2020 Barolo 'Serralunga' DOCG
Usually $109
Special Offer $99
"A blend of Margheria, Marenca, Rivette and Sorano crus , the Barolo ‘Serralunga’ in recent times has had the maceration/fermentation time slowed down to 2 weeks to allow for a more gradual and integrated process – all four Baroli are made this way. Once complete, the wine is moved into 25 hectolitre aged barrels for a minimum of 2 years, then rested for an additional year or two (depending on the vintage) before being released to the market. The most approachable of the four Baroli, this is a symphony of elements: porcini, smoke, cola, cherry and spices."

"Bright pale ruby with a garnet rim, this wine exhibits aromas of smashed violets, blood oranges, cinnamon and balsamic. The palate is soft and refined, full-bodied, with elegant tannins and lifted long acidity. Great tension. Drinkable now, but best from 2034."

2020 Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' DOCG
Usually $275
Special Offer $249
"In recent times, Vigna Rionda gets spoken about as the grand cru of the Langhe – altitude, exposure and soil profile play an integral part. As expected, this is Giampaolo’s flagship wine. The oak regime is similar to the ‘Marenca’ but with a larger portion of newer oak – around 30%. Ultra-powerful and layered in fragrances, flavours and textures. Smoke, graphite, incense, stock/porcini, sweet tobacco, violets. All this character is underpinned by a fierce, tingling acid line and a complementary sturdy structure."

Rie et Hirofumi Shoji (Pedres Blanques)
|
|
"When anyone thinks about the southern French region of Roussillon it is probably not about what’s happening in Roussillon today, which is a revolutionary shift toward fresh, mineral dry wines, some of France’s very best... These are wines that a full of character and when you add the talent of Hiro and Rié the result is elegance and finesse; in short, wonderful wines."

2022 Vin de France 'Pedres Blanques'
Extremely Limited $215
Also Available in Magnum
Extremely Limited $429
"This is mostly Grenache from head pruned bush vines vines of about 50 years of age planted over the granite and schist soils of the Collioure at around 300 metres above sea level. Like at Clos du Rouge Gorge the grapes were fermented as whole bunches in cuve for around a month then pressed and fed by gravity into old foudres. for 2022, again, Hiro has extended elevage to 18 months which has rendered a fabulous wine in every sense. It is a mountain wine - subtle and perfumed black fruit, flowers, graphite and minerals lead into a palate that is a lace and wonder, they have only made three vintages, this is a young estate but I feel this is the best so far."
