Cepparello, Isole e Olena, Toscana
Old World favourite
A Tuscan icon. Pure sangiovese from the best terroir. Cepparello is the name of a troubled character from the 14th-century Decameron by Boccaccio. The wine itself is rather friendlier.

Hirsch Vineyards Pinot Noir, California
New World beauty
Pinot noir from Hirsch Vineyards, a winery in the northern wine region of Fort Ross-Seaview next to the Pacific, with vines planted in 1817. Pure oenological gems.
