Aroma: The sweetness arrives first to the nose with scents of blackberry and strawberry jam, revealing vanilla and cinnamon Taste: Warm and sweet, soft and intense The tannins work to balance the sugars and leave the palate cleansed, ready for another taste

Deep - yet transparent - red Fantastically concentrated fruit and savoury aromas: rose hip, cider apple, roasted chestnut, leather, woodsmoke, fenugreek, curry plant and just a hint of the tar character, for which Nebbiolo is well-known How is it than when your mouth encloses a sip of this wine, that its warm richness seems to surround your entire being? A wonder! Beautiful succulence and refinement of texture, giving the impression of maturity, since the tannin is so exquisitely velvety Extremely impressive, this could be kept a decade or longer, however it is rather delicious already

A singular, exceptional plot at 400 metres elevation on the Castello Nipozzano estate, Montesodi became the first Chianti Rufina 'Cru' in 1974 The wine has a beautifully clear ruby-red colour, and a bouquet redolent of cherries and strawberries, with rosehip, violet, clove and black pepper, and a mellow mature character The elegance and silky-smooth quality of the tannins on the palate is absolutely incredible, and the finish is long and persistent This may be enjoyed immediately and over a decade or longer After painstaking work carried out in the Montesodi vineyard, Sangiovese grapes are hand-harvested into 15 kg crates, and then carefully selected, berry by berry for the most perfectly ripe fruit There is a traditional ageing process - first in large (30 hectolitre) Austrian and French oak barrels, and then in bottle

Dusky-deep garnet in colour, this Vespolina has an impressively complex, expressive nose of savoury, earthy, chestnutty, mature notes and subtle, mellowed fruit The palate is deep-flavoured, with lithe balancing acidity and satisfyingly supple yet chewy tannin This remarkable, quintessentially northern Piedmontese red could almost be a far more expensive Barolo, having benefited from several years' careful cellaring The Vespolina variety is closely-related to the noble Nebbiolo, and produces similar-tasting wines Usefully, however, they do not require the same degree of ageing before they are ready to drink

With a deep, dark garnet appearance, the Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico Reserva has a wonderful, mature mellowness of aroma, with subtle, woody, creamy, butterscotch nuances Beautiful, rounded juiciness on the palate, with rich, velvety texture, fresh acidity and complex layers of flavour This is excellent

Setting expectations of intensity and concentration with its dense, dark and bloody appearance, this phenomenal wine goes on to more than meet them, with its huge force of personality It has incredibly deep, rich and complex aromas of prune, fig, and date, following up on the palate with molasses, fig syrup, carob bean, malt extract and toasted wheat Everything about this wine is off the charts - wow!
