Familia Nin-Ortiz, Priorat Planetes De Nin 2016
Família Nin Ortiz are among Priorat's quieter obsessives - working tiny parcels of old-vine Grenache and Carignan on the region's famous llicorella schist, and doing very little else besides letting the land speak. Planetes de Nin is their entry point into that conversation, but don't be misled by the positioning: this is a serious, structured red with real depth and an almost iron-willed grip that is pure Priorat. Think dark fruit pressed hard against volcanic rock, with dried wild herbs and a finish that seems to drag slate along with it. The 2016 vintage in Priorat was one of the more balanced in recent memory - enough warmth for ripeness, enough freshness to keep the wine from tipping into excess.
Patrizia Cencioni, Brunello Di Montalcino 2018
Patrizia Cencioni crafts this Brunello from her small estate in Montalcino, where traditional winemaking meets careful attention to detail. This 2018 shows the classic Sangiovese character we love in Brunello: that interplay between dark cherry fruit and the earthy, mineral backbone that comes from the region's galestro and alberese soils. Eight years on, this wine has found its stride. The tannins have softened without losing their structure, and the secondary complexity is beginning to emerge alongside the primary fruit.
