Italy is a wonderful patchwork quilt of a country with incredible regionality and local traditions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the rich profusion of indigenous grape varieties that grace the slopes and plains of many of Italy's wine-producing regions. While wine production dates back centuries, it wasn't until relatively recently that a wave of producers set new benchmarks for fine Italian Wines. Whether you like a more modernist or traditionalist approach, international or indigenous varieties, the Italian wine scene has never been more exciting.

The palate is multi-dimensional with layers of deep, dark fruit flavours intermingled with mineral notes and exotic spices. Fine, velvety tannins, and a racy finish, give an aristocratic...

A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 10% cabernet franc it may be, but this is nothing like Bordeaux! Cool blue berry fruits, spice and rich lilac perfume lift out of the glass followed by hints of spice. In the mouth the fruit is ripe and generous, with layers of herb, eucalyptus and spice but the lacy mineral...

The fruit is coulis in character, with dissolved vanilla oak notes. Lovely touches of spice, smoke, even mint shows themselves with a vital core of acidity and great length of flavour. This is a...

This is 100% Merlot and the coolness of the vintage definitely suited it. The nose takes a while to come alive, but spices, chocolate and black pepper sit on top of cherry and blackberry fruit; tantalising and inviting. There is a lovely orange zest acidity with perfectly ripe blue fruit, leather and wood shavings. Layer upon layer of flavour builds...
