Mauro's take on Piemonte's most famous digestif, Chinato. Fortified and sweetened Nebbiolo, infused with a host of aromatics from cardamom to ginseng, all tied together by the bitter China bark that gives the wine its name. Find out more.

Mauro Vergano's legendary aromatizzati number some of the great apertivi. Vermouth rosso with more bitter components than the typical Torino style. Exquisitely composed and incredibly delicious. Best served over ice, with a slice of orange and a splash of soda. Find out more.

After-dinner Mauro. Still credited as the only white Chinato out there, think of this as something like a Moscato d’Asti, but amped up with a host of citrus and herbs, and given a distinct bitter backbone with the use of quinine bark. Find out more.

A wonderful example of what this cru can offer. Often making some of the more structured, ageworthy Beaujolais, here a balance of muscularity and elegance is on display. A wide-open aromatic profile leads to dark, inky fruits with an almost Burgundian character. Find out more.

An impressive example of this elevated cru. The texture of the wine is beautifully soft and silky, with integrated, lightly gripping tannic structure. An elegant Beaujolais that bears the complexity of its old-vine origin. Find out more.

Simply put, this is top-end Cava at its finest. Recaredo have a reputation for taking their time with each bottle, and the results of the lengthy ageing yield incredible results. Needlepoint mousse, high-definition fruit and layers of brioche-like complexity. Find out more.

It's pleasing to see the often overlooked or blended Alsatian varietal Sylvaner here taking centre stage and showing what it can be capable of when harvested from older vines. There is a soaring acidity and a cut glass quality, impeccably crystalline fruits and a tension that binds it all together. Find out more.

Broad-shouldered Saint Joseph rouge from parcels on an east-facing slope at 330m, over lots of granitic gravel. Plantings from the early 1980's and massal selection vines from 2006-2008. A classic. Find out more.

Sweet, passito-style wine made with the old-fashioned, labour-of-love method: Moscato grapes have their shoots cut and are left on the vine to dry out and create very high natural sugar levels before being pressed and fermented. This nectar is an absolute must for fans of Moscato d'Asti. Find out more.

Another fabulous small-scale, biodynamically-farmed natural wine from the home soils of England. It's a scene that numbers a dedicated handful of growers that is gaining more momentum with each passing vintage. This pretty field-blend fizz is a great example. Believe! Find out more.

As a broad stroke one could describe Les Aussigouins as a more amped-up sister to Faia - the production is the same, it is the qualities in the raw materials that make it unique. The fruit is opluent and richly textured, with beautiful, long acidity that points to this being a wine built to go the distance. Find out more.

Biodynamically-farmed, zero-sulphur Barolo? Not something you see every day. Ferdinando's entry-point, from the youngest vines on the estate, showing all that bold, chewy, sweet leather character, but with some generous fruit vigour that steers this wine away from severity, even in its (relative) youth. Find out more.

A real gateway wine for us here at Wayward, and one that taught us that Nebbiolo isn't all about Barolo and Barbaresco. Lithe and elegant with nimble red cherry fruits and a charred rose petal perfume. Find out more.

A powerful, structured expression of Verdicchio that can age with aplomb. Highly concentrated, oily lemon citrus, a little opulence from time in barrel and a distinct salinity from the ancient sea bed over which the vines are planted. A serious wine best enjoyed with some good pasta or seafood. Find out more.
