2020 Acosta, Eduardo Torres - Terre Siciliane Rosso IGT Contrada Arenaria
The 2020 Nerello Mascalese Arenaria lifts from the glass with a remarkably pretty blend of wildflowers, crushed rocks and blackberries. This is juicy and racy in style, with a reverberation of zesty tension that builds. Sour citrus and minerals saturate, ...
2014 Adanti - Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG
A medium-bodied red with blue-fruit, bark and wet-earth undertones. Chewy, but there’s some polish to the tannins. A typical but approachable sagrantino. Drink or hold.
2019 Agricola Punica - Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Barrua
Structured and focused with dark berries, dark cherries, dried herbs, bark and some cloves. Medium to full body with fine, firm tannins. Serious, layered and a bitter chocolate-like, funnelled finish with excellent length. Best after 2024.

2019 Allegrini - Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico
The Allegrini 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico reverts to a classic profile for air-dried fruit made with appassimento. There are distant whiffs of candied cherry that give more lift and intensity to the bouquet that is otherwise characterized by ...
2022 Allegrini - Valpolicella DOC Classico
Just bottled. A classic blend from a dry vintage, among the driest on record, competing with 2003. Yet the ripeness is beautifully balanced by an underlying freshness due to savvy canopy management. Sappy red to dark fruit allusions, fennel seeds and vio...
2020 Amastuola - Negroamaro
A bright and fresh red with light tannins and lots of clean fruit at the end. Medium body. Citrusy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
