Albis, Haras De Pirque 2020
Marchese Piero discovered this pristine estate in the heart of the Maipo Valley and began a joint venture in 2001 with the owners, before acquiring the whole property in 2017. Albis is the flagship wine from the estate, a beautifully expressive Cabernet with a dash of Chile’s signature Carménère. We've enjoyed several vintages of this charmer and it really offers cracking value for the table. It also has the structure, acidity and depth of fruit for extended cellaring, and the 2020 is the highest-scored release yet with 94 points from James Suckling.
Castellare di Castellina, Chianti Classico Kosher 2019
This is a wonderfully pure and expressive Chianti Classico - bright cherry and red plum aromas lifted by violets and a gentle herbal note, underpinned by subtle spice and soft earthiness. On the palate it’s medium-bodied, lively and harmonious, with fine tannins and a fresh, food-friendly finish that speaks of the stony Galestro soils of Castellina. Castellare di Castellina was born of the union of four estates (Castellare, Caselle, San Niccolò and Le Case) on the initiative of Paolo Panerai, with the aim of producing wine of the best possible quality. This was in the 1970s, when the so-called Renaissance of Italian wine had begun. Castellare has long been known for its dedication to biodiversity (every label features a different endangered bird) and its commitment to traditional Tuscan winemaking with a refined, modern touch. This kosher bottling is a natural extension of the estate’s philosophy: wines of authenticity and sense of place, made to be shared.
