Michele Biancardi, Primitivo Puro, IGT Puglia, 2022
As the name implies, 100% Primitivo. Such a seductive wine – flamboyant colour; a flagrant fruit cocktail of fresh strawberries, red cherries, blackcurrants and blueberries; plus notes of liquorice, spice and pepper. Juicy enough to drink on its own yet with plenty of concentration for food. Gorgeous vitality and punch. Now-2026

Fiorano, Terre di Giobbe, Rosso Piceno Superiore, 2020
80% Montepulciano and 20% Sangiovese, aged in old French oak barrels. By far the best vintage we have ever tasted: rich and fleshy, with vigorous raspberry, blueberry and blackcurrant flavours, but also aromatic. Intense without being overpowering. a red for venison or strongly spiced sausages. Now-2029

Cossignano, Marche, Italy
We started working with Paolo Beretta (formerly a dentist) and Paola Massi (a research pharmacologist) in 2015, with immediate success.
Their wines exemplify perfectly the virtues of small-scale - they tend just 10 hectares of vines - organic cultivation. All exhibit an entrancing purity of fruit, and all are bottled with minimal sulphur...

Taliano, Barbera d'Alba, A Bon Rendre, 2022
A bon rendre - it delivers you goodness. About 1/3 of the wine is aged in old vats. Lovely purple hue. This is crafted in a supple, easy-drinking style, with forward and pretty raspberry and curranty fruit, attractively pulpy, with just a nudge of tannin. A crowd-pleaser. Now-2026

Michele Taliano
Montà d'Alba, Italy
The brothers Alberto and Ezio Taliano, third-generation growers, lack land in the grandest Piedmont sites, with 13 hectares assembled over quite a wide area, largely in Roero, which is just to the north of the river Tanaro, but also across the river in Langhe, source of their Nebbiolo d’Alba and Barbaresco.
But their wines are transparent,...

Begali, Valpolicella Ripasso, La Cengia, 2021
2/3 Corvina and 1/3 Rondinella, crafted in the Ripasso style by which the wine is left on the skins of the desiccated grapes used after the production of Amarone for about 10-12 days to promote a second fermentation, giving enhanced texture and alcohol. La Cengia is the name of the subzone of Valpolicella where the vineyard for this wine lies.
Such an enticing perfume of sun-warmed, black fruit. Supple, not over-ripe, with lovely freshness and aromatics. Flowers on the palate. Very...

Azienda Agricola Boasso, Langhe Nebbiolo, 2022
Given one year in barrel. Youthful tone. Scent of red berries with vanilla. Juicy strawberry heart, showing proper grip, but just expands impressively in the mouth. Yes there’s a tannic backbone, but also a bucket of ripe strawberry fruit. If you can’t drink Barolo often then this is an authentic and impressive substitute from a Barolo producer. Now-2028
