Masseria La Volpe Primitivo Di Manduria "UNO" DOC

Senza Parole Negroamaro di Puglia
Bastioni Della Rocca Leggero Appassimento
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.
San Marzano Il Pumo Sangiovese
Biserno Il Pino di Biserno
Portone Pinot Grigio Rose
From Italy's northern Veneto region, the small addition of Pinot Noir provides the wines coppery pink hue. Subtle floral and pear aromas lead to a gentle palate weight with an underlying acid drive.
Pian E Fa Presto Montepulciano
Montepulciano is a grape variety that is gaining traction in Australia - both with growers and consumers. The grape's most famed spiritual home is in the Abruzzo region of central Italy where there is sufficient warmth to allow the late ripening grape to develop fully. It's a remarkably well priced example from Abruzzo, and is very suitable as a food wine with its rich and rounded berry flavours proving to be a great match for the usual array of Italian dishes.
Tua Rita Per Sempre Syrah Toscana
Dorio Montepulciano
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.
