Ultima Edizione NV

This is winemaker Dennis Verdecchia’s ultimate creation – a dense, dark, spicy-fruit Italian red

Ultima Edizione started a few years back as a special project from the Farnese cellar. Based in an ancient castle in Abruzzo, the cellar has a terrific reputation and has been named Italy’s ‘Winery of the Year’ three times in a row. We've been working with them for many years and for this wine we gave them free rein to produce the best red possible, regardless of region. Talented winemaker today is Dennis Verdecchia, who cherry picked tiny parcels of premium soft, ripe Montepulciano and Sangiovese from Abruzzo, and dark Primitivo and spicy Negroamaro from sun baked vineyards in Puglia in the south. Barrel ageing, then blending has produced this intensely flavoured red. Weighty, it’s best with roasted pork belly or a beany casserole.
