Antonio Federici Rosso Roma (187ml) 2021

Item Code: 4233721

Description

A perfumed, silky, cherry-packed red from close to Rome, using natives Montepulciano and Cesanese.



Antonio Federici is a small, 3rd-generation cellar in Lazio, just south of Rome. As you'll taste here, its wines are both authentic and exceptionally delicious.

Normally, they only supply their meagre output to top restaurants in Rome. But with most shut in 2020 and 2021, we managed to gain a small allocation of this superb, cherry-scented red.

On fine limestone soils (the rocks of which were used to build some of Rome's most famous buildings) they grow some of Italy's most characterful native grapes. From these they make a small range of highly awarded, rule-breaking wines.

No doubt the skill of top Italian consultant Franco and Matteo Bernabei come into play, as well as the commitment and passion of the family.

A great pizza or pasta red.

Gold Star Red Wine 2018

Item Code: 4082418

Description

The Gold Star label from this winery is reserved for wines that really stand out for quality. That's very true of this rich, dark Merlot, Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah blend, all from top Napa subregions. A velvety, spiced fruit Napa red to snap up.

This is a fabulous, rich, ripe, beautifully structured red from some of the top subregions of the Napa Valley. Stars that include Rutherford, St Helena and Oak Knoll. It's a small leftover parcel that was offered to our buyer at a really sharp price. She snapped it up on tasting it. We can't spill the beans on the source, but it really is the business, which you'll taste in every drop. Not only are the grapes – a luscious, mouthfilling blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah – from some of the Napa's smartest addresses, the 2018 vintage was "the finest of the past two decades." Critic Jeb Dunnuck concluded that "the wines are beautifully balanced and are going to age gracefully". A rich, long flavoured red. Decant for best results.

Low Stock Herdade Aldeia de Cima Reserva 2018

Herdade Aldeia de Cima Reserva 2018

Item Code: 4173918

Description

From Winemaker of the Year, Jorge Alvès, this is a very fine, elegant and expressive Alentejo red. All native grapes, sustainably grown, with a very light hand in the cellar, it is textured, complex and elegant with spiced black fruit and freshness.

You may know the name – Amorim – largest producers of cork in the world. This, however, is winemaking on a micro-scale, amongst the oak forests of Alentejo. The family have come together and restored a wine estate that was founded in 1758. They combine the very best modern thinking with the great traditions of the past – that means using clay-pot amphorae and terracotta tinajas, as well as barrels, for the winemaking. Above all, however, is a true respect for the area's ecosystem, with sustainability at its core, plus minimal intervention in the wine cellar. The vineyards for Almeia de Cima lie at the highest point (424 metres altitude) to ensure a freshness and balance to this fine wine, made from all-native Portuguese grapes. Open early.
