Description

Italy is the land of the vines - bringing so much to the table (and your wine rack!). It is home to over 3,000 different grape varieties from 20 different regions - with more than enough gastronomic recipes to match.

For reds alone, we start with Sangiovese from Tuscany's Chianti country or head down south to savour the rich and flavoursome Nero d’Avola from Sicily. But that's just the tip of the iceberg ... this collectors case brings you the best of Italy in one convenient 6 pack mix.

1 x Siro Pacenti Rosso di Montalcino 2014 (Tuscany)

AWARDED 91/100 POINTS: Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

"The 2014 Rosso di Montalcino is one of the better Rossos of the vintage. Dark, pliant and expressive, the 2014 offers notable depth, with plenty of dark red cherry, plum, mocha and spice notes. This is a commendable effort from Giancarlo Pacenti, and one of the rare overachievers of the vintage. In 2014, Pacenti declassified a significant portion of his Brunello down to the Rosso, and that was after losing 50% of the total crop to bad weather." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

Awarded Chianti Classic TROPHY: Falstaff Magazine 2018

Awarded 90/100 POINTS: Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Awarded 90/100 POINTS: Wine Spectator

A classic blend of 90% Sangiovese, 6% Canaiolo and 4% Colorino

"The 2015 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and leather are nicely pushed forward in this attractive, supple Chianti Classico. The ripeness of the year comes through nicely, but without distorting the wine's very classic, midweight feel. Although quite ripe, the 2015 retains striking minerality and salinity." Antonio Galloni, Vinous

1 x Volpetto Chianti 2014 (Tuscany)

AWARDED 87 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2018

AWARDED SILVER MEDAL: Mundus Vini International Wine Awards

"Classically expressed, the bouquet shows sweet berry, fragrant spice, dark mushroom, black olive and almond characters. The palate is juicy and vibrant, delivering elegant fruit intensity and fine texture, leading to a pleasingly dry finish. A friendly middle-weight Chianti for everyday drinking. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2018

Volpetto is a small range of totally modern wines, made using the best possible methods to bring out the very best in the grape variety.
