A full bodied red with deeply inviting aromas of rich fruit, almond and cinammon and a smooth velvety palate, rich with flavours of cherry, musk, spices and vanilla. Simply outstanding.

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.

The Feudo Maccari Saia is made from selected plots of bush vines that are mostly 30-40 years old and are grown on south-facing higher ground where the calcium-rich soil gives greater delicacy and perfume. The grapes undergo 20 days maceration with regular punching-down of the cap. Then the wine is matured for 0-4 months in French barriques and aged in bottle for 6 months prior to release.

This full-bodied, velvety barbera from a wonderful vintage is really the perfect dinner-party red, full of black cherry, plum, violets, spice and leather all combined in this well-balanced wonderfully food-friendly Italian fine wine.

Color: deep ruby red, clear and bright. Bouquet: very pronounced fruit. Notes of redcurrants, cherries and plums that give freshness to the wine and meld with mineral, ethereal, spicy and vanilla-like hints. Flavor: rich, fresh and well-balanced fruit. The concentration of the dry extract is notable and admirably set off by considerable tannic structure, very lively acidity and a level of alcohol that ensure good ageing potential. The retro-olfactory sensations echo those on the nose. This is a long, fresh, concentrated and very elegant wine. Suited for ageing: it has a long future ahead of it.

A wine which has become the illustration of changes in Sicilian wine. It was created from a wish to compete in the world production of this noble and widespread vine. After a long process beginning in 1985, full of surprises and successes, today Planetas Chardonnay is an icon for the whole of Sicily. The vines of Ulmo and Maroccoli, from which it is made, are unique for position and terroir. Fermentation and aging in French wood, with precision and care, present us with a wine unique for its grace and power
