PRIMO MONTE SKIN FERMENTED NATURAL WINE 2023 Italy

Although made from white wine grapes, this “orange wine” is fermented like a red wine, with extended time on the skins. It offers juicy nectarine and peach, dried apricot, pine nut, pressed flowers and binned apple notes, with sprinklings of subtle spices. Especially fine with flavourful shellfish or blue cheeses.

Stitched with pure cherry and raspberry fruit, this red is supple and fragrant, showing lovely harmony. Mineral, tar and eucalyptus accents add detail. There’s plenty of structure, with vibrant acidity and refined tannins focusing the finish. Elegant, with the potential to develop over the next two decades. Best from 2027 through 2045.

Score: 93 (jamessuckling.com, May 7, 2025) Aromatic & Flavourful 332247 (XD) 750 ml $42.95 1 Online & Flagship Exclusive VENETO TOMMASI LE FORNACI LUGANA 2024 DOC The 2024 Lugana Le Fornaci bursts from the glass with a pungent array of tropical citrus and florals complementing green melon. It entices with its fruit-forward personality, nicely offset by a tinge of sour lemon and salty minerals. The 2024 leaves the palate completely reset and aching for another sip as nuances of mint slowly fade. Drinking window: 2025¥2027. Score: 90 (Eric Guido, vinous.com, Nov. 20, 2025) Aromatic & Flavourful 23866 (XD) 750 ml $21.95 1

Dancing between floral exuberance and vibrant fruit, this Dolcetto captivates with an energetic spirit that almost tickles your senses. The palate skips along with crunchy purple and blue fruits, gaining extra charm with a slight chill. From aromatic Chinese five-spice ribs to comforting eggplant parmesan, it brings joy to the table. Best Buy. Score: 89 (Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast , Dec. 31, 2025) Light-bodied & Fruity 46568 (XD) 750 ml $18.95 2
