This affordable red immediately caught out attention having been rated 98 points by Italian wine critic Luca Maroni. The word appassimento is Italian for "withering" and refers to a method of wine production in which grapes are dried for several weeks after harvest in special storage racks. The liquid evaporates and the aromas intensify with the concentrated fruit. A blend of Negroamaro (80%) and Primitivo (20%). Ruby red with orange reflections. Intense and complex with notes of ripe fruit and spices. Dry wine with good texture and supple tannins. Perfect with spicy pasta, red meat and mature cheeses.

Dark fruits, medium bodied with fragrant spice, finishing with gentle tannins.

Restrained red fruit with a background of menthol, leather and tobacco on the nose leads to a big mouthful of cherries, vanilla and plums with good intensity. A nicely balanced wine, drinking very well.

We searched the region of Abruzzo for a savoury quaffer that's perfect for Tuesday night Italian, and this is it. Bright red fruit with length and depth, rustic (but squeaky clean) with genuine Italian savoury notes and that chalky tannin edge on the finish.

A popular Montepulciano dAbruzzo, appreciated for its soft flavours, strong colour and gentle tannins. This Montepulicano dAbruzzo is gaining popularity in its easy drinking on its own or with food. A lively red colour with purplish nuances. Vinous, fruity character with remarkable notes of berries. Velvety and harmonic taste, aromatic with a good final persistence.

Sensi Collezione Pinot Noir Toscana IGT is an elegant red wine with medium body and can be recognized by a very characteristic aroma of currants, blackberry and raspberry. Enjoy this wine with game, braised and roasted red meats, hearty soups, medium aged cheese and grilled meats.

With 2008 being one of the greatest vintages recorded in modern history in South Australia, little gems like this 2008 Jamiesons Run Shiraz are worth their weight in gold. Ripe berry fruit with touches of mint chocolate biscuit and hints of black pepper spice. A few years in our climate controlled cellars has softened the tannins nicely to provide a fantastic value for money red wine suited to many cuisine types.

Soft rounded and fruit-driven this is a good example of the approachable easy drinking Merlot variety. Generous plummy flavour with just a touch of oak and light tannins make this wine enjoyable now.</p>
