It couldn't be more classic; never more classic Italian than this sumptuous trio. Never a more classic case of richness and power, lifted aromatics and elegance, and dark, spicy, full-bodied fruit. Here are Amarone, Barolo and La Toscana repsectively. Three traditions, six reds, and one fine selection for you to savour true Italian gusto.

2017 Amarone Della Valpolicella '3 Cru', Guerrieri Rizzardi, Veneto
Rizzardi are masters of Amarone, and the '3 Crus' a blend of grapes from three top vineyards, is rightly regarded as one of the finest around. Here, elegance, finesse and complexity serve as perfect counterparts to its power, richness and intensity. Perfetto.

2017 Guidalberto, Tenuta San Guido, Tuscany
Not all little brothers are easy to get on with but this Guidalberto is great to have around - always. This is the second wine of Sassicaia, which was the 'original' Super-Tuscan, and whilst the big brother can set you back nearly a tenner per sip (!), this is a far more attractive proposition. Rich dark fruit and spice, full bodied, but also with great class and elegance, this can be enjoyed now or over the next few years.

2018 Barolo 'La Morra', Enzo Boglietti
This vintage is a bright ruby colour with a light orange hue and has an appealing, lifted bouquet of violet, rose and liquorice aromatics. The palate is rich, finely structured, bursting with dark cherry and spice, and carried by a dazzling current of acidity. This is the first release of Barolo del Comune di La Morra and is already drinking quite pleasantly.
