Mavrodaphne is one of Greece’s most respected black grape varieties, capable of producing exceptional, world-class wines. Particularly noteworthy is the Mov by Petrakopoulos, which showcases the grape's potential alongside the region's pre-phylloxera vine treasures. Predominantly cultivated in the Peloponnese and Cephalonia, Mavrodaphne is often blended with other local varieties, resulting in complex, rich red wines. With its vibrant flavours and captivating aromatic profile, this wine is an exquisite companion to slow-roasted goat and can age beautifully in the cellar for several years.

Zweigelt, Austria’s most widespread grape, is a testament to the ingenuity of Dr. Fritz Zweigelt, who created it in 1922 by blending Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent.

The 2021 Le Sans Peur Zweigelt from Kremstal, Austria, exemplifies these traits with its deep purple hue, ethereal nose, and light-bodied palate. Scoring 90/100, this wine pairs beautifully with dishes like tuna, smoked salmon, chicken, or sausages and is best enjoyed now through 2029.

​​Mavrotragano is a dark-skinned grape grown mainly on the Cyclades islands, with some great examples from Santorini and Tinos. In recent years a few efforts occurred on the mainland with commercial success and helped Mavrotragano to find its place. However, although the variety has already gained a high-quality status, its full potential still needs to be discovered.

Montecucco DOCG lies on the southwest hillsides of Amiata Mountain, directly opposite the Brunello di Montalcino slopes. The two zones share many similarities, but also many various. Sangiovese is the main red variety for both regions, but even if Montecucco has the potential to reach the quality level of Brunello, they do not share the same status.

Les Fortes de Latour is the second label of Château Latour. It is a common practice in the Bordeaux region of all the major Château to produce a second less expensive label than the Grand Vin yet produced with the same meticulous care as the Grand Vin, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The main differences between the second label and the Grand Vin are the grapes' origin (young vines or less prominent plots), the new oak proportion and usually the higher proportion of Merlot in the final blend.

Even now, after I have tasted the Les Fortes de Latour, I struggle to believe that it was in such an excellent condition. After all, it is a 30-year-old wine!
