FRUILI AND VENETO
The Merlot
del Piave offers soft and fruity drinking from the beautiful Villa Sandi
estate, just north of Venice.
We have added to our range of wines
from Valpolicella and now have an excellent lower priced
range from Cantina di Negrar – don’t confuse lower price with poor
quality!

TUSCANY
The entry point Chianti from Volpetto
is well made with typical soft, black cherry fruit.
More serious are the Chianti Classico wines from Castello di Meleto, a stunning
estate l
ocated in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. With a rich history dating
back to Etruscan times,
the 1000 hectare estate (186 hectares of which are now dedicated to vines)
produces authentic
Chiantis of real class that focus on the natural aromas of the Sangiovese grape.

Two excellent
Sicilian wines both made from the Nero d'Avola. They are full of delicious
blackberry fruit and the
Baglio Curatolo is simply sensational. At the entry point level the
L Delfina Nero d 'Avola has delicious crunchy red cherry fruit.
