Ca di Ponti Nero d Avola from Sicily is a deeply coloured, full-flavoured, spicy red wine with aromas of ripe plum and black cherry. The palate combines warm, juicy red fruit flavours with savoury, lightly smoky characters and a hint of bitter chocolate on the long finish. The grapes for this wine are sourced from southern Sicily, around Riesi which is Nero d Avolas traditional heartland. It is all fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks and bottled whilst young without any oak aging thus retaining the lovely fresh fruit notes evident in this wine.

Conviviale Montepulciano d Abruzzo is an intense wine with cherry, ripe plum fruit aromas and warm, earthy spice and the palate is densely packed with morello cherry, cassis and bramble fruit flavours. There are ripe tannins on the palate that give structure and make it a substantial wine with a fresh sappy finish. It is produced from selected parcels of Montepulciano grapes, from low yielding thirty to fifty year old vines in the Chieti province of Abruzzo. Fermentation took place in small batches and after malolactic fermentation the wine was transferred to Adrias cellars and matured in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and French oak barriques for six to eight months. This integrates all the fruit, acidity and tannins and adds a softness overall.

Appealing aromas of fresh red fruit and a touch of black pepper spice. A fresh, medium-bodied style with red and black berry fruit characters, and a hint of spice balanced by tangy acidity.
