The grape of Tuscany, Sangiovese is widely used in production of Tuscan wines. This wine is light & fruity with a soft finish 

 

 

Probably the best known grape variety of them all. This merlot from Central Italy has the slightest of oak againg & is soft to the palate.

The famous wine from the centre of Tuscany between Florence & Sienna is presented in the traditional flask. It is undoubtedly on every Tuscan family table at meal times.

A super Tuscan from Andrea Bocelli's finest vineyards. Very lightly oaked & about 20% of the blend spends a year in French oak. It has a wonderful taut freshness & the finish is dry.

Tanca Farrà 

13.5%, Sardegna 

I was introduced to this wine many years ago by a Sardinian friend of mine. I fell in love with it; it's exceptional. A blend of Cannonai & Cabernet Sauvignon. Three years of aging, first in barriques then in large Slavonian oak casks. The palate is full-bodied with a smooth, Cabernet-fruit resonance.

Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 

13.5%, Toscana 

The Nobile wine of Tuscany, many would argue the best. This particular estate is near Valiano, my father's birthplace. In this region Sangiovese grapes are called 'Prugnolo Gentile' due to their supererior quality. If you enjoy red wines, this is a must. It's full bodied, rich & lingering on the palate.

Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico Riserva Gran Selezione 

13.5%, Toscana 

It is truely one of the best Chianti I have tasted from the great house of Ruffino. It really is the 'gold reserve' of Chianti. Once reserved for the Italian kings hence the only wine in Italy to have the word 'Riserva' in it's name twice.

Barolo Il Bastione 

14%, Piemonte 

This wine needs no introduction. Everyone knows Barolo, for good reason. It is a fabulous intense garnet red wine, aged for three years in large oak barrels. The best wine from Piemonte, it is full bodied yet has smooth tannins with developed savoury furity flavours. 

Btl 39.95 

Brunello di Montalcino 

13.5%, Toscana 

This is the king of wines in my opinion. The beautiful hill town of Montalcino has it's vineyards 480 metres above sea level which allows it to produce this very elegant Brunello, from hand-picked Sangiovese grapes. Aged in oak for 30 months, it shows an intense fragrance of red fruits & well-rounded tannins. Simply the best
