  • 2020 Barolo ‘Patres’, San Silvestro Red Wine

    2020 Barolo ‘Patres’, San Silvestro

    £2950

    A stylish and traditionally styled Barolo, with expressive aromas of dried fruit, roses and tar. The deep fruits are layered with earthy minerality on the smooth and mouth-filling palate and sweet tannins weave through to a very long, elegant finish.

    The name ‘Nebbiolo’ comes from one of two schools of thought: some believe as the harvest of Nebbiolo usually occurs in October, when foggy weather is common, it takes the name from ‘nebbia’ meaning ‘fog’; however, others believe the name is derived from the presence of ‘pruina’, a substance which gives the appearance of a foggy haze on the berry’s skin. The Nebbiolo vines are grown in the northern Italian region of Piedmont, where the climate is continental and is tempered by the Tanaro River and its tributaries. Grown in marl clay and sand soils, the late-ripening variety is usually harvested in early October.

  • Zalto Burgundy Glass Wine Republic Heros Red Wine

    Zalto Burgundy Glass

    £4000

    This is a must-have glass for any serious wine drinker and without doubt our favourite glass here at Wine Republic.  It really excels with expressive, perfumed wines such as Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo but we also think it is a brilliant glass for Chardonnay and Viognier.

    The Zalto Burgundy glass is the widest of all of the Zalto glasses and in turn, has the largest surface area thus allowing for rapid aeration.  The shape of the bowl is the key to making this glass world-leading, it allows those delicate flavours and aromas to be maximised. The narrow rim and straight edges hold these aromas within the glass allowing for maximum appreciation of the aromas of your chosen wine.   Over the years of using this glass, we have noticed it accentuates spice, berry and floral characteristics of the wine.

  • 2019 Barolo, Giacomo Fenocchio Red Wine

    2019 Barolo, Giacomo Fenocchio

    £4500

    We love the Barolos from Giacoma Fenocchio because they are so drinkable upon release – which is a much-overlooked virtue as not everyone wants to wait 10 years to drink their wine. The good news is if that’s your thing, then Fennocchio Barolo’s are excellent for medium-term cellaring.

    This 2019 Barolo is Fennocchio’s introduction to his Barolo’s and the wineries’ style.  Made from 100% Nebbiolo sourced from twenty-year-old vines planted in the Monteforte d’Alba region. Made using traditional methods and ageing for 30 months in large Slovenian oak casks, in the glass, the wine has a deep ruby colour with an intense ethereal bouquet with flavours of liquorice and wild rose alongside the warm and spicy aromas.

  • 2018 Barolo Tortoniano, Michele Chiarlo Red Wine

    2018 Barolo Tortoniano, Michele Chiarlo

    £4950

    This magnificent Barolo is a complex and full-bodied wine with inviting aromas of deep fruits, rose petals, juniper berries and a hint of fine spice. The palate shows a wonderful harmony, with silky tannins and remarkable elegance and persistence.

    The vineyard sits on a southeast to southwesterly orientation and the vines are trained according to the Guyot method. The vines are thinned during the summer months to control the health and vigour of the vine. The soils are from the Tortonian geological area of La Mora and Barolo, which is characterised by sedimentary clay and Sant’Agata marl interspersed with grey-blue sandstone. A significant presence of microelements specifically magnesium and manganese enhance the soil’s complexity. The grapes are manually harvested at optimum maturity.

  • 2019 Barbaresco Asili, Bruno GiacosaRed Wine

    2019 Barbaresco Asili, Bruno Giacosa

    £21500

    Bruno Giacosa is considered to be one of Piedmont’s most highly regarded producers, their wines are some of the most highly sought after in the world.

    The great man passed away in 2018 but since 2011 winemaking has been overseen by his protegé Dante Scaglione, together with his daughter Bruna Giacosa.

    Asili represents one of the most important and celebrated single vineyards of Barbaresco – a magical combination of muscle and refinement.  Bruno Giacosa purchased vineyards in Asili in the 1980s, which now total 2.5 hectares.

    This 2019 is a seriously exciting vintage. Boasting noteworthy power and persuasive elegance, the 2019 has pure, crystalline palate with a silky but firm body. Notes of raspberry and wild strawberry with floral tones are found on the nose. On the palate, good structure is matched with freshness of fruit and fine tannins.  Drink 2024-2034.
