Cantina Tombacco, Biferno Rosso Riserva DOC, 2009
£11.95Add to cartBiferno is a tiny appellation in the centre-south of Italy, next door to Abruzzo. The red wine variety grown there is the wonderfully fruity Montepulciano.
The wine has appreciated after time spent aging in both barrel and bottle and the result is an aromatic and seductive wine with cherry and floral lift, but a deep, plum and liquorice richness of fruit and silky texture, the tannins mellowed into a gentle, rounded wine.
Even though it’s good to go straight away, we really recommend letting it sit in the glass a few minutes (or decanting) before drinking. Doing this brings out its mellow maturity and authentic Italian identity, and the oak becomes better-integrated.
It’s easy to see why this has become our fastest selling red since listing it on our website. And at just over a tenner, it is very easy to drink!

Castle of Dracula Marsecco, Frizzante Marzemino (red), IGT
£10.95Add to cartThis wine tells an exceptional story. Marzemino grew for the first time in Asia, but Venetian and Lombard connoisseurs were already enjoying its sweetness in the 16th century.

APPEARANCE
The wine itself is crimson with shiny purple highlights.NOSE & PALATE
The nose forest fruits and the tongue tingles from the gentle bubbles and the noticeable residual sugar makes it very soft. The black cherry dominates the palate.A definite candidate for a fun party wine and also tastes very well chilled on a mild summer’s evening. Guaranteed to convert any non-believer!

Moscato IGT
£9.95Out Of StockAn excellent example of Moscato for those curious to try this sparkling example. Bright yellow colour with delicate green hues and lively mousse. The impact is elegant on the nose with mellow notes of grapes, melon and peaches. On the palate the bubbles are fine and persistent and no need to worry about the sweetness – it is wonderfully balanced and sweet without being icky by the refreshing acidity and lively zing. Very tasty and only 7.5% because not all the sugar is converted to alcohol so a natural lower alcohol alternative. We enjoy this one with cake!

Piantaferro Grillo, 2012
£7.95Add to cartGrillo is one of the most promising native Sicilian grapes, which is still grown with the ancient small-tree method at a density of 6000 vines per hectare. The grapes are harvested by hand and softly pressed. The wine is pleasurably structured and one does not even notice its strength and alcohol content thanks to a splendid balance for a full-bodied wine. With a bouquet redolent of jasmine, white flowers, rose petals and exotic fruits and citrus, this is no neutral white. On the palate the wine is dry and fresh, with great acid balance and a clean note of summer fruit.
Try as an alternative to Chardonnay.
