Orlando Abrigo Meruzzano
Orlando Abrigo Meruzzano Barbaresco DOCG Ruby red in colour with an elegant bouquet of sweet and sour cherries. Well-balanced with good acidity, this wine will age nicely, but is also ready to consume upon release. The fruit for this Barbaresco (100% Nebbiolo) is sourced from the Meruzzano Me. GA (Italian equivalent of a French Cru) is the second largest cru in the Barbaresco growing area. The vineyards are between 15 and 25 years old, and produce a wine which is fresh and fruity right from the outset, with tannins that are fine and immediately noble.

Traviarti Mezzo Nebbiolo
Pretty and ethereal with classic Nebbiolo 'light on their feet' fruit characteristics, coupled with a fine tannin structure. This Beechworth Nebbiolo is structured and approachable with herbal aromas and flavours of red cherries and spice.
Cascina Ghercina Langhe Nebbiolo
The nebbiolo grape has declined in this D.O.C. Langhe to exalt the peculiarities of the hills and bring some tradition on to tables. A young wine, but at the same time important, where the tannins with delicate softness and spicy aromas inebriate the nose, also recalling vanilla and caramelized notes. A wine that make every day a bit more special. Cascina Ghercina Langhe Nebbiolo 2016 vintage is a light ruby red colour. Deceiving to a wine rich in potential. The nose has aromas of spice, hints of hay, and tobacco. Tannins leave a pleasant feeling. Pair this wine with roasts, meats, and soft cheeses.

Heathcote Nebbiolo
Discover the refined elegance of Heathcote Estate Single Vineyard Nebbiolo 2021, a 750mL gem from Victoria’s Heathcote region, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Tom Carson. Sourced from a new vineyard block established in 2017 and certified organic in September 2021, this inaugural Nebbiolo release was hand-picked in mid-April, seven weeks after the Shiraz, allowing extended ripening into autumn. Whole berries underwent natural fermentation in oak vats, followed by maturation in older French oak 500L barrels until bottling in February 2022, yielding a mid-crimson red hue at 14% ABV. The nose is pure Nebbiolo, with uncluttered aromas of pure red fruits, rose petals, cranberry, pomegranate, Campari, and a lick of wet stone. The palate is super fine and detailed, offering pure red fruits, firm tannins, and a fine acid line, finishing long and savoury with notes of undergrowth, cherries, tobacco, and decayed roses. Described as “most impressive” by Campbell Mattinson of The Wine Front, this Nebbiolo pairs beautifully with heavy sauces or flavourful meat dishes like braised lamb, with 10 plus years of cellaring potential. A collector’s treasure showcasing Heathcote’s terroir and organic winemaking.
Vigneti Boveri Giacomo 19 Marzo 1878 Barbera, Colli Tortonesi
The 19 Marzo 1878 Barbera is named for the birthdate of founder Giacomo Boveri’s grandfather, marking the beginning of a family legacy in Colli Tortonesi. This single-vineyard Barbera is grown on steep, limestone-rich slopes in Montemarzino, at an elevation of 300–400m, an area more commonly known for Timorasso but capable of producing structured, age-worthy Barbera. Giacomo Boveri works without the use of irrigation, herbicides, or pesticides. He ferments the wine with native yeasts in stainless steel before maturing it for one year in large Slavonian oak casks. Each vintage showcases a core of sour cherry and black plum, complemented by lifted acidity and fine tannins. Notes of dried herbs and liquorice build with time in the bottle. This is a serious Barbera built on freshness, not fatness, and sits closer in style to the wines of Alba than Asti. A clear expression of terroir, history and hands-on winemaking in a corner of Piedmont still largely undiscovered.
