Italy

Big, bold Bolgheri red that makes you get why Sassicaia is a best-seller. The 2021 vintage comes in hot with blackcurrant, cherry, cedar and that savoury Tuscan edge, plus firm tannins that keep it tight and food-friendly. Cabernet-led, Super Tuscan energy, zero fluff!

Big, brooding Tuscan red that turns a “nice dinner” into an occasion. This Bolgheri icon is a best-seller for a reason, it packs dark cassis, black cherry, cedar and that pencil-shaving savoury edge that makes you keep going back for another smell. Vintage 2020 brings serious structure and energy, with tannins that feel built for the long game. Italian fine wine, but with swagger.
