Fine Italian Red Wine

Winemaker Enrico Mercato has crafted this sumptuous lightly oak aged wine which is soft and full of rich black fruit flavours with a hint of spices and a lovely finish.

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.

Ripe and luscious on the palate, but also impressively structured and poised – with a luscious warm, dark texture dovetailing with a dark fruit-coulis freshness and notes of liquorice and ...

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

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

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.

So concentrated and focused with tremendous aromatic complexity and drive, this cuvee gives way to a bold and exuberant core of rich, fully ripe and concentrated coco, red cherry and ...

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.

"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.

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.

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.  

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.

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.

One of Verona's greatest traditions made primarily Corvina grapes that are dried for 120 days before vinification, then matured in oak cask for 2 years. Full-bodied, voluptuous, wonderfully balanced.

With equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this Guidalberto offers great freshness and tension. Tart cherry, wild berries, bay leaf, spice and lavender buds. Wonderful!
