Monte del Frà Lena di Mezzo Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 75cl, 15.5%
In stock
Deep ruby red colour rich in garnet notes. On the nose aromas of cherries, black cherries, plums, liquorice, and leather, to which are added the hints of pepper and cinnamon and, finally, undergrowth. But it is on the palate that the wine shows its extreme elegance and harmony of flavours: at the same time, it reveals a harmonious and velvety yet robust and complex character, dry and full-bodied, generous, and austere.

Guidalberto 2016 TENUTA SAN GUIDO Toscana 75cl, 14%
In stock
ROBERT PARKER (94)
This wine is showing exceptionally well in this classic vintage. The 2016 Guidalberto (Cabernet Sauvignon and a smaller percentage of Merlot) opens to a full and generous bouquet and a beautifully rich and velvety appearance. This edition of Tenuta San Guido’s mid-level wine offers a bigger aromatic profile, more texture and more volume as well. Dark cherry and blackberry segue to spice, tar, leather and sweet fruit at the end. The mouthfeel is elegantly shaped, silky and nuanced. This may well be the best vintage of Guidalberto I have yet to taste—and you can get this wine at a great price too.
JAMES SUCKLING (95)
This is extremely perfumed with aromas of lavender, cinnamon, blackberries, bark and blackcurrants. Full-bodied, extremely refined and polished. Gorgeous fruit and balance. Best ever bottling of this pretty wine from the producers of Sassicaia?

the bottle, the lenght depends from the characteristics of the vintages, but never less than 12 months.

Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 75cl, 14.5%
In stock
Sangiovese wine grapes with some Merlot and Colorina added to the mix. The 2017 Chianti came from a hot vintage with drought conditions. Higher elevation vineyards did enjoy some cooling breezes overnight giving some relief to the grapes and balance to the wine. This example is intense with dark fruit, clove, anise, dark cherry, grilled wild herbs and smoky flavours on the palate with balanced acidity to match. Pour with a meat-lover’s pizza.
Chianti Classico food pairings: meat-sauce pasta, meat lovers’ pizza, beef stew.

Cesari Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico DOC 50cl, 13%
In stock
The predecessor of Amarone, Recioto is the appellation’s signature dessert wine produced using a similar method. Flavors of raisined fruit, particularly cherries, are highly concentrated. Vanilla notes add structure to this powerful, rich red. The tannins are ripe and sweet rounding out the finish. Dried clusters are vinified in stainless steel and aged 18 months in French oak barrels. Unlike its predecessor, Recioto’s fermentation is halted, thus allowing it to retain a higher concentration of residual sugar.

Following the traditional Amarone production method, the grapes are dried in Riondo’s temperature-controlled warehouse until the January following the harvest. The wine is aged in oak for 24 months. Bold fruit aromas of Morello cherry and plump blackberry followed by light spicy notes of cinnamon and clove. The wine displays soft tannins with an alluring note of sweet spices on the finish
