Dr. Matthew Horkey and Charine Tan were in Italy recently and went along to the Polenzo Tasting in Piemonte. They have highlighted just 13 wines for special mention. One from good friends at De Marie in Barbaresco https://demarie.com/?lang=en and a Piemonte Barbera D.O.P with a rather lovely label from Vanessa Stone http://www.vanessastoneartist.com/

To quote them about The English winemaker Barbera:
” This wine is made with 25% whole cluster fermentation and indigenous yeasts. No additional sulfur is added. There are notes of stems, ripe red fruit, and pepper. This is a hardcore natural wine with gorgeous fruit. Score: 90/100 “
