We are absolutely delighted to share critic Matthew Jukes glowing reviews of our Italian portfolio from his recent MoneyWeek column. As Jukes notes: The L&S team is extremely adept at sniffing out great value and authentic Italian superstars, and I heartily suggest you taste as many as you can.
While we could not squeeze his fabulous first fifteen into a single box, we have plucked out a handy dozen to make a very exciting mixed case. La Dozzina Italiana comprises a sextet of jaw-dropping beauties for the whites, completed by one electrifying Rosato and five spectacular reds. All of this is available for slightly less than our usual case price, offering a magnificent dive into the finest Italian viticulture.
The Whites:
2025 Pagliatura, Vermentino Toscana, Fattoria di Magliano: A gorgeous, effortlessly classy Vermentino with a zesty, sea-spray palate. It is the ultimate aperitif white.
2024 Friulano Visintini: A bold, juicy, white-pepper-spiked wine with more balance than is typically seen in this variety.
2024 Zuani Bianco: Kaleidoscopic, ever-changing and thrillingly balanced, tracking perfectly since the 2009 vintage.
2025 Cortese Bricco Bartolomeo La Colombera: A very clever wine that uses the Gavi grape Cortese to great effect at a magnificent price. It is one of the wisest if you like Gavi wines of the year so far.
2024 Kratos Fiano Luigi Maffini: Already a legendary wine, showcasing the stellar Fiano grapes sultry, near-tropical fruit cut with raucously dramatic volcanic minerality.
2024 Mofete Etna Bianco Palmento Costanzo: One of the most accurate and delicious Etna whites around. It offers incredible value for money compared to many Emperors new clothes Etna wines on the market.
The Rosato:
2025 Illario Rosato, Fattoria di Magliano: It has all the drama and electricity you are looking for in this spine-tinglingly refreshing style of wine.
The Reds:
2024 Valpolicella Classico, Ca La Bionda: It covers a multitude of bases when it comes to food pairing. Served cool, this wine is a spectacular weapon in your gastro-armoury.
2021 Chianti Classico, Castagnoli: This estate Chianti is a cracker, and at five years of age, it is sitting in its sweet spot of life. Plush, regal, and perfectly balanced, it is bound to shock you with the value it offers.
2021 Tassinaia, Castello del Terriccio: One of the best value Super Tuscans around. If you fancy a Merlot and Cabernet blend with lashings of Tuscan flair, this is your wine.
2022 Bolgheri Rosso, Le Macchiole: With an incredibly balanced and supple palate alongside a bargain price, this Merlot, Cabernet, and Syrah blend is a true superstar. Ignore it at your peril.
2023 Rosso di Montalcino, Ginestreto, Fuligni: Epic estates often produce Rossos that are medium-weight, drink earlier, and cost the right price. This 2023 is the finest we have ever tasted from this legendary producer. Do not miss out.L&S
