The 2015 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Mondoca shows extra intensity and complexity with a quick assembly of wild fruit

‘Very smooth and delightfully fruity - creamy blackberries and elderberries

Altanza, Rioja Crianza 375 ml half bottle 2021 Birthday Mas Vilella is a sixteenth-centuryIntense red colour with fresh, healthy fruit aromas and a hint of oak. Well rounded on the palate, this aromatic red has ripe concentration, with notes of black cherry, blackberry, liquorice and tobacco. The firm tannins fade into a long, spicy finish. Vinified in stainless steel tanks before a light oaking (twelve months) in French and American barrels. Good with all sorts of food, this is a superb match for barbecued meats, roast lamb, and kebabs.
