Bright, intense ruby red in colour, Tasca Regaleali Nero d'Avola is full flavoured with notes of sour cherry, mulberry, blueberry and vanilla. Herbaceous spice such as sage add further complexity leading into a beautifully balanced red wine.

We used to think that Sofia Barbanera's regular Saracosa was intense. And then she upped the ante, with this lavish, luscious, silky smooth Saracosa Governo. A limited-edition luxury version of her already indulgent ‘Super Tuscan’, Governo uses an ancient Tuscan method of allowing a portion of the grapes to air dry for a period of time, dialling the flavour concentration way up. Italy’s top critic, Luca Maroni, has long been a fan of the Saracosa reds, and this one is no exception – he has rated both the 2016 and the 2017 vintagehere a stunning 98 points! English wine writer Oz Clarke is also smitten by Governo’s many charms, calling it “indulgent and exotic”. One taste and we think you’ll fall in love with it too.

"Mario Piccini opens the doors of his cellar, inviting you to taste his "Collezione Privata" (Italian for "Private Collection"). This selection has been meticulously curated by Mario Piccini himself, and his signature on each bottle stands as a personal guarantee of the wine's quality. A blend of Merlot (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), Syrah (205) and Sangiovese (20%). The bouquet reveals rich notes of spice, chocolate, ripe plums and blackberries. Flavours of licorice and ripe fruit dance on the palate while supple tannins contribute to a velvety texture. This is a harmonious and well-structured wine with rich complexity and a long, lingering finish. It is complex and harmonious".

Luciano Sandrone crafts wines of profound integrity, purity and deep expression. The Barbera d'Alba is matured for 15 months in wooden barrels, a good part of which are new, which balances the natural fruity and fresh texture of the wine with soft tannins.
