TASTING NOTES
Mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Almost rich cherry fruit on the nose. Supple and mellow with just a medium-weight feel. Grainy tannins on the finish, and already approachable. 16 points, Walter Speller

PIEDMONT
The Italian word "Piedmont" means at the foot of the mountains, and indeed the whole region is dominated by the Alps to the north and the west. Piedmont is home to the largest area of vines which produce DOC and DOCG wines, and the region boasts over 40 denominations. The most well known wines from Piedmont include Barolo and Barbaresco, made from the Nebbiolo grape, and Asti Spumante, made from the Moscato grape. Nebbiolo is the undisputed king of the grape varieties in Piedmont but you should not ignore the lovely reds from the indigenous Dolcetto or Barbera, nor indeed...

TASTING NOTES
The Bussia is characteristically the most densely structured of the Crus, and for this reason is also the vineyard that produces the Barolo Riserva. The soil of the Bussia vineyard is compact clay and limestone which contributes to the firm structure. As with all of Claudios wines, this structure is matched by an elegance of flavour and delicate perfume. While...

TASTING NOTES
A wine which goes from strength to strength each vintage, the 2012 is very refreshing with an expressive and elegant bouquet of acacia flowers, orange blossom, green apples and white peaches. The palate is bursting with zesty citrus flavours with nuances of crisp apples, sweet apricots and soft stone fruits. A very attractive and fragrant wine, it will be delicious...

TASTING NOTES
Concentrated, rich and densely fruited. Full of dark fruit with red highlights. Thrillingly pure fruit supported by plentiful but svelte tannins. Rich yet elegant, unctuous without being heavy. The depth of the 2011 Conteisa becomes clear on the finish with savoury and earthy nuances highlighted by cleansing acidity. This is delicious and approachable but there are many layers to unfurl....

TASTING NOTES
The colour is a classic, intense garnet red. Clean and of good substance on the nose with floral and fruity notes and hints of liquorice and roots. This is a wine of character and marked tannins . Velvety and harmonious with notes of sweet spice and jam. A wine that can grow and evolve for many years. Armit Wines
