Antonio Camillo Ciliegiolo 2023Antonio Camillo was born and bred in the Maremma region along Tuscany’s Tyrrhenian coast. He chose his homeland, specifically the area of the Maremma alta, to make wines “that can talk about their terroir and that can be easily recognizable for their character and their class”.
Antonio chose to work primarily with Ciliegiolo – ciliegia means cherry – an ancient variety genetically related to Sangiovese that was often used in Tuscany as a blending component for its cherry scented vibrant fruit. Antonio believed in the grape in its own right and set about searching for old vine vineyards, eventually purchasing six hectares in Manciano, a medieval town literally just steps from the Saturnia hot springs. These hot springs have been popular since Etruscan times, but wine-wise, it means that the volcanic soil is rich in nutrients.2023CiliegioloItaly495$48.00 As low as $43.20 -
Rafael Palacios Louro 2023
The young, balsamic and still faintly medicinal entry-level white 2023 Louro is dense, ripe and powerful at 13.9% alcohol, pungent and intense with a bitter twist in the finish. It’s very tasty, almost salty, with cleanliness and precision, combining power with freshness and elegance. This is quite impressive and a preview of the rest of the 2023s to come.

Algueira Brandan 2022This crystalline, fleshy Godello comes from a terraced vineyard that lies on the cooler, north facing. Fermented with natural yeasts only and aged entirely without oak, it's a layered, fleshy Godello with vibrant citrus, white peach fruit and a round, juicy personality. It's a quality born of a special place, precise, low-yield viticulture and traditional, low-input winemaking.

Mengoba Godello sobre lias 2021This wine fermented with wild yeast in wooden foudre and was raised for 10 months on fine lees in two 4,000-litre oval wooden vats.
The aging is longer and less reductive than for its younger sibling, which only seems to enhance the sense of smoky minerality—a reflection of the slate and calcareous soil in which the vines grow. It is a complex and stimulating mountain white that is, by turns, grapefruity, fleshy, powdery and savoury. The finish throws up deep, earthy mineral notes and perfumed, mouth-watering length. Again, it packs in much bang for your buck.2021GodelloSpain355$61.00 As low as $54.90 -

On Champagne: A Tapestry of Tales to Celebrate the Greatest Sparkling Wine of All"Sorry to add to the shopping list, but if you love Champagne, this is another must-buy. And apologies for the terrible pun, but it is genuinely true - this book fizzes with wonderful stuff." TAMLYN CURRIN, jancisrobinson.com
Hardback, 279 pages, published 2022
On Champagne brings together a compendium of thoughts, opinions and conclusions of the world's finest Champagne writers under a single roof. Eight sections divide 41 essays into themes including the brands, styles, history (the 'Eleven eras of champagne'), terroir, innovation and the future (from Sherman tanks to spaceships). Complied and edited by the richly talented Susan Keevil, the essays-written between 1882 and 2022-weave together a tapestry of tales presenting the reader with a vivid and multi-layered collage of the region.
It's a journey that starts and ends with capturing that sparkle in a bottle and, along the way, tutors us with the nuances of its chalky terrain, the determination of rebels from Ambonnay to Avize, and the mystery of a Champagne cellar under the sea. We meet the pioneers who created the great Champagnes of the past and the personalities who are greening this landscape, nurturing it through climate change to shape the exquisite Champagnes of the future. Bringing levity, the compendium's heavyweight narrative is punctuated by historical essays such as Evelyn Waugh's Fizz, Bubbly, Pop in the Swinging Sixties ("Gruesome attempts have been made in New Jersey to produce an equivalent"). Simply, On Champagne is an essential volume for every Champagne lover's bookshelf.
Contributors include Tom Stevenson, Essi Avellan MW, Hugh Johnson, Serena Sutcliffe MW, Peter Liem, Tyson Stelzer, Andrew Jefford and Robert Walters, with the 'modern era' welcomed in by Evelyn Waugh
