foray into a lighter and more delicate red wine. The 2018 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Aton reveals a sightly evolved character, with dried fruit, redcurrant, strawberry confit and a hint of wild licorice root. Aton is very silky to the touch and lean on the mid-palate, with...

"Bright telltale ruby color introduces a complex and layered aromatic profile of earthy minerality, Parma violets, rhubarb root, red currants and wild strawberries. Graceful and bracing palate with firm, velvety and refined tannins, crisp integrated acidity and great balance in the finish, which is polished and classy. Best after 10 years." 97, James Suckling

"Potpourri and bitter oranges dominate this complex wine. It’s bright ruby in the glass, with sweet spices and graceful depth. Firm on the palate with dusty yet ripe tannins, integrated delicate acidity and an amazing finish. Grace and power are well managed here. Long finish with rhubarb notes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025." 96, James Suckling
