Chewy, robust Aglianico that sees a long maceration followed by an extended maturation in old chestnut barrels. A wine that needs time for its powerful tannins to integrate, this 2018 is now in a great place, and will improve for many years to come. Find out more.

One of the best vintages of Bianco we've tried in some time! Always a real nectar, this wine is a great introduction to the many ways Le Coste have with their macerated whites. A glowing amber in the glass, with heady aromatics and neat tannins. Mouth-watering stuff that will have you reaching for another glass. 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.

A maceration of Viognier, Marsanne & Roussanne grown over limestone, acquired from the Gard in the south. A powerfully structured wine, balancing a relatively low gravity with bold, mouth-coating tannins. A hazy, sandy gold in the glass, there is an abundance of intense apricot fruits with a peach iced tea-like quality that lends real dryness to the palate as it tails into a long, herbal finish.

Giardino's Greco with the highest altitude and as such, the freshest of all their often highly complex macerated whites. Almond-y stone fruits, with the tufo soils imparting an unmistakable puff of volcanic smoke. Find out more.

Here the maceration technique really brings out the sultry, tropical notes of the Gewürztraminer; the aromas are humid and exotic, perhaps akin to stumbling around a botanical garden after a couple of drinks. A highly distinctive grape handled with much the same singularity. 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.

Tom's more rustic, structured Syrah - a nice counter to the airy 'Poolside'. That lighter wine does play its part here, the whole bunches of old vine grapes are submerged in its fermenting juice, providing a balance of what he describes as 'youth and wisdom'. An abundance of umami flavours at play here underneath all the fruit. Find out more.

Coda di Volpe. Campania. Deep, dark & intense skin macerated wine that will age well. 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.
