Wine Summary

In 1968 western Sicily was rocked by an earthquake. Such was the devastation, residents of Poggioreale had no choice but to abandon their properties and rebuild further down the hill. Whole settlements became ghost towns overnight. This included Dino’s grandfather’s Nero d’Avola vineyards. 50 years on, Dino set out to recover his grandfather’s lost plot of land. He found it wild and uncultivated, yet producing jewel-like grapes with amazing flavour. In 2017 he made his first ‘revived’ vintage which proved a sensation with customers. It's pure Nero d’Avola, a Sicilian grape, fast becoming a fashionable pick in smart restaurants. Dino’s creation is packed with rich black fruits and spice. A top choice with sausage casserole.

Wine Summary

Italy’s deep south is best known for big, smoky wines made from its prized local varieties – Primitivo, Negroamaro, and in this case the uniquely Puglian Susumaniello grape. In local dialect Susumaniello means something like “loaded like a donkey”, referring to the wine’s massive amounts of aroma and flavour. Pillastro’s creator Angelo Maci is a leading figure in Puglia’s recent quality revolution, and is fervently proud of local traditions and rare grape varieties. As fans of southern Italian wines – and Pillastro fans in particular – will agree, Puglia offers “undreamed-of character and potential” (Hugh Johnson), and mouthwatering Susumaniello is the supreme example of this. Aromas of prunes, blackberries and exotic spices. Serve in large glasses with braised lamb shanks or caponata.

Wine Summary

Grape grower Natale Seghesio is known as 'il Poeta' ('the Poet') to his friends, both for his lyrical compositions (featured on the label), but also for the intensely flavoured produce of his vines, growing in the premium Piedmont hills. Talented winemaker Paolo Sartirano snaps up Natale's grapes every year, taking them to his family's cellar. Founded in 1871, this cellar is now 150 years old and today in the hands of the fourth generation. Barolo is a northern Italian classic and Paolo has crafted Il Poeta to be a truly poetical expression of the finest Nebbiolo. Three years ageing in large barrels ensures the fruit marries perfectly with the subtle oak. Deeply flavoured and complex, the wine is best opened a few hours early and decanted. Or left to age. Its, firm tannins support cherry, plum, flower and spice notes, and it's best enjoyed with hearty dishes.

Wine Summary

Named after the sparrowhawk – a bird of strength and elegance – that often graces the skies, Casale dello Sparviero is a beautiful Tuscan estate. It has an 800-year-old history, with its oldest vineyard dedicated to grapes since 1169. Its current owners bought the farm in the Chianti heartland in the 1970s. A businessman from the Veneto, Olindo Andrighetti could sense the huge potential of what he'd taken on and set about restoring its vineyards, olive groves, woodland and buildings. In 1994, his daughter Ada took the helm and is helped today by her son, Arrigo. Two of Italy's finest consultants, Franco and Matteo Bernabei, lead the winemaking, ageing this Classico 12 months in large oak barrels, the rest in bottle. Open early and decant.
