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.
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.

Di Prima shows that can Sicily excel as well with the Rhône's prized red grape. This wine is our latest discovery from Italian island, which is proving one of the most exciting places to make wine. Enjoy its black fruit and chocolatey spice.

Pillastro Primitivo is one of our best-loved wines. The three-time Winery of the Year has blended Cabernet with Primitivo, from 80-year-old vines, to make this dark swarthy red. It's barrel aged as well to add oak spice to the rich fruit.
This plush and powerful example comes from Dino Taschetta, who uses old vine fruit from his grandfather's vineyard, high up in Poggioreale. It was abandoned after an earthquake, but when Dino discovered the quality of the ancient vines, he returned to create this silky and sensuous black red.

A rich, spicy wine from Italy’s Puglia. It’s made from pure Primitivo, the Italian name for California’s Zinfandel, air-dried for 4 weeks to add even more intense, punchy flavour, just like they do for pricey Amarone.
