"Super-Tuscans" are known for their depth, complexity and ageing potential. Fertuna's Lodai is an excellent introduction to this style of wine, made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot & 10% Sangiovese aged for 12 months in oak.

Fertuna's Pactio was created to celebrate the meeting of Fertuna and Nicolo Incisa della Rocchetta (of Sassicaia fame). This fruit-driven Tuscan blend comprises 60% Sangiovese with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, aged for 4 months in new French oak to add toasty complexity.

The Toscana Rosso from Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona is a blend of Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Sangiovese comes from the youngest plots of vines that are used to produce their Rosso and Brunello Di Montalcini.

A top Chianti Classico Riserva with 80% of the wine spending 18 months in Slavonian oak and 20% aged in French oak barriques. Very classic in style showing deep, powerful black and red cherry fruit with violet and black pepper. A truly fantastic wine.

From an excellent family producers, a classic blend of Corvina, Molinara and Rhondinella. A ripe nose of cherry fruit and a palate to match.

From Beradenga in Southern Chianti Classico, Villa La Pagliaia Chianti Classico is made from 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo from 25 year old vines.

A serious wine for Pinot lovers. Savoury and agricultural balanced with classic Pinot cherry fruit.

No ordinary Pinot Grigio. From the Coop at Cavit in Trentino, a citrus and floral nose followed by a broad white fruit palate.

Aromas of ripe, plummy fruit with a hint of spice. Medium-bodied with soft juicy berry fruit balanced by fresh acidity, lightly herbal notes and easy supple tannins.

Appealing aromas of citrus and ripe peach, with notes of brioche. On the palate fresh apple and lightly floral characters, ripe and textural, balanced by crisp citrus acidity, and a persistent mousse.
