Jim Barry The Benbournie 2021
Benbournie was settled in 1853 and today, ancient vines, fig and almond trees remain. Berry, mocha, herb and cedar notes have a little savoury minerality; fine tannins help it improve with age
Marchesi Antinori, La Braccesca Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Riserva Vigneto Santa Pia 2018
Just a mile away from the city of Montepulciano, near the border between Tuscany and neighbouring Umbria, La Braccesca, an Antinori property since 1990, is situated in two very close, but entirely different, zones: the classic and prestigious area of Vino Nobile, and Cortona, which has made a name for itself for Syrah. Santa Pia is produced from a 15-hectare (37 acres) vineyard located on the ridges just below the town of Montepulciano. This particular area has sandy loamy soils rich in rocky deposits known as “scheletro” that allow Antinori to create an elegant yet traditional expression of the Sangiovese grape that reflects the characteristics of this historic winemaking area.
