From the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, weโ€™re delighted to introduce the latest addition to our portfolio. Tornatore crafts wines that capture Etnaโ€™s character while remaining refined, balanced and highly drinkable.

As one of the regionโ€™s most established producers, Tornatore offers keen pricing, reliable supply and certified sustainability โ€” well suited to both onโ€‘trade and retail.

We were delighted to recently welcome three winemakers from some of the most highly regarded vineyards in the Cรดte de Beauneโ€”Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume, Philippe Chavy, and Pierre-Antonin Darviotโ€”for a series of bespoke masterclasses and curated lunches.
ย 
Matt Wilkin MS, Director of Prestige Sales, commented:ย 
โ€œSpring couldnโ€™t have proved a better opportunity to experience three amazing days with three much-loved boutique Cรดte de Beaune Producers, each delivering Burgundy Masterclasses in London and Edinburgh side-by-side!
ย 
Being spoilt for choice, this rare insight covered Lieux-dits from multiple appellations:ย  Santenay to Chassagne, Meursault to Puligny and Volnay to Beaune. Tasters were enthusiastically taken on a journey through the multi-diverse profiles of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with an array of wines from ๐—๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป-๐—•๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฒ (Santenay), ๐——๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐˜† (Puligny-Montrachet) and ๐——๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜-๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป (Meursault). With each producer excelling in their field, tasters were provided extraordinary insight into their individual expertise and styles, coupled with traditional values enhanced by modern techniques, resulting in a technical masterclass that elevated beyond the norm.
ย 
Following these events, we received several exclusive, rare parcels from each producerโ€™s cellar for our UK customers. There are some incredibly unique and extremely limited wines here with several rare Magnum releases not to be missed โ€“ some of which wonโ€™t ever be available again!โ€
ย 
These exclusive events were hosted at Trivet and Cabotte in London, and Gleneagles Townhouse in Edinburgh. Our thanks to all the teams for curating such exceptional menus to perfectly complement the wines.
