Moving to the 2018 Grattamacco, this vintage is more classic in its expression and marked with finesse. While the summer was quite hot, it cooled at the end of August, with 60 mm of rain and an abrupt cold snap that slowed maturity, so they had to be quite patient waiting for the grapes to get ripe.

The aromas of the 2008 Vino Rosso Breg can be sensed before the glass even leaves the table, with steeped plums and clove nuances effortlessly rising up. With swirling, this becomes darker and spicy while gaining in volume and depth, unleashing a complex array of ginger and curries before giving way to dusty rose, menthol, red currant and balsam herbs. It washes across the palate like fine silk, seaming to caress all it touches with textural tart cherry and raspberry embellished by lavender and sage. All the while, a staining of fine tannins slowly saturates the senses, yet they are sweet and chalky, creating a well-managed tug of tension that lingers on and on. The Gravner family are genuine masters of Pignolo, from the complexity of fruit to its energy and, finally, its perfectly refined structure. Enjoy the 2008 now with decanting or lose it in the cellar for many years to come. It's a beauty.In BondSG$1,710.00 -

The 2009 Rosso Breg is dark as night, yet it offers a lifting bouquet of crushed black cherries, sage, spiced orange peels and nuances of menthol. It's vividly pure and fruit-forward but balanced throughout, with depths of tart raspberry complemented by violet inner florals and a hint of clove. The tannins are rounded and sweet, offset by a pleasantly bitter twang and a touch of blood orange. Gravner is undoubtedly the master of Pignolo, and this is an utterly harmonious example.In BondSG$766.00 -

The 2008 Barolo Vigna S. Caterina is the more accessible and fruit-driven of Porro's two Baroli. Dark red cherries flowers and sweet spices literally jump from the glass in a wine that is both extroverted and imbued with a cool sense of classicism. The wine's relatively upfront personality makes it a great choice for restaurant drinking. There is an immediacy here that is simply fabulous.In BondSG$454.00
