Founded in 1870 near Verona, the historic, family-run Cantine Bennati is renowned for its flagship Amarone. The 2021 vintage was an exceptional one, producing wines of intense concentration and excellent ageing potential.
Jeff Porter at Wine Enthusiast has rated it an impressive 91pts: “Dried black cherries and fig paste layered with vanilla bean, fresh-ground clove and nutmeg, while dark cocoa meets leather and tobacco notes. The palate brings that concentrated richness with surprising grace, where fine-grained tannins support waves of dried fruit intensity.”
Powerful yet velvety with a long finish, this luxury wine is ideal for special occasions alongside slow-cooked meats, truffled pastas, or aged cheese.

Here’s another Northern Italian beauty you don’t want to miss! Orlando Abrigo is a fine Piedmont estate with excellent vineyards in the top cru of Montersino. Pure Barbera, the wine is aged in 500-litre French oak casks – 40% new – for over a year’s ageing.
This is an exquisite wine, singing with dark cherry, plum, bilberries and flowers and a hint of smoky wood. James Suckling gives it 91 points and calls it "A delicious, juicy red with blue fruit, spice and hints of flowers."
