Italy is a wonderful patchwork quilt of a country with incredible regionality and local traditions. Nowhere more is this apparent than in the rich profusion of indigenous grape varieties that grace the slopes and plains of many of Italy's wine producing regions. Wine production in the country dates back over a thousand years but it wasn't until relatively recently that a wave of young producers started to turn their attention to producing eye catching fine wines. Some did this by introducing international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay but others have worked hard with their native varieties to showcase just what a wealth of riches the country has to offer. This has had a profound effect on all aspects of Italian wine production and some would say that this is its golden age, with high quality available from house wines all the way up to the great wines of Barolo, Chianti and Brunello.
We are proud to represent some of the true icons of the Italian wine scene and with the recent run of fine vintages there has never been a better time to discover some of these gems.

Full, rich and complex with hints of spice. Sweet and sour fruits: orange and grapefruit over a core of minerality. Very vibrant and joyful with zippy acidity, this Verdeca enlivens the palate and begs for salty seafood. Incredibly moreish and quite astonishingly good value. This wine is exceptional and a real treat for food and wine lovers, as it will...

Dark, attractive notes of ripe plum, blackcurrant, cherry and fruit compote create a generous and wild aroma. The palate is suave, rich and full bodied; soft rounded tannins balance an opulent array of violet and morello cherries. There is real presence here as the fresh, youthful vibrancy is counterbalanced by its velvety, layered texture. The overall impression is...
