This is made made mainly from Primitivo grapes grown in the Salento peninsula - the warm and sunny heel of Italy. On arrival at the winery the grapes are crushed and pressed stright away keeping skin contact time down to a matter of a few seconds which gives the attractive pale colour while preserving all the fresh fruit flavours. The result is a wine bright pink in colour with a lively, youthful perfume of ripe strawberries and a touch of … more
The ANDUMA! range is an introduction to Piedmont; a vibrant viticultural region in the northwest of Italy that boasts some of the country’s best wines. In conjunction with a traditional family operation, we have bottled three typical wines of the area. The Dolcetto and the Langhe Nebbiolo are both unoaked, precise and definitive of their variety. Anduma! Barbaresco DOCG is fruit forward and utterly delicious, with classic faded red flowers and a suitably structured tannin profile. … more
Antica Torino is a partnership and project of passion between Vittorio Zoppi and Umbrian wine maker Filippo Antonelli. Rather than seeking out the exotic, often imported botanicals that go into more modern styled vermouth, Antica Torino takes a page out of the history books, a time when vermouth was created utilizing what was readily available locally. The decision was made to produce a vermouth that was "of the garden", packed with fresh rosemary, bay laurel, thyme, oregano, wormwood, gentian, rhubarb, … more
The nose of this Solaia is truly phenomenal with currants, blackberries, rose and violets. So perfumed. Full bodied and everything is in check and harmony with polished tannins that last for minutes. Purity and focus. Is it the greatest Solaia ever? So drinkable already, but this is a wine for ages ahead.

Hailing from the lower slopes of the Dolomites are the wines of Antonio Fattori. Locally regarded as exceptionally talented in cultivating Garganega and Pinot Grigio and producing wines that speak of the place they came from. The Soave is top notch and a great value for the dollars. Peachy stone fruit and zesty citrus, with a hint of green almond and sea-spray minerality.
Country: Italy
Made from 100% Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo).
In 2020 the family considered it such a spectacular, but very little little vintage, they thus decided from the small quantity to include some fruits of the single Cru into the Rosso.

Bardolino's time has come! The junior sibling to it's neighbour Valpolicella, Bardolino is 'Italy's Beaujolais'. These lighter, even chillable but still red, reds are ideal for much of the style of modern Australian eating
Nero d'Avola 60%, Frappato 40%
Founded in 1980 by three friends, COS is today synonymous with Cerasuolo di Vittoria.
In 2019, this wine is labelled as "Rosso", and not "Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico DOCG", because according to the DOCG rules the wine must be 13% alc or more, and in 2019 it is only 12.5%. Exactly same grapes, winemaking etc, just not approved by the DOCG due to the alcohol.
No chance to mistake this, with its abundance of darker things; stock, porcini, graphite, smoke and black cherry. Under this very typical Serralunga 'tarry/earthy' mantle though, are other complexities of dried roses, orange and spices. The firm and enlivening structure of a great Serralunga is here to underpin all this. Strong black tea tannins at present. All components are here.

Ammasso means a traditional winemaking technique that still today is used to vinify the best parcels in Sicily. This wine is a blend of Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon.
100% Pinot Grigio taken from a selection of five vineyards within Collio and Isonzo, all from very low crop yields (about 2/3 the permitted DOC limit). Hand harvested, soft pressed, with only the free run juice is vinified. Fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before bottling.
Always a complex wine, it exudes lush floral fruit and is both mellow and fresh at the same time with notes of spring flowers, and considerable weight and style.

Prugnolo, the local name for Sangiovese, is made without oak and bursts with fresh floral fruit (iris, violets, plums and blueberries), the palate juicy and refreshing. Its a lighter yet delicious take on Sangiovese from the winery Montepulciano.
