Please ask for a quotation for highlands and islands, transfers to another bonded warehouse and for international transfers.

2018 Giovanni Almondo, Roero, Bric Valdiana 6x75cl
The Almondo family have been in Piedmont for the past 600 years, yet their foray into winemaking only dates to 1980 when Domenico came up with an ambitious plan to create top quality wine from their... family vineyard. The result is superb, and the Roero Bric is a Nebbiolo-based red cuvée that will age beautifully and represents a stunning value alternative to the more famous names across the Tanaro river, Barbaresco or Barolo. The 2021 exhibits tell-tale floral and sweet yet crunchy red cherry aromatics, with hints of peppery spice. Lovely mouthfill and power, this is very pleasant now and will improve for the next 5 to 7 years. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2018 Enzo Boglietti, Barolo, Case Nere 6x75cl
Bright ruby colour. Alluring aromatics of red fruit, liquorice and some mineral notes. Classically
structured with an exquisite density, the tannins are beautifully evident but fine and very pleasant. The clay portion of the soil is responsible for the robust structure while the clay patches provide for the freshness and balance of aromas.

2019 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco, Asili 6x75cl
"Most approachable, even at this early stage. Yet the Asili Barbaresco shows mightily impressive depth of flavour for a cuvée that is all about delicacy and elegance. No doubt this is courtesy of... the naturally limited yields of the 2019 growing season, and the fleshy texture brings a level of opulence that befits this cuvée beautifully. Pretty gorgeous stuff… " Mr Wheeler Wine Tasting Note
£950 / Case£158.33 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2016 Rizzi, Barbaresco, Pajore 6x75cl
"Treiso. Tasted blind. Mid to deep ruby with orange tinges. Concentrated, complex nose with hints of cardamom and nutmeg. Elegant, lively fruit followed by bags of coating, bitter-sweet tannins that... are still a little tough and with marked acidity on the finish, but this has the bones for ageing." 17.5pts., Walter Speller, jancisrobinson.com, 14/5/2019

2009 Enzo Boglietti, Barolo, Case Nere 6x75cl
"Good deep red. Very ripe, high-toned aromas of mocha, coffee and cocoa powder; slightly porty. Then sweet, very ripe and rather easygoing in the mouth, with a wild musky quality enlivened by notes of herbs, clove and pine needles. Fairly oaky Barolo but sweet and pliant, even silky." 90 pts., Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com

2018 Elvio Cogno, Barolo, Cascina Nuova 6x75cl
"“The 2018 Barolo Cascina Nuova is fine-tuned with plenty of wild berry, cassis, grilled herb and crushed stone. The aromas are quite classic for Nebbiolo, but what stands out here is the... directness and freshness with which they are delivered. The tannins are tucked carefully inside the smooth, silky character of this elegant wine. 20,000 bottles were produced.” 93 pts., Monica Larner, robertparker.com

2012 Prunotto, Barolo, Bussia Colonnello Riserva 6x75cl
"The 2012 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello is an intriguing wine. Whole clusters add an exotic element of perfume to the Nebbiolo fruit in this expressive, highly nuanced Barolo. Orange peel,... mint, sage and pine overtones all emerge with time in the glass. Understated and also persistent, the 2012 has quite a bit of personality." Antonio Galloni, vinous.com

2018 G.D. Vajra, Barolo, Albe 6x75cl
"Lovely Nebbiolo aromas of rose, violet, red berry and botanical herb shape the fragrant nose. Smooth and savory, the elegant palate features juicy red cherry, crushed raspberry and cake spice... alongside polished tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. It's already drinking beautifully but also promises years of pleasure. Enjoy through 2030." 94 pts., Kerin O'Keefe, 9/1/2022

2020 Elvio Cogno, Barbera d’Alba, Pre-Phylloxera 6x75cl
“It has a dark, brilliant ruby red color with intense violet reflections. The aromas are enveloping, harmonious and deep, with evident spicy notes at the first impact and fruity notes of raspberry,... strawberry and ripe cherry. Pleasant harmonies of wildflowers on the finish. In the mouth the wine has a great structure, fresh and with excellent acidity and great balance, with an enveloping tannic texture, with flavors that recall black cherry, blackberry and plum.” (Winemaker's tasting note)

2013 Enzo Boglietti, Barolo, Brunate 6x75cl
"Bright ruby colour with a light orange hue. Delicate fragrances of violets, aromatic herbs, dark fruit and sweet spice are intriguing and refined. Composed and finely structured the palate... replicates the
complexity of the bouquet. Silky tannins and a bright acidity lead to a lengthy finale. A Barolo of superb austerity and elegance." Enzo Boglietti Tasting Note
