Piedmont: New Releases

Something of a cross between Gamay and Syrah, this Fumin is such a lovely wine. Peppery on the nose, with plenty of red berries, and then also a fine thread of acidity, this is perfect to enjoy now, slightly chilled. But don’t underestimate its ageing potential.

This is such a brilliant white from one of our favourite producers. There’s notes of peach and a subtle floral character, but what is particularly striking is the level of minerality here. This has incredible salinity, and a finish that lasts for ages. This will age well too: you should bury a few bottles in the cellar.

From a single vineyard, first produced in 2016, this is the pinnacle of Ottin’s production. It’s spicy, with notes of cinnamon and clove, and then also a core of dark fruit, with real purity and freshness. This would not look out of place in Burgundy.
