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.

This collection includes:

2 x Canapi Sicily Nero d’Avola 2017 (Italy)

Awarded Gold Medal: Sakura Women's Wine Awards 2019

"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.

Made by award-winning winemaker Stefano Chioccioli, this is modern Chianti at its best. Packed full of sour cherry, red-berry fruits, a nice touch of oak and silky smooth: a superb modern and well-made wine that will appeal to everyone, not just fans of Italian reds.

2 x Carlomagno Appassimento Puglia IGT Primitivo 2016 (Italy)

Awarded Gold Medal: Mundus Vini 2018

Awarded Gold Medal: Berlin Wine Trophy 2017

Awarded Gold Medal: Berlin Wine Trophy 2018

From the warmth of the Puglian hills comes this substantial Primitivo. This full bodied red is made in the 'Appassimento' method whereby the grapes are picked when they reach perfect maturity, they are harvested and left to dry on straw mats in the sun for about 12 days, this concentrates the natural flavours, losing around a quarter of their natural weight. The grapes are gently pressed, allowing the skin to remain intact and ensures maximum colour extraction.  Fermentation takes place for 8-10 days with frequent pumping over. This attention to detail produces a full-bodied, rich and powerful wine with an intense ruby colour.
