  1. Petilia Fiano d'Avellino 2019
    Petilia Fiano d'Avellino 2019

    Siblings Roberto and Teresa Bruno property is 20 hectares of vineyards planted to a range of classic regional varietals. The vineyards sit at elevations of 400 - 650 meters and are scattered amongst the towns of Arpaise, Lapio, Candida, Chianche and Altavilla Irpinia. Roberto has been the driving force behind the estate and has been in charge of the winemaking since its inception.

    These are wonderfully classic expressions of the region that embrace a modern approach to winemaking which at its heart respects the long traditions and history of Campania.

    A touch of spicyness over a tropical citrushit complemented by sweet florals. Apple and tree fruit in a silky and lush frame gives way to some peach and minerals salt, quartzy thing going on. Love the sweet fruit and salty tang this comes at you with and some nice zip of crisp acidity keeps it fresh and vibrant.

  2. Petilia APE Fiano d'Avellino 2016
    Petilia APE Fiano d'Avellino 2016
    Ape means "bee" in Italian and maybe it is the power of suggestion, but I taste a lot of honey on the bouquet here. The 2016 Fiano di Avellino Ape opens to a deep, off-gold color and the semblance of thick concentration. The wine delivers ample beeswax and honey that gives the bouquet a rather heavy and rich personality. Indeed, that concentration is almost too much in my opinion. Thick aromas of dried apricot and peach are followed by exotic spice and even a touch of cinnamon. MONICA LARNER

    This comes from Chianche in Montefalcione. Destemmed and fermented on the skins at a very low temperature with 6 months on fine lees. It offers a myriad of sensations with hints of white flowers, pear, the unmistakable touch of toasted hazelnut. There is some nice phenolic grip on the palate from the time on skins and the rich fruit is kept in check finishing on a racy note.

  3. Correggia Roero Arneis 2021 (Screwcap)
    Correggia Roero Arneis 2021 (Screwcap)

    The Correggia family are a small yet formidable force in the sandy soils of Roero, just west of the Tanaro River in Piedmont. After the tragic death of her husband, Ornella with help from friends propelled the wines of Matteo Correggia to even greater heights. She is now flanked by her children Giovanni and Brigitta and the wines have never looked better.

    Fragrant aromas of white flowers, citrus and pear on the nose lead into a finely textured palate. Hints of sweet almond arise. Its fresh and tingly finish with a fine phenolic chew carrying the orchard fruits into a long gentle close. GABRIELLE POY, PWS

  4. Benanti Etna Bianco 2021
    Benanti Etna Bianco 2021
    100% Carricante grown on bush vines at 900-1000 metres above sea level. Grapes selected from vineyards located on the Eastern and Southern slopes of Mount Etna. Fermentation lasts 12 days and takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 18°C, with the aid of Benanti’s own indigenous yeast, which was selected from local vineyards through years of research and experimentation in the celllar. The wine then matures in stainless steel on the fine lees for a while and then refines in the bottle for 2-3 months.

  5. Ronchi di Cialla Ciallabianco 2018
    Ronchi di Cialla Ciallabianco 2018
    The 2018 Cialla Bianco is smoky, wafting up with dusty chalk and musky notes of peach and pear. This gains a confectionary melon note with time in the glass. It’s texturally deep with cooling acids and mineral-tinged melon, while it soothes yet also stimulates the palate. The 2018 tapers off dry and lightly structured, yet also refreshing and long, leaving a hint of sour citrus and a lingering salty sensation. Lose this in the cellar for three to five years. The Ciallabianco is a blend of 65% Ribolla Gialla, 25% Picolit and 10% Verduzzo from 50-year-old vines. ERIC GUIDO

  6. Ronchi di Cialla Picolit Cialla 2015 500ml
    Ronchi di Cialla Picolit Cialla 2015 500ml
    Half of the grapes are late-harvested at the end of October with more or less consistent development of the Noble Rot; the other half is left to dry on the vine. Spontaneous fermentation of the must in French oak barrels and subsequent maturation in the same barrels for at least 20 months. Additional 24 months of ageing in bottle. Suitable for very long ageing; particular vintages can age over 40 years. RONCHI DI CIALLA

  7. Suavia Soave Le Rive 2019
    Suavia Soave Le Rive 2019
    There is real flesh on these bones. Honestly, for a wine with this kind of punchy fruit and weight it's remarkably light on it's feet. It bursts on to the palate with an array of orchard fruits that hold a faint waft of the exotic. So long and juicy feeling as it fills the mouth that it's positively ebullient. The extra weight and dimension, as well as that lick of something you may find in a fresh fruit market in Thailand, comes from the slight drying process, but that also leaves you with more acidity, the combination is just so good. This is gorgeous. Fleshy, beautifully fruited, very long and so fresh. It will age a decade or more if you want to put it away, I would think you should leave it for a few years at least. ROSCOE

  8. Tornatore Etna Bianco DOC 2021
    Tornatore Etna Bianco DOC 2021

    A perfumed white, with white blossoms and ripe fruit on the nose, this is saline and mouth-watering on the palate. Offers a touch of lemon zest enlivening flavors of Asian pear, blanched almond and chamomile. WINE SPECTATOR

    Aromas of white peach, orange peel and crushed thyme. Medium-bodied. Steady and bright on the palate. Subtle, smoky flavor mixes well with fresh and dried-herb notes. JAMES SUCKLING

  9. Pieropan C5 Calvarino
    Pieropan C5 Calvarino
    A new wine from Pieropan, this blend of five vintages – 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 – celebrates the five years it took to build the estate's new winery. Aged on the lees in cement... It's bursting with ash, stone, melon, peach, papaya and pineapple aromas. Intense and chiselled, there’s a prominent mineral character here, joined by juicy exotic fruits and aromatic floral notes. A big wash of fresh, saline acidity runs through the core, taking it to a very long, elegant, lifted conclusion. JAMES BUTTON, Decanter

  10. Feudo Montoni Grillo Timpa 2021
    Feudo Montoni Grillo Timpa 2021
    The most succulent ripe peach aromas complemented by hints of tangerine and fresh mint waft up from the 2021 Grillo Timpa. It is round and fleshy in feel, with sweet inner florals up front that give way to tropical melon and exotic spice. While a bit extroverted in character, there's plenty of stimulating acidity and sour citrus tones within to maintain fabulous balance. The 2021 leaves the palate completely refreshed with hints of kiwi and lime zest that linger. This really packs a punch, yet it never gets cloying or tiring. ERIC GUIDO, vinous.com

  11. Tenuta Aglaea 'Lucifer' Bianco Sicilia IGT 2020
    Tenuta Aglaea 'Lucifer' Bianco Sicilia IGT 2020
    A field blend of originally planted varieties of grecanico, cataratto, minella and carricante are harvested manually from old vines, some that are up to almost 100 years old. They sit in her prized Santa Spirito vineyard but due to the infamous Italian bureaucracy, the site is only designated for DOCG for red wines, so despite the age and quality of these incredible old bush vines she is only able to label the wine as an IGT. All steel tank ferment with some cold soaking to draw out texture and weight.

    Fresh, mineral and saline and in a juicy style that opens with green apple nuances, bright stone fruits, light tropical notes and a hint of pineapple, and citrus pith. It's textural, fleshy, and tight. Salty and minerally, white pepper notes emboss the bright fruit profile. Delicate but at once vibrant and punchy. What a summer treat!

    These are wonderfully classic expressions of the region that embrace a modern approach to winemaking which at its heart respects the long traditions and history of Campania.

    The high altitude vineyards this grows on lend a gentle floral lift, lemon blossom and lime leaf to the easy going and salt flecked nose. A touch of first season nectarine, a little citrus blend, some stoney minerality that splices the palate together nicely and fresh snap with some pithy phenolics that make it a perfect food wine. Not too heavy, not too light.

  13. Monte Ronca Colle Marianna Soave 2021
    Monte Ronca Colle Marianna Soave 2021
    Made from 100% Garganega planted in the basalt vineyards of Monte Calvarino. The fruit was picked at the end of September, crushed and fermented in 85% stainless steel and 15% large-format casks. At 450 metres, Garganega can only just reach ripeness, so this is where a small amount of appassimento fruit works well (around 10%) to add flavour and texture while holding its cooler structure. The wine is charmingly floral on the nose, with notes of peach and green almond. On the palate, the wine is textural and juicy with citrus, stone fruit, minerals and a touch of spice.
