Villa Barcaroli 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Italian Red
Juicy red berries lead, joined by subtle spice and earthy, savoury depth. The palate is generous but unforced, with supple structure and natural freshness keeping the fruit lively. Stainless-steel ageing preserves its energy and purity, while a lightly rustic edge gives the finish character, balance and an easy affinity with food.
Lammidia 2018 Sciambagn Sparkling White
Italian Sparkling
Ripe fruit, apple and dried-fruit notes meet a light touch of honey and fresh yeast. Fine natural bubbles lift the palate, where bright acidity keeps the gentle fruit and low-alcohol frame refreshing. Bottle refermentation adds a lightly rustic texture, and the finish remains clean, lively and easy-flowing.
Lammidia 2018 Crick Sparkling Rosé
Italian Sparkling
White cherry, lime peel and pink peppercorn open with water apple and marigold flowers. The palate is electric and brightly fruited, with luminous acidity and deep mineral drive carrying the natural bubbles. Early harvesting preserves freshness, while spontaneous fermentation builds a lively, lightly savoury texture through the crisp, energetic finish.
La Valentina 2015 Bellovedere Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC Terre dei Vestini Riserva
Italian Red
Mentholated herbs, tobacco and anise frame a concentrated core of brandied cherry. The palate is medium-bodied, polished and bright, with red fruit folding neatly into measured barrel spice. Well-mannered tannins provide supportive structure, extending the fruit and savoury detail through an assured, composed, lingering finish.
Tiberio 2017 Archivio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOP
Italian Red
Intensely aromatic yet composed, with smoky dark cherry and red cherry layered over spice, violet, rose and licorice. The palate is powerful but elegant, combining smooth texture with vibrant freshness and concentrated fruit. Fine structure gathers through the middle, while the finish remains long, poised and distinctly savoury rather than heavy.
Cirelli NV Vino da Tavola Rosso
Italian Red
Red cherry, raspberry and plum set a generous, immediately appealing tone, with oregano and other herbal notes adding a savoury edge. The palate is juicy and medium-bodied, but a chewy texture and firm tannic grip keep the fruit from feeling simple. Fresh, energetic and food-friendly, it suits tomato-based pasta, grilled sausages, roast vegetables or hard cheese.
