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 delicious. Normally, they only supply their meagre output to top restaurants in Rome.
But with most shut in 2020, we managed to gain a small allocation of this superb, cherry-scented red. And again, the following year. 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 award-winning wines. No doubt the skill of top Italian consultant Franco and Matteo Bernabei comes into play, as well as the commitment and passion of the family.
A silky, smooth, easy red.
Lying deep in the warmth of southern Italy, Puglia is a haven for authentic, rich reds that exceed expectations without breaking the bank. Our buyer, Leo, took great pleasure in reserving this wine, named after its talented winemaker Leonardo Palumbo. Winemaker Leo says it’s a rule of his family that you only put your name on the label of a wine you’re really delighted with. And he is!
This wine showcases a luscious, smooth blend of Puglia’s finest red grapes. Nero di Troia for elegant peppery fruit, Negroamaro for deep colour, ripe plum hints and structure, and Primitivo for damson hints and deeper bass notes. Together, they make the perfect ensemble – dark, ripe deliciousness. Best with grilled meats or a hearty veggie casserole.
Wine Enthusiast calls Amarone “one of 15 icons in Italian wine”. They are certainly some of the country’s most treasured reds. Rooted in the ancient tradition of sun-drying grapes before fermentation, Amarone wines offer exceptional richness and a glorious combination of power and complexity that cellars well, too. No wonder they are sought after worldwide. This 2020 from esteemed Cantina Negrar pays tribute to 18th century poet Bartolomeo Lorenzi, whose epic poems celebrating rural life made Valpolicella wines famous.
The grapes are from the ancient, dry, stone terraces of the cool Marano Valley, where they ripen slowly. They are then air-dried for 120 days to intensify flavours. Decant early and enjoy with hearty dishes, or cellar.
If you love big, powerful reds that make a statement, choose this gorgeous, dense, cherry charged Amarone. It’s made by specialist of this style Cantina Negrar – Italy’s 2016 ‘Winery of the Year’. Rich and packed with spiced red fruits!

Customers have enjoyed Paolo Masi's exceptional, great-value Chiantis, bestsellers too. This is the launch of his exciting new red, richer and weightier than the norm. Using part dried grapes, this Sangiovese-Syrah is a 93-point sensation.

To celebrate 25 great years of Pillastro, this special 25th anniversary edition uses the darkly spiced Primitivo grape that you know and love, but with extra oomph and intensity. The legendary Angelo Maci added two special parcels of grapes to the blend – a cuvée that enjoyed a full six months ageing in barrel for an extra spicy kick, and grapes that enjoyed extra hang time on the vines to ensure even more concentration and richness. The result? A velvety, lusciously deep spiced-berry Italian red, taken up a notch in intensity. It's amazing, take it home at 49% off now.

Angelo turns their tiny quantities of dark, spicy grapes into a very special red of remarkable depth and satisfying richness.
If it weren’t for Angelo Maci, many of the last remaining century-old vines in Puglia would have been uprooted by now.
