Stretching along Italy’s Adriatic coast, the Abruzzo boasts pretty coastal coves and dramatic landscapes of soaring mountains, rolling verdant hills, deep valleys and ancient castles. It's a favourite spot for holidaying Italians, but is otherwise little known. Yet its extensive vineyards produce a range of deliciously accessible wines – creamy, plum-filled Montepulciano reds, citrusy Trebbianos and this fruity Pinot Grigio. This white addition to our Farinelli range provides excellent value, yet over the vintages it’s scored an amazing 93 points at the IWC competition and won four medals. Enjoy here a lovely balance of ripe peach and apple fruit with citrusy zip. It makes an ideal apéritif and goes well with lemon chicken and creamy pasta.

France’s most elegant source for fine rosé is Provence. Long hours of blue skies and blissful sunshine, with cooling breezes from the Med, ensure grapes of delicious ripeness and freshness. Maison Maillet is a bright, crisp pink from a 4th-generation family estate that prides itself on wines of authenticity and charm. It lies close to the renowned appellation of Bandol, the wines of which are some of the most expensive of Provence, and the famous Grand Prix circuit. With the wind in the right direction, speed fanatics can hear the whine of tyres. Fast cars aside, this delicate pink is a classic blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Gentle summer berries, bright citrus freshness, it’s perfect sipped solo or served with salads or seafood.

Provence is the world epicentre for pale, sophisticated rosé wines that offer delicate citrus and summer berry flavours, and L’Art Provençal is a classic example of this style. It’s no surprise that Provence makes exceptional rosé as the region has an ideal climate for refreshing pinks, with twice as much sunshine as London, yet relatively moderate temperatures even in the height of summer. This delightful rosé is from the Breban family’s domaine, high in the hills of the Côte d’Azur. Their vineyards are surrounded by wooded hillsides and have a sunny south-facing aspect and well-drained soil to help keep the flavours concentrated. Rounded with savoury, subtle fruitiness this is an ideal rosé to enjoy with poached salmon, salt and pepper squid or on its own.

This outstanding rosé is a collaboration between Jon Bon Jovi, his son Jesse and Gérard Bertrand. It represents the spirit and lifestyle of the south of France. The grapes were selected from only the best sites. Elegant, with a pale rose colour. The wine is fresh and lively with distinctive minerality and a long-lasting finish, intensified by aging in French oak barrels. Its intense aromas of red fruit, citrus fruit and spices make it another perfect companion to be shared among friends.

Juicy red fruit flavours from the McLaren Vale are balanced with depth from the Barossa Valley. This is a lighter style red wine with flavours of raspberry and strawberry along with hints of cinnamon spice.
