It’s no coincidence Pillastro is one of our bestselling Italian reds – customers love all that richness, warmth and bold, ripe fruit. Pillastro comes from Puglia, in Italy’s deep south, best known for big, smoky wines made from prized local varieties Primitivo and Negroamaro. It is made by Angelo Maci, a leading figure in the quality revolution of the last two decades, whose cellar Cantine Due Palme has twice been named Winery of the Year. Angelo made this wine purely from Primitivo, which produces rich, powerful reds with plenty of ripe fruit. A period of oak ageing has infused the wine’s generous plum and damson character with notes of spice and vanilla. Enjoy with hearty casseroles, pasta with a rich tomato sauce, or garlic roasted lamb.

A frequent Gold medal winner, Stones & Bones is so-called because it’s grown in a landscape littered with ancient boulders and dinosaur fossils. In the modern Portuguese tradition, the wine is a blend of local and international grapes. Touriga Nacional, the backbone of vintage port, joins forces with Syrah, Tinta Roriz and Alicante to produce truly mammoth, rich fruit flavours. Equally impressive is the winemaker, Diogo Sepúlveda, who relaxes after work by cycling or playing football, or, more unusually, bull wrestling! Having worked in Pomerol, then in the Barossa with heirloom Shiraz vines, his credentials for making this rich, old vine Portuguese red are second to none. For maximum enjoyment, decant and serve with a rich beef casserole.

Cielo e Terra is a joint venture between the Cielo family, who have been making wine in the Veneto for over a century, and the Cantine dei Colli Berici.

THREE DREAMERS is a tribute to our story and to our partner, who is no longer with us, that we want to celebrate with a great wine made from selected Montepulciano D’Abruzzo grapes, from our Cantalupo Estate in Abruzzo. The grapes are left to dry, for more than 2 months, in optimal conditions, with a process created by our research & development department. Having read this description, you might think we are talking about an Amarone made with Montepulciano grapes, but when you taste the wine, you will realize that it has incredible organoleptic characteristics that allow it to excel from every point of view. COLOUR : Deep ruby red with shades of black plum. BOUQUET : The aromas are deep and complex, ripe fruit, raisins, blackberries, sour cherries, cinnamon with touches of vanilla and dark chocolate. FLAVOUR : The palate has a powerful rush of cocoa powder, with notes of jammy blackcurrant and hints of mocha espresso and caramel toffee. The seamlessly integrated palate of powdery tannins frame the perfect acidity, giving a long texture on the finish. RECOMMENDED WITH : Its elegance and structure make it perfect with game, red meats or matured cheeses. It is also an ideal accompaniment for lengthy conversations. CELLARING : Drink now, or can be kept for 5 years with careful cellaring. SERVING TEMPERATURE : 17 – 18 degrees C.
