Stunning Chianti Classico. 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo, grown on galestro and alberese soils in Radda. It ferments spontaneously and ages for 12 months in large, untoasted French oak botti.

When we visited Radda in 2024, the owner of the local enoteca, Casa Porciatti, told us Diego’s fruit is “just too good for a Classico.” It represents extreme value in the world of Italian fine w**e, that’s for sure.

Vinous gave the 2023 91 points, calling it “juicy, open-knit” and “long on character.” Walter Speller at JancisRobinson.com scored it 17++.

A cellar gem by Languedoc legend Pascale Riviere ❤️

L’Egrisée means diamond dust. It is made up of 70% white grenache, 10% roussanne, and 20% white carignan, vinified and aged in tank.

White flowers, fennel, pear. Silky and pure. Looking fantastic at 6 years!

On pour: Balestri Valda’s ‘Sengialta’ Soave Classico 2021.

Served with: a grassy, green broad bean leaf pesto pasta.

Laura’s small Sengialta parcel is planted to old-vine Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave, and is also home to her bee colony. The w**e is aged on lees in large botti for around 22 months. Stone fruit, white flowers, a creamy texture, and a mineral purity that mingles right through the pesto.

🍷 EXTREME VALUE EURO REDS ✨

W**es this good at these prices are hard to find. We hunt across Europe for bottles with personality, built on quality fruit from serious estates. These six show what can be achieved if you know where, and how, to look…

Toma ‘Tinto’ Tempranillo, Garnacha 2023 — DO Navarra

An equal blend from one of Navarra’s leading producers, Nekeas. Black cherry, liquorice, clove and savoury earth; juicy and alive.


Anduma Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2023 — Cisterna d’Asti, Piedmont

Classic, traditional Nebbiolo from a family w**ery of nearly 200 years. Red fruits, faded flowers, alpine herbs and fine integrated tannins. andumavino

Domaine Lalaurie ‘L’Orage Rouge’ IGP Pays d’Oc 2023 — Languedoc

Colle Corviano Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC 2023 — Loreto Aprutino, Abruzzo

Anduma Piemonte Grignolino DOC 2025 — Piedmont

You know Beaujolais. Now head 70 km west, over the ranges into the foothills of the Massif Central, where the Loire River cuts through granite gorges and volcanic landscapes begin dominate. This is the Côte Roannaise, and Gamay Saint-Romain grows here. 🍇

It’s a local strain of Gamay grown at higher altitude with naturally low yields and later ripening. It makes w**es that are wilder and spicier than their Beaujolais cousins.

Chez Coste 2022, the detail:

📍 AOP Côte Roannaise, Loire
🍇 100% Gamay Saint-Romain
⛰️ 1.5 ha at the heart of the Perdrizière cru, east-facing at 400 m
🪨 Decomposed granite (“gore”), rich in iron and manganese
🌱 Densely planted vines from the 1980s, organic & biodynamic
🏺 Destemmed, wild ferment and roughly 6 months’ maceration in porous amphora
🌀 Slow, gentle pressing, then another 6 months in amphora

💫 A shipment of Pafritas has just arrived from Rioja 💫

Spanish potatoes fried in 100% traceable virgin olive oil from a nearby estate in Quel, then finished with Mediterranean sea salt from Alicante. Frying cleverly in virgin olive oil delivers loads of flavour and a lighter, crisper chip.

UK: contact [email protected]

‘SAL MARINA’ SEA SALT (120g)

The original addictive base crisp for the range, loaded with virgin olive oil flavour

‘AJO’ SPANISH GARLIC (120g)

Spanish garlic and virgin olive oil. Bold, savoury and made for a cold b**r or a glass of fino.

‘LA RIOJANA’ OAK-SMOKED PAPRIKA (120g)

Seasoned with holm oak-smoked PimentĂłn de la Vera PDO from CĂĄceres. Smoky and warm, this is a Spanish delicacy.

’TRUFA NEGRA’ WINTER BLACK TRUFFLE (100g)

Made with winter black truffles from Trufar SelecciĂłn in Teruel, AragĂłn. Total luxury.

Super fine Italian white w**e ✨

Four superb examples from visionary producers at the top of their class: Etna, Abruzzo, Piedmont and Veneto.

2024 Maugeri Etna Bianco Superiore Maugeri Etna w**es

Three sisters, Paola, Michela and Carla Maugeri, farm terraced vineyards near Milo on Etna’s eastern slope, the only commune allowed to make Etna Bianco Superiore. The vines grow at about 700m on sandy volcanic soils, surrounded by dry-stone walls and forest. The w**e is 100% Carricante, picked by hand and pressed gently. It ferments in stainless steel and French tonneaux. With tension, transparency and herb-mineral character, this is definitive Etna.

2025 Tiberio Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Cristiana Tiberio

Established in Cugnoli in 2000, Tiberio is at the cutting edge of Italian fine w**e. This is a dazzling example of Trebbiano Abruzzese, from a massale selected vineyard planted in the 1940s to sandy limestone at 350m. Only free-run juice is used and production is in stainless steel. It is piercing in its clarity, precision and purity.

2024 Claudio Mariotto Timorasso ‘Bricco San Michele’ Claudio Mariotto

Claudio is the 4th generation on his family’s farm at Vho in the Colli Tortonesi. He was one of a small group of growers who saved Timorasso from extinction in the 1990s. Bricco San Michele is his youngest single vineyard, planted to a limestone and clay soil hillside. The grapes are pressed slowly and ferment spontaneously. The w**e spends a year on fine lees in steel with light bâtonnage, then at least 12 months in bottle.

2021 Balestri Valda Soave Classico ‘Sengialta’ Balestri Valda

Laura and her husband Federico run this small organic estate in the Soave hills. Organic practices and an emphasis on biodiversity inform their farming. Sengialta is one of the smallest UGA sites in Soave, named after the ‘sengio’, the black basalt that mixes with white fossil-rich limestone there. A blend of 70% old-vine Garganega and 30% Trebbiano di Soave, the w**e spends 22 months on fine lees in large barrels building an incredible textural and age-worthy w**e.

Prünent – first recorded in 1309 – is the local biotype of Nebbiolo in Valli Ossolane, Piedmont’s northernmost DOC. ’s is the w**e that put Valli Ossolane on the map. It is a benchmark for the variety and testament to the work of more than forty tiny-scale growers keeping their ancient alpine w**emaking culture alive.

Brothers Marco and Matteo Garrone, the fourth generation of the family, draw this w**e from about 2 hectares of small, scattered vineyards. The vines are 30 to 100 years old, trained on traditional topia pergolas and grown on sandy gneiss up to 550 metres. The w**e is spontaneously fermented and spends 10 months in stainless steel, followed by 12 months in large neutral French oak botti.

Dark cherry, plum and tart mountain berries lead on the nose, with graphite, leather, incense and dried flowers. The palate is taut and vertical, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh alpine acidity. This mountain Nebbiolo is perfumed, sleek and long, and drinking marvellously.

Essential drinking for all Nebbiolo lovers!

Raised in large Slavonian oak plus a little time in un-toasted tonneaux, this super value Barolo is from La Morra. Deliciously effortless, it is elegant and pure with juicy red fruits, fine spices and fennel. Decant for best results now or age it for years.

“A very attractive, perfumed Barolo that’s both spicy and floral with a delicate mouthfeel. Lively cherries, raspberries, orange peel and red flowers. Gives off pinot-like vibes. Medium-bodied with juicy and tense acidity and a beautiful, elegant texture. It’s minerally, pristine and very pure. Good structure. Already attractive, but better after 2026.” 92 points – James Suckling
