In Scansano, in the southern part of Tuscany, Morellino is the local name for Sangiovese. In this case blended with 15% Ciliegiolo, another indigenous local grape, this is a slim & youthful style of red, with only a third of the blend spending 6-8 months in new oak. Ripe cherry & strawberry fruit forms the backbone of this wine, which is medium-bodied & approachable, & fresh in feel. A subtly rustic streak gives a touch of complexity & food friendliness. Partner with anything from lamb chops to game, either immediately or within the next 5 years. ...

Mid ruby. Exotic, orange peel aromas. Sweet start & very lively. Racy, jewelled. Lots of fine tannins. There is tightness & density here rather than sheer mass & alcohol (though the label says 13.5%). Rather sophisticated but not big. Very long. 18/20, jancisrobinson.com ...

Unusual for being made from 100% Aligote. This has an almost savoury nose, with notes of spice & toasted nuts. On the palate, this has zesty citrus fruit & a steely minerality, but these are offset by mouthcoating fruit. The savoury toasted notes come through once more on the long finish. ...

An interesting 1er Cru, half of which is from two vineyards, Le Village & La Riotte, & the remainder from the young vines of the Grand Cru. The assemblage can vary, dependent upon vintage conditions. This again has good depth of colour & some minerality on the nose. Savoury, but richer than the villages, as you would expect. There is structure, but the tannins are already soft & accessible. There is good detail in this wine & it will drink well young ...

Born in 1981, Aurélien Verdet is one of a younger generation of Burgundy winemakers carrying on the winemaking traditions of his father, in this case continuing with the pursuit of organic viticulture. This wine comes from a 1.5-hectare plot in Moret-St-Denis, & offers characteristic morello cherry fruit at the core, framed by velvety tannins & woody aromatic complexity. ...

If you love citrusy Spanish Albariño, you need to try Alvarinho from Portugal – it’s the exact same grape. Its heartland is in the Vinho Verde region. With vineyards set back from the Atlantic, & hotter summers than elsewhere in the DOC, this wine has a more generous body & character than the average bottle. ...

Captain Morgan, is a triple-distilled, barrel-aged, honey coloured classic. Made from pure Caribbean sugar cane, this household name Rum is blended with a proprietary blend of spice to give it a robust, unforgettable flavour that goes equally well with fresh & hearty mixers, from cola & ginger ale to lemonade. ...

This is a real head-turner from Morgenster, where legendary winemaker Pierre Lurton acts as consultant. Primarily Merlot & Cabernet Franc – with well-measured dashes of Cabernet Sauvignon & Petit Verdot – it is elegant & polished. The 2013 vintage presented perfect ripening conditions so you're in for a real treat. ...

Morgon is famed for producing cru Beaujolais that stands toe-to-toe with Burgundian Pinot Noir. The vines behind ' La Ballofière' are, on average, 70-years-old, & once the juice is squeezed from these venerable, flavour packed bunches, 30% is aged in oak barrels. This practice isn't cheap. But the end product is very likely to be the richest Beaujolais you'll taste with bold dark cherry & plum notes & violet hints. ...
