This top-selling Rioja is made from 100% Tempranillo. Its popularity in no doubt due to the beguiling raspberry jam character which has no rough edges.

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.

A deep coloured wine with plenty of ripe fruit flavour, which is nonetheless really soft and approachable. All this great flavour and fair trade to boot! Perfect for the BBQ food.

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

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.
