Drop 02 · New Italian Styles — 6 bottles

The new wave of Italian wine. Natural, serious, precise — and anonymous until it lands.

Six bottles from the Italians rewriting the rules: small cellars, clean work in the vineyard, no excuses in the glass. No names — just what they taste like:

• Old vines of a lake-country white everyone underestimates: almond blossom, wet stone, a bitter snap at the end. Their loss.
• A featherweight lakeside red that vanishes when served cool: wild strawberries, herbs, zero homework.
• A rosé from Italy's most royal grape, made where nobody would dare: rose petals over a spine of real tannin.
• A mountain white from vines at dizzying altitude: alpine herbs, flint, acidity straight off the glacier.
• The grape they usually dry for a famous heavyweight — here naked, dry, alive: sour cherry, blood orange, pure energy.
• An organic red from a valley the tourists skip: dusty Tuscan cherry, leather, built for Sunday lunch. The locals don't skip it.
