Kalfu Sumpai Syrah 2017
A deep violet red, medium volume in the mouth with crisp acidity and great freshness. The round, firm tannins underpin a gentle, elegant background of French oak in which spices intermingle with herbs. The grapes were 100% hand-harvested. Prior to fermentation, the must underwent a cold maceration for a period of 7 days. Once the alcoholic fermentation was underway, gentle extraction took place. The wine was then aged in Burgundian French oak barrels for 12 months; 15% new, 25% second use and the remaining 60% were third or fourth use.

Poggio Argentiera, Maremmante Rosso 2019
Poggio Argentiera was founded in 1997 with the purchase of the Adua farm, a property which went back to the early 20th century when the Maremma marshes began to be drained, today the winery owns over 50 acres (21 hectares) of vineyards all in the Morellino di Scansano appellation. Their philosophy combines the work in the vineyard with the utmost respect for the vine and its production cycle and, starting from 2009, the management of the entire Estate has been converted following the principles and practices of organic agriculture and farming, with the objective of researching perfect balance between the vines and the surrounding environment. "Red fruit and violets. Complex, dusky nose, combination of sweet red fruits – cherries and plums, with peppery darker notes and dry spice – cardamom pods and sandalwood. Palate is juicy and taut, with nice purity and zest to the fruit, literally – notes of orange peel jostle with red and sour cherries and spiced plums, and there is tobaccic quality to the salty tannins. Very accomplished winemaking at this level – the quality of fruit from the Baccinello vineyard really seems to shine." Tom Harrow, Wine Guru
