Chile’s USP has become carmenère and this is your chance to try it in its pure, unadulterated state. Sweet, ripe, lightly-peppery cherry flavours abound on this medium-bodied wine.

Selected fruit from strictly controlled yields this fine 100% Merlot Bordeaux Supérieur is a glowing example of what can be achieved with dedication

Lovingly sourced by the Jasci family from a number of well-sited plots of vines in the province of Chieti in Abruzzo, this dark, juicy Montepulciano exhibits all the classic hallmarks of this much loved wine style. Ripe, dark autumnal hedgerow fruits mingle with notes of spice and a touch of liquorice. Fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks and cement vats in order to safeguard as much of the pure fruit expression as possible. The tannins are well sculpted, lending an attractive dry edge to the finale, ensuring that the wine is appreciated at its best when served at table with traditional Italian cuisine. The Jasci family themselves suggest drinking it with a plate of potato gnocchi or pasta with beans.

This red is from an organic estate based in Tierra de Castilla, a sub region of La Mancha.
