La Giaretta, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2021
Made from hand-harvested Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes grown in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone, La Giaretta's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is produced using the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are dried for several months to concentrate their flavours. Great care is taken with the vines - the vineyards look a little bit more like gardens. The selection of grapes for the Amarone come from vines planted 30-40 years ago using the region’s old Pergola Veronese system. Owners Francesco and Francesca use only small oak barrels to age the wines "It's pure Black Forest Gateaux in the mouth with edges of cedar and a wonderful whack of creamy oak on the finish. Fine tannins, great structure and a lush quality to it. Once you've tried this wine you will be hooked!" Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru Its elegance and strong character make this wine a fantastic gift.
Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Bas Liards, Pierre Meurgey 2019

Pierre, known for crafting high-quality wines that are designed to age well, is definitely also a winemaker to watch. His Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Bas Liards is a well-made Burgundy with good aging potential.
