1x Villa Spinosa Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico DOCG Red Blend 2021
Red — Red Blend
Veneto — Italy
If you've never had a proper Amarone, buckle up. This is one of Italy's most dramatic, most labour-intensive, most genuinely awe-inspiring wines — made by drying harvested grapes for months until they're concentrated, intensified versions of themselves, then fermenting them into something rich, complex and completely unlike anything else in the wine world. It takes years to make. It shows. This particular one is a seriously good example of the style. From three highly regarded vineyard sites in the Valpolicella hills, with only 2,000 bottles produced each year, this is Amarone made with real care and restraint. On the nose it's all marasca cherry, dried fig, balsamic herbs and sweet spice - the kind of complexity that keeps revealing itself the longer it sits in the glass. The palate is structured and generous without being heavy-handed, with silky tannins, a lively backbone of acidity keeping everything in check, and a finish that doesn't want to leave. Three years of ageing - French oak, Slavonian oak, then bottle - before it even sees the light of day. You can taste every bit of that patience.
You'd pay $120 full price.

1x Villa Spinosa 'Jago' Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC Red Blend 2022
Red — Red Blend
Veneto — Italy
The Ripasso technique is one of Italy's great winemaking secrets - after Amarone finishes fermentation, the leftover grape skins (still loaded with flavour, tannin and character) get introduced to a fresh batch of Valpolicella. The result is a wine with significantly more depth, body and complexity than a straight Valpolicella, at a fraction of the price of Amarone. It's one of the best value propositions in all of Italian wine and Villa Spinosa do it as well as anyone. The Jago vineyard sits in the heart of Valpolicella Classica - ancient limestone soils, hand-harvested Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, careful oak ageing - and everything about this 2022 shows that attention to detail. Dark cherry, wild red fruits and a whisper of spice on the nose, then a palate that's structured and velvety without ever feeling heavy. Elegant tannins, genuine freshness and a finish with real length. This is the kind of Italian red that makes a Sunday roast feel like a Venetian feast. It also happens to be exactly what you want on a Wednesday when you need something serious in your glass to get through the news.
You'd pay $75 full price.

1x Canneto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Sangiovese 2019
Red — Sangiovese
Tuscany — Italy
If you love Chianti, this is your next obsession. Same noble grape, same Tuscan soul — but Vino Nobile plays in a different league altogether. More structure, more depth, more presence in the glass. Think of it as Chianti's more serious older sibling who's been quietly doing impressive things and now everybody is paying attention. Montepulciano is one of Tuscany's most historic wine towns, and Canneto are one of its most trusted organic producers. The 2019 is exactly what this region does best - ripe red fruits, violet, a hint of coffee and a firm, powdery tannin structure that gives it real backbone without ever feeling heavy-handed. This is a genuinely powerful wine. Not in a knock-you-sideways way, but in a this-is-seriously-well-built way. It's approachable right now with a bit of air - give it a couple of hours in a decanter and it really opens up - but it's also got the bones to reward patience if you can keep your hands off it. Fire up something from the grill, find a good piece of aged cheese, and let Tuscany do the rest.
You'd pay $70 full price.
