Fine Italian Red Wine

A full-bodied, bold, and complex example with hints of ripe dark cherry and underlying notes of vanilla and chocolate.

A fruit-packed wine, glowing with bright cherry, plum and damson flavours. Nero d'Avola is Sicily's signature red grape - with characteristic warmth and ripeness.

A sumptuous blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from one of Chianti's most ancient estates, representing over 5 centuries of Siennese winemaking. Loves grilled red meats, game, mature cheeses.

From one of the most creative of new generation Piedmont winegrowers comes a Barbera d'Alba of exceptional finesse and elegance. Structured, bold, expressive - delicious.

A blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara with 12 months ageing. A deep and concentrated 'Ripasso' styled wine.

Fresh, luscious and elegant in style, but also with profound, plump berry fruit to the fore. Fine balance here of fruit, tannin and texture – an excellent Chianti.

Vibrant and flavourful with soft, silky tannin - a little plumper darker and rounder perhaps than its neighbour Chianti, and a fine expression of sangiovese.

A perfectly mature 'mini-super-Tuscan' blend of sangiovese, cab franc and merlot and without the super-Tuscan price. Almost two decades on, it's full of delicious nuance, complexity - and life.

Alessandra Casini Bindi Sergardi's Achille is a lovely fruit-led sangiovese from her estate outside Siena.

From one of the most creative of new generation Piedmont winegrowers comes a Barbera d'Alba of exceptional finesse and elegance. Structured, bold, expressive - delicious.

Luminous ruby red colour. Dark cherries, sweet spice, violets, and hints of dark chocolate and menthol emerge on the nose. Full-bodied, with a creamy mouthfeel and a lovely long finish.

"This vintage offers a complete picture of the Nebbiolo grape and of the distinctive elegance of Treiso, one of the cornerstones of the Barbaresco appellation." 94pts.

Broad, rich and rewarding on the palate with ripe tannins and an appealing, plump texture. Bravo.

In a sheltered valley at the foot of Monte Amiato, the highest mountain in Tuscany, the wines benefit from the very rich mineral soil of this extinct volcano.  

One of Tuscany's oldest producers using the region's ancient "Governo" method by which dried grapes are added to the ferment to enhance color, body, texture, fragrance and power.

A delicious and complex wine made by Charlotte Horton of Castello di Potentino, from Pinot Noir. A serious, oak aged wine which has a long life ahead of it.

The wine is a celebration of the mysterious processes that occur within the bottle after the barrel. This is a cut above the other brilliant wines of Potentino.
