Crafted from meticulously cultivated Sangiovese grapes grown in one of Montalcino’s most distinctive terroirs, Officium is a Brunello of structure, depth, and refined character. The vineyards sit on fossil-rich soils composed of marl, limestone, clay, and schist, lending the wine its signature mineral backbone and complexity. These calcareous soils are poor in fertility but rich in personality, perfect for coaxing nuanced expression from the vines.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with selected yeasts and is followed by a 20-day maceration to extract colour, structure, and aromatic depth. The wine is aged for 36 months in large casks, then refined for an additional 1–2 years in cement and steel, followed by a minimum of 4 months in bottle. It is released five years after harvest, allowing it to integrate and develop beautifully before reaching your glass.
Officium opens with a ruby red hue edged with garnet. On the nose, it's layered with spice, small red berries, and more savoury notes of juniper, liquorice, black pepper, and earth. The palate is fresh, mid-weight, and structured, balancing lively acidity with polished, well-integrated tannins. A lingering finish brings hints of balsamic and spice, marking it both powerful and poised.
Perfect pairings: red meats, braised dishes, game, or aged cheeses, particularly blue-veined varieties. A classic Brunello.

New & Exciting
There are very few wine shops as good as Butlers, years of buying wines from them. There is always something new & exciting to pick out off the shelves and if you’re in any doubt the advice is considered and insightful.

Brilliant Butlers!
Words can't express the brilliance of Butlers or the thoughtfulness, expertise and compassion of their team! Whilst packing up to move internationally a friend died and I needed to organise an emergency case of something luscious to support the wake. Not only did their wonderful team organise and deliver within an incredibly tight deadline they drafted a message for me too which I approved. Wonderful!!

Delightful, delicious, delectable
As a lockdown convert, I'm an online customer, but the clear website, with interesting blogs and some comprehensive descriptions, really helps to steer you. Great advice when needed and great service too.

Sourcing Stock
Henry and Team managed to locate some difficult to find American wine which they kindly offered and I gratefully accepted. They truly differentiate by being able to surprise by sourcing stock very much outside the run of the mill.

Great Wine/Spirit shop with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff
This was my second visit to Butlers Wine Cellar and on both occasions the service has been wonderful. The young lady assisted me and my wife on a number of purchases of wine and sherry and seemed very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. Having tasted them she was spot on with her comments on each bottle. I would highly recommend anyone to use this shop.
