Dark with aromas of crushed berries, meat, and freshly picked roses. Racy, full-bodied but incredibly fresh, with firm yet elegant tannins and beautiful currant and blackberry character. Very long, silky and caressing with an amazing texture, loads of character and a compelling finish. Possesses a huge “wow” factor. A bargain and easily in the same class as many Tuscans costing double the price. Sangiovese and Merlot.
Made using the traditional method, Franciacorta is a valuable alternative to Champagne. This fine example has a delicate nose of white fruits, brioche and a buttery note. Finely balanced, its clean taste is very satisfying. Drink now.
Fresh and creamy with flavours of tropical fruit, apple, pineapple, banana and mineral character, with a medium body and a flavourful finish. Consistently great, year after year.
A delicious Chianti. Ruby-red colour with a nose of blackberries, spice, leather and new oak, medium-to-full-bodied and elegant with a modern flair, oak yet to be fully integrated. Well made and soft enough for drinking now
This is a wine that belongs on one of those outdoor Italian tables served in glasses that could hold toothbrushes. It’s hearty and rustic, full-bodied with a sweet plum and black cherry flavour with a floral note.
A blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes that over delivers for the price. There is plenty of ripe dark cherry and plum fruit, solid structure and good overall weight and balance. A hearty, thoroughly enjoyable wine.
Ruby purple. Red fruits dominate on the nose with a trace of reduction (an unpleasant odour that goes away after a while and not a defect). Full-bodied, the tannins have a little astringent bite but the fruit is abundant. The finish is quite firm. Carafe it 1 to 2 hours to drink it now or wait up to 5 years.
