Artigiano Nero D’Avola 2017 Italy
Artigiano Nero D’Avola 2017 ItalyArtigiano Nero D’Avola 2017 – Nero d’Avola is Siciliy’s most precious red grape and one of Italy’s most important indigenous varietals. Until the 1980s it was almost exclusively used to add colour and weight to the lighter reds of France and Northern Italy as it had a tendency to run to alcohol. However modern techniques, both in the vineyard and in the winery, allow winemakers nowadays to maintain the inherent varietal character without the overwhelming alcohol. As a result Nero is often compared to Shiraz, with smooth fruit flavours and very approachable tannins.

Biscardo Neropasso Rosso Veneto 2016 Italy
Biscardo Neropasso Rosso Veneto 2016 ItalyBiscardo Neropasso Rosso Veneto 2016 – Made from an interesting blend of indigenous Italian varietals (Corvinone and Corvina) and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is referred to as a ‘baby Amarone’.Classified as a Rosso Veneto IGT due to the inclusion of a non-Italian varietal it replicates the Amarone production method of ‘appassimento’ – drying healthy grapes before crushing and fermenting.

Intense bright ruby colour with lifted, fresh red fruit aromas of ripe plum, juicy red cherries and vanilla.These follow through to the palate to balance with soft acidity and velvety tannins that extend into a long, satisfying finish.
