Description
With a winery located in the steep hills of Mango in Gramella, the Tintero family has been tending grapevines in the appellations of Moscato d’Asti and Langhe for four generations. The estate is run by third-generation Marco and his partner, Cinzia. Cantine Tintero really began to establish itself after WW2, when brothers Giovanni and Carlo began selling Moscato grapes to local drinks giants, Cinzano and Martini (while making their own wines for local consumption).
The colour is quite pale which is quite typical for Nebbiolo. The enticing aromas have touches of earth, stone and cherry, verging towards a Pinot Noir style, with hints of rose and strawberry but distinctly Italian. Lovely fresh fruit, floral hints with fine spices and good grip on the finish. Not necessarily flashy, but provides excellent drinking and precise varietal characteristics.

2011 Chateau Bellegrave, AC Pomerol
Bordeaux Blend
The 2011 vintage had a hard act to follow coming after two exceptional years in Bordeaux and whilst the wines aren't as showy as the '09's and '10's they are charming and drinking beautifully with a decade in bottle.

After separating the skins from the juice it is aged in stainless steel tanks for a minimum of 15 months.

2022 Promis Ca Marcanda, Gaja, IGT Toscana
Merlot
The Ca Marcanda Promis is a complex wine with an undeniable elegance. The nose is rich and concentrated, with blueberry, liquorice and cocoa hints. It starts fresh and then develops balsamic notes and scents of graphite, before becoming more mellow in character with a rhubarb and menthol note. The palate is voluminous with fine-grained and silky tannins on the finish.

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
