Apiana 2015 (fiano/semillon), Grosset – Organic
£28.95
Jeffrey Grosset is better known for his amazing Rieslings but this Fiano/Semillon blend is also pretty awesome!
It is rich and concentrated with aromas of orange blossom and honeycomb and a long, lingering finish. A unique and captivating wine. A great match for rich fish dishes..halibut with bearnaise sauce or lobster Thermidore would be amazing (if you fancied making that at home…).

Sesti Brunello di Montalcino 2020
Sesti are widely considered one of the finest producers of Brunello di Montalcino, situated at the stunningly beautiful Castello di Argiano. Guiseppi Sesti and his daughter Elisa make an elegant, beguiling style of Brunello; less oaky and tannic than many others. Perfect with any hearty meat dishes, or pasta with meat sauces – Lasagne would be a great match.
‘Bucerchiale’ Chianti Rufina Riserva 2019, Selvapiana
Bucerchiale is the name of Selvapiana’s finest vineyard in the small Rufina zone of Chianti. Organically farmed by the Giuntini family since 1827. 100% Sangiovese but more powerful than the Cepparello; still balanced with great complexity and a fine match for the best steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina…)
Hilltop Shiraz, Clonakilla
Clonakilla are one of Australia’s most iconic Shiraz producers. Their flagship Shiraz/Viognier is amongst the countries best (available on request), however, this wine gives you a real insight into the genius of winemaker Tim Kirk at a fraction of the price. In fact, for drinking now, this wine is more approachable and rewarding than its big brother. Not as big and jammy as Barossa Shiraz, this has a slightly more Rhône-y edge to it, making it much more food friendly in my book. Still juicy and full of delicious dark, spicy fruit but with balance and restraint.
‘Contado’ Aglianico, Di Majo Norante
This organic estate in the small, remote region of Molise in Southern Italy makes truly exceptional wines that are also amazing value. The grape here is Aglianico which produces some of the most famous wines (Taurasi) in neighbouring Campania. Whereas there it makes wines with huge tannic structure, Di Majo Norante produce a softer, more approachable version, whilst retaining the depth and complexity. For the money, I believe this is one of Italy’s best value wines. A great wine for steaks, bbq, roasts, pretty much anything meaty. Delicious.
Soave Classico, Monte Tondo, Veneto, Italy
Beautiful, elegant Soave from a great, family-run, organic estate in the volcanic hills of Veneto. The grape variety here is Garganega, and this is an expression with great precision of flavour. Unoaked, light and elegant, it is a very versatile food wine; a great match for all light pasta dishes, salads or simply grilled fish.
Piceno ‘Bacchus’, Ciu Ciu
From the Marche region of central Italy, Ciu Ciu is a lovely organic producer who make really characterful wines at a great price. This blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano is rich, intense and juicy and a great wine to have at hand to accompany everyday Italian dishes – pasta and meat sauces and pizza!
