This delicious red has been recently upgraded to DOC status, meaning lower yields and greater concentration. With rich brambly fruits backed by fine tannins, this is a ripe style that pairs well with food, and offers incredible value for money.

Classic barrique-aged Barbera d'Asti from the oldest vineyards of the Il Cascinone estate.

Accessible and delicious example of a modern style of Amarone in a distinctive black frosted bottle.

The Capitel della Crosara vineyard lies in the heart of the Valpolicella region and gives its name to Montresor's top Amarone and Ripassso. This is an excellent example with bright, fresh cherry fruit.

A fresh, sweet and wonderfully complex limoncello. Sicilian lemon peel is infused in the alcohol to produce a rich, fresh and natural taste of lemon.

A tasty drop of bitter cherries and rounded tannins - sumptuous!This is the perfect accompaniment to Italian antipasti, soups, pasta dishes and to the wide variety of dishes that the Mediterranean area has to offer. Valpolicella also compliments roasted and grilled white meats. It is also an ideal summer red to drink with fish dishes. Serve at 16 C (61 F)and open the bottle a few minutes before drinking.

The wine veers towards the modern and international side of the Brunello style spectrum. Thanks to the high caliber of the vintage, style does not trump quality. The bouquet peels back to reveal black cherry, black currant, spice, cigar box and rosemary twig. Distant notes of chocolate and toasted almond play supporting roles. The wine offers extraordinary texture with firm tannins that are balanced out against the soft plushness of the fruit. This is a terrific Brunello.

Aromas of dark berry, violet and scorched earth take shape on this. The bright palate offers juicy Marasca cherry, clove and star anise alongside polished tannins and fresh acidity.
