CASTELLARE DI CASTELLINA I Sodi di San Niccolo Colli della Toscana Centrale, Toscana

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo “Madia” is a perfect example of a traditional Abruzzese wine. The deep, intense pitch-black hue, with its typical purplish glints, is due to Montepulciano grapes. Ruby red colour, with purplish glints. The clean nose profile shows berry fruits scents and jam aromas, with hints of violet and bitter liquorices in the finale. The wine is supple and warm, well-balanced, firm, and pleasantly lasting in the mouth. It is an ideal food wine, perfect to pair with a wide range of dishes, easily drinkable and enjoyable every day.

Vibrant and intense, with layers of spiced cherries, boysenberries, black plums and subtle notes of dried herbs that echo through the palate to create a finely crafted, balanced wine.

The i Lauri PINCIAIE Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC 2022 is a true testament to the rich terroir of Abruzzo, Italy. This stunning wine boasts a deep ruby colour that glistens in the glass. On the nose, it exudes aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, with subtle hints of spice and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of ripe fruit and tannins. As the wine lingers, notes of chocolate and vanilla emerge, adding complexity to the already impressive flavour profile. The 2022 vintage is a standout, showcasing the skill and expertise of the i Lauri winery. This wine is an ideal pairing for hearty Italian dishes, and will only continue to improve with age. Sip, savour, and enjoy the essence of Abruzzo in each and every glass of this exceptional Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva.

With a home on the central east coast of Italy, the Abruzzo region is home to the Montepulciano grape (not to be confused with the region of Montepulciano in Tuscany!). It is here that the variety really thrives and Illuminati's Pieluni Riserva shows wonderful deep, brooding and intense aromas and flavours of ripe plums, tobacco and blackcurrant. Delectable chocolate tannins round out a truly decadent wine.

La Grola is the extraordinary result of the meeting of two great personalities: the hill of La Grola and the Valpolicella's autochthonous grapes. The excellent exposure of the vineyards, which enjoy the sun's warm rays and the cool breezes that come from nearby Lake Garda, allows the grapes to produce their very best. Careful, craftsman-like ageing in the cellar yields a red wine with great elegance, harmony and finesse that can evolve positively for over a decade.
