The Buyer | Discovering the five Italian estates new to the Armit Wines stable

Italy has always been the strongest calling card in the Armit Wines portfolio from being the sole UK distributor of Tenuta San Guido to a range of other household names that include Bruno Giacosa, Roagna and Giacomo Fenocchio. Amongst the gems at the 2026 Armit tasting were five estates new to the portfolio – Montepeloso, Joaquin, Cascina Baricchi, Fèlsina and Marchese Luca Spinola, with every estate, large and small, being hand-picked to represent the region and style of winemaking. Peter Dean met up with the five wine producers and picks out the wines that shone on the day.
