Description

Italian wine industry has seen a revolutionary change in the way they do things. There are now wines that truly reflect what unique varieties, and the country's extraordinary terroir, can really do.

We have curated an Italian wine collectors dream, with 3 distinct labels that will perform beautifully now or in a few years after being cellared. 

Collection Includes:

2 x Ornellaia La Grazia Bolgheri Superiore 2018 (Italy)

AWARDED 97/100 POINTS: James Suckling, 2021

AWARDED 97/100 POINTS: Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 2021

"With its usual deep ruby-red colour, Ornellaia 2018 features a lively and intense aromatic expression, a distinctive mark of the vintage. Red fruits, citrus notes, hints of liquorice and Mediterranean scrub combine to form its profile. With the first taste it is enveloping and all its components well-balanced: the tannins, both dense and silky in texture, fill the palate with elegance and precision. The finish is lifted by a distinct tangy vein that enhances the sensation of freshness and persistence" Olga Fusari, Winemaker, Jul 2020

Alc: 14%

2 x Castellare Di Castellina I Sodi Di S. Niccoló 2017 (Italy)

AWARDED 98/100 POINTS: Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 2021

AWARDED 97/100 POINTS: Robert Parker, 2021

AWARDED 96/100 POINTS: James Suckling, 2021

AWARDED 96/100 POINTS: Wine Spectator, 2021

Intense ruby red color and with a great olfactory concentration, thanks to the presence of a ripe red fruit that leads to notes of jam, spices, vanilla and licorice. In the mouth the wine is characterized by a dense and elegant texture, also supported by the important acidity of the Sangiovese, the tannins are absolutely sweet and the finish is long and of great persistence.

Alc: 14%

2 x Argentiera DOC Bolgheri Superiore 2017 (Italy)

AWARDED 97/100 POINTS: Falstaff, Aug 2020

AWARDED 17.5+/20 POINTS: Jancis Robinson, Jul 2020

Argentiera, Doc Bolgheri Superiore, draws its strength and uniqueness from the magnificent territory in which it’s generated. The grapes come from the estate’s best vineyards of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is a wine with a rich and silky taste. A long maturation in French oak barrels, the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the unique terroir of Tenuta Argentiera make this wine on of the greatest expressions in the Bolgheri area.

Alc: 14.5%
