Italian Luxury Mixed Case

Product Description

Italy & France are by far the world's largest wine-producing countries in the world. In fact, the region of Puglia, in the heel of the Italian boot, produces as much wine as the whole of Australia! It's no surprise that the variety of wine produced within this beautiful country is huge, & the choice can be somewhat overwhelming! That is why we have put together a mixed case for you six luxury wines from all over Italy, including a powerful & rich Amarone, which is a dry wine made from dried grapes, to a complex & intense Barolo from Piedmont, the land of truffles. Tasting notes: Scanavino Barbaresco DOCG 2008 Fantastic crimson-violet colour, this prestigious Barbaresco offers oak, liquorice & black fruit on the complex nose. It is wonderfully warming on the palate with a good concentration of fruit supported by silky tannins. The finish is long & complex. Gran Maestro Amarone della Valpollicella DOC 2007 The Amarone is a dry version of the Recioto della Valpolicella. A powerful wine with a strong concentrated nose & a velvety taste.
