Vibrant aromas of red berries and strawberry lead to a refreshing and rounded palate rich in berry fruit and red currants. This medium bodied rosé is perfect as an apéritif or paired with cheese, salted almonds or tomato based chicken dishes.

This seductive Pinot Grigio comes from the beautiful undulating agrarian countryside of Puglia. Situated at the heal of Italy and skirted by the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas this romantic classical landscape of olive groves, market gardens and vineyards is dominated by vivid red soils and punctuated by hill towns, traditional whitewashed trulli houses, seaside fortresses and Roman ruins. The long hot dry summers and cool night breezes are ideal conditions for producing generously flavoured wines. Pinot Grigio is naturally high in acidity while cool fermentation techniques can preserve fruitiness and freshness. Notte Rossa Pinot Grigio is a ripe expression and offers lovely nectarine, white apricot, pear aromas, intense sweet fruit flavours, creamy textures and plenty of refreshing crisp acidity. Its a lovely foil to the leaner minerally styles of Northern Italy and perfect for the Australian palate! Enjoy with antipasto of all types, chicken schnitzel, grilled fish, risotto or hard cheeses.

We used to think that Sofia Barbanera's regular Saracosa was intense. And then she upped the ante, with this lavish, luscious, silky smooth Saracosa Governo. A limited-edition luxury version of her already indulgent ‘Super Tuscan’, Governo uses an ancient Tuscan method of allowing a portion of the grapes to air dry for a period of time, dialling the flavour concentration way up. Italy’s top critic, Luca Maroni, has long been a fan of the Saracosa reds, and this one is no exception – he has rated both the 2016 and the 2017 vintagehere a stunning 98 points! English wine writer Oz Clarke is also smitten by Governo’s many charms, calling it “indulgent and exotic”. One taste and we think you’ll fall in love with it too.

Stretching along Italy's Adriatic coast, the Abruzzo boasts pretty coastal coves and dramatic landscapes of soaring mountain peaks, deep valleys and ancient castles. The region also offers a range of attractive wines - the creamy, plum filled Montepulciano based reds, citrusy Trebbianos and, most recently, fruity Pinot Grigios. This Pinot Grigio is a new addition to our Farinelli range. The estate proudly champions a traditional trellising system, 'pergola abruzzese', which ensures the grapes receive excellent exposure to the bright sunshine and so gain full ripeness. The result is a lovely balance of bright pear and apple fruit, teamed with minerally zip. It makes an ideal apéritif and goes well with fish, chicken and creamy pasta.

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.

Fresh aromas of grapefruit and zesty lemon with flavours of juicy green apple and quince. Its balanced and crispy acidity makes this the perfect aperitif for any occasion.

This striking limited edition GOLD bottle will be the easiest gift you give this year. It's no surprise to us that Prosecco is becoming so popular in Australia it's got the whole package. Fresh, lively, and loaded with fruit character, it is both the perfect aperitif and a standalone winner. From the north of Italy, Prosecco is one of the most approachable bubblies you can get your hands on. We have been on the lookout for the perfect Prosecco for a while and here it is. The Sensi is loaded with generous apples, pears and stonefruit, with a refreshing and dry finish.
