The wines of Central Italy

Tuscany - White Wines

Fattoria di Felsina Berardenga

I Sistri is a superbly rich oak aged Chardonnay from the Chianti estate, Felsina Berardenga. Deep colour, distinctive vanilla oak, and a lasting powerful dry finish highlight the winemaking skills of this fine estate at its best.

Central Italy - White Wines

Gran Sasso

More often than not Trebbiano is a run of the mill, fairly neutral grape, but with careful vineyard practice and lower yields suprisingly good wine can be produced. Crisp in character, a bit of substance on the palate and a lively, clean finish.

Salviano

Since 1995 this estate has been owned by the same family who are patrons of the great Sassicaia property. This aromatic white has crisp acidity and good depth.

Cantine Belisario

An unoaked, fresh and minerally white from mid-altitude vineyards. Organically produced although the vineyards are still waiting accreditation.

Carlo Damiani

Two good value wines from the now increasingly popular Pinot Grigio grape. The smooth and lemony dry white is accompanied by the subtle strawberry flavours of the Rosé, a new phenomenon to the UK wine trade.

Tuscany - Red Wines

Where the Sangiovese grape is King, Tuscany produces some quite brilliant red wines. The most famous, of course is Chianti. However Carmignano provides an exceptional wine, full rich and smokey with length and great depth.

Cantine Leonardo

Voted "Great Value Red Wine of the Year" in the 2002 International Wine Challenge, Antonini is the consultant here too, a busy man?, but the quality to cost ratio is quite remarkable.

Riccardo Falchini

A charming man who has been producing wines for forty years.

Bright and balanced with the telltale firm Finish. Exceptional value.

Isole e Olena

We have bought wine from this exceptional estate for 10 years. Seductive and supple now it has the stuffing to last a decade or more. If more wine growers were as conscientious as Paolo de Marchi there would be many more quality individual wines around.

Conte Bonacossi

A perfect partner to a nice fillet of beef!

Tenuta di Argiano

Giacomo Tachis, the consultant winemaker at this stunning property, is revered in the winemaking world. We sell our allocation of this wine every year and always eagerly await the new vintage.

Azienda Agricola Canneto

Dark and sensual these rich and stylish wines have lush cherry flavours. The Rosso di Montepulciano is a velvety

ripe wine, the Vino Nobile is a complex and distinctive warming wine of great depth. Both wines are produced from the Sangiovese grape.
