Ernesto del Palacio has been making wine for over 300 years in the region of Toro, most famously known for its powerful reds made from Tinta de Toro, a variant of the internationally known Tempranillo. This Tinto Roble is born after a careful selection of grapes from vineyards over 50 years old with low yields. With an intense cherry colour and beautiful purple reflections, it will surprise you with its sweet notes thanks to the maturity of carefully selected clusters. Taste It has an intense ch

Seleccion Sobre Lias is a singular limited production Verdejo made from a rigorous selection of grapes, seeking to achieve the greatest expression of the Verdejo variety by ageing on its own lees to enhance the expressiveness of the wine. Complex on the nose, with hints of white fruit and aromatic he

The nose needs to be decanted. It reveals notes of spices, pepper and more of the fresh/varietal flowers that are associated with small touches of cassis as well as a fine toasted tip.

This wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, juicy/pulpy cassis, and more red berries with touches of pulpy / tangy plum, hints of

A beautiful rose Prosecco from the family-run Villa Degli Olmi. Delightfully elegant bubbles with notes of summer red fruits, accompanied by a savoury and creamy finish.

Excellent as an aperitif, it is a wine for the whole meal that goes well with cold and light dishes, risottos, fish main courses and white meats. Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Mar

The Galverno Langhe Rosso is a blend of Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, with Nebbiolo skins from their Barolo Ravera production adding a unique touch. Grown in prime Barolo terroir, the Dolcetto contributes exceptional fruitiness and rare complexity. The result? A blend with added aromas, tannins, and heightened complexity from the estate's Nebbiolo. A very enjoyable wine, bursting with bright red fruits with the structure and body from the Nebbiolo coming though on the palate. A great find. About the Pr

Barolo's little brother, Langhe Nebbiolo, is a younger and more approachable wine that doesn't require years of aging to soften the tannins, unlike some Barolos. While still retaining all the charming characteristics of Nebbiolo, the addition of 10% Barbera into the blend gives it a softer side. Expect beautifully perfumed red fruits and a smooth, balanced, and long finish. Taste Canebbio is an elegant and refined wine, and its colour of mellow red garnet shades out to burnt orange near the side

Bordeaux's Blaye-Cotes de Bordeaux is one of the less well-known communes of this famed region.  Subsequently its wines are often excellent value for money, especially in near-perfect vintages like 2019.  The Chateau Crusquet de Lagarcie is Merlot-based and offers masses of pump black berry, plum, and cherry fruit, with cassis, spice and green pepper flavours coming from the firmer Cabernet.  With its long, smouldering finish, this is an outstanding claret for the money, one that will continue t
