Italy
full-bodied & elegant
Classical method is prescribed for Franciacorta in Lombardy, but as good as this 100% Chardonnay (ie, a blanc de blancs) and 24 months of lees in the bottle makes this sparkling wine so sublime and delicious.
strong & full-bodied
As befits a good Sagrantino, this "beginner" from di
Filippo is packed with sweet fruit, plump cherries, notes of underbrush, a hefty
liquorice and a truckload of tannin. Matured in wooden barrels.
Goes well with game, braised red meat, hard cheeses.
In addition to the classic aromas of plums, spices and sweet cherries, this primitivo, which has been developed in the wood, has a strong note of vanilla, bitter chocolate and carnations with a full but never heavy structure.
strong & full-bodied
Plum-spicy, aromatic, a real Primitivo. Fruity and spicy, berries and cloves. Cowardly fruit without any disturbing cooked or
marmalade flavours. Goes well with game dishes, oven vegetables, hard cheeses.
full-bodied & elegant
Strict selection of the grapes. Sangiovese, Merlot and Sagrantino form the basis and expanded with great skill in wooden barrels. A wine with a lot of warmth and elegant touches and lots of fire.
