Love Not War Organic Sangiovese
Postcards from Italy Organic Montepulciano
Deep ruby with violet hues. Aromas of wild berries, red cherries and delicate notes of crushed herbs. A well-structured palate with integrated tannins makes this a perfect match with anything Italian.
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.
Lingo A/Hills Montepulciano
This wine may be hard to pronounce but the flavour rolls across the tongue. This Montepulciano (Mon-Tae-Pull-Chi-Ah-No) is full of flavour, with a generous red berry palate followed by cedar savoury tannins.
Rocca Montepulciano D'Abruzzo DOC
A popular Montepulciano dAbruzzo, appreciated for its soft flavours, strong colour and gentle tannins. This Montepulicano dAbruzzo is gaining popularity in its easy drinking on its own or with food. A lively red colour with purplish nuances. Vinous, fruity character with remarkable notes of berries. Velvety and harmonic taste, aromatic with a good final persistence.
Colpasso Nero d'Avola
Made from Nero d'Avola, a native grape of Sicily. The vineyards that produced this well crafted red are in the Belice area on the western side of the island. A portion of the fruit is treated very carefully during picking and transportation so as not to break the skins. The bunches are than laid out and dried for 30 days. They are then gently destemmed and crushed, and fermentation takes place. This wine is then added back to the normally fermented portion. The combination of two wines provides great intensity, complexity and interest. The wine has an incredibly intense nose featuring black pepper and spices. The palate offers layers and layers of fruit with bursts of dark berry fruit, excellent balance and complexity, with a soft, lingering finish.
Illuminati Pecorino Controguerra
The vineyards that produced this appealing wine are situated near Controguerra, Abruzzo, at 250 metres altitude, inland from the Adriatic coast, halfway up the boot of Italy. The pecorino grape is not widely known in Australia. It is believed to be a native of the Marche region. The name may derive from the fact that the grapes were grown in hilly country, the same country that sheep were raised - pecora means "sheep" in Italian. Pecorino wine is easy going, with straw colouring, displaying distinct floral notes, minerality, field herbs, stonefruit and citrus. It is currently enjoying a surge of popularity in Italy and other parts of the world.
Poggio Anima 'Asmodeus' Nero d'Avola
Dark garnet. Notes of ripe plums, leather, garrigue and pepper on the nose, with ripe black cherry and a touch of candied berry on the palate. Finishes with fruit sweetness and a liquorice note with soft gripping tannins to hold it all together.
The Ethereal One Fleurieu Montepulciano
The Ethereal One celebrates wines with ethereal qualities - so delicious and graceful in style they seem not to be of this world. This classic Italian style Montepulciano has an intense purple colour and aromas of blackberries, plums and black cherries, followed by hints of chocolate. The palate is dominated with boysenberries and black plum, perfectly balanced with generous silky tannins.
