2022 Envinate - Valle de la Orotava Migan Tinto (750ml)
I tasted the bottled 2022 Migan, which was paler than the sample of 2023 I tasted next to it and also felt more reductive. Sixty-three percent of the wine was with lees in used 500- and 600-liter oak barrels, and the rest (from the Tío Luis plot) was kept...

2020 Karamolegos - Assyrtiko Santorini Estate
The bottle age shows in the light honeyed aroma. Green fruits and quince sour-fresh brightness. Crisp, intense and mouth-watering and yet rounded in the mouth. Intense and creamy, with a long green-fruited aftertaste.
2023 Karamolegos - Assyrtiko Feredini (750ml)
The 2023 Karamolegos Assyrtiko Feredini is a beautiful expression of Santorini's iconic grape variety, Assyrtiko. It opens with a fresh, vibrant nose, offering aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and a touch of saline minerality, evoking the island's volcanic soils. There's a subtle herbal note in the background, like wild thyme or oregano, adding complexity. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing with a lively acidity that perfectly balances its medium body. Flavors of citrus and crunchy yellow fruits are complemented by a stony minerality typical of the region. The finish is long and precise, with a delightful tension between fruit and salinity, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste. Ideal with seafood or Mediterranean dishes, it also stands on its own as a refreshing aperitif.

2021 Tornatore - Etna Bianco DOC Pietrarizzo
A compact, light- to medium-bodied white, this shows a firm spine of acidity while remaining creamy and supple in texture. Opens in the glass, with fruit flavors of creamed apple, mandarin orange peel and kiwi, while accents of elderflower and salted almo...
2019 Tornatore - Etna Rosso DOC Pietrarizzo
Like a spice box on the nose, the 2019 Etna Rosso Pietrarizzo opens with dried cherries and cloves, complicated by incense, cedar shavings and mint. It washes across the palate like pure silk. A salty core of minerality adds unexpected depth, and tart wil...
