In Issue 15 of Club Oenologique, we’re examining how passion and precision are taking Italy’s collectable drinks to new heights.

You can witness it in the country’s celebrated fine-wine regions, where despite the history and high-esteem, a push for accelerated quality continues – that’s according to Sarah Heller MW, who Club O sent to these vinous heartlands over the summer to compile our very first Italy Report. Get a flavour of what’s in store sprinkled throughout the magazine.

In this Italy-themed issue, we’re also looking at the new collectables of the country – including offerings from upcoming wine regions where producers are making cellarable reds worth seeking out. We also have rare amaro and vintage vermouth, plenty of Italian cuisine and travel tips for South Tyrol, a part of the country where Alpine cultures charmingly collide. As with any issue of our magazine, there’s also fine fizz and rare whisky – with our experts toasting the year’s top releases, exploring the trend for Champagne aged under water and introducing the long-aged Irish whiskeys to watch out for. All this and more in the winter issue of Club Oenologique.
