Tom Lubbe of Matassa We've got some stunning new(ish) arrivals that we've just got to tell you about. Our allocation of Matassa has arrived and we're impossibly excited.    Matassa I will always say - next to Lino Maga's Barbacarlo are the first ‘natural’ fine wines that honestly - changed my whole perspective on wine. I've never been more pleased that I now get to talk to you all about them. All of Matassa's wines are organic, biodynamic, unfiltered, unfined, no sulphur added and vegan friendly.    I first came across Matassa in London whilst working for a restaurant famed...

This wine however- shouldn't be kept in a dusty cellar or the corner of a wine fridge waiting for the right time or company. With notes of black cherry, plum and spice it's still fresh and vibrant. As Francesco says 'an antidote to misery' this wine will put a smile on your dial.
