Bardolino, Monte del Fra
£14.95
Monte del Fra is a great family winery based just south of Lake Garda in the Veneto region, north-east Italy.
Run by the Bonomo family since 1958 and now in the hands of brothers Eligio and Claudio, it is one of the most progressive and quality-minded producers in the area.
The Bardolino zone lies to the east of Lake Garda and these once-popular wines have been overshadowed by bigger and more ‘impressive’ wines of neighbouring Valpolicella. However, this wine shows just how good they can be when care is taken in the vineyards and in the winery – Monte del Fra certainly do that.
An unoaked blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, this is a delightfully light, juicy and vibrant wine with enormous gluggability! Bags of fresh cherry and strawberry flavours and very light tannins combine to make a wine that is so easy to drink. On hot days it’s really good served chilled, straight from the fridge – just watch out you don’t drink it too quickly!
Perfect for outdoor drinking, picnics, lunches of cheese and salami, anti-pasti, a mid-week bowl of pasta with tomato sauce, good pizzas…you get the idea.

Frappato, Mandrarossa, Sicily
The Mandrarossa wines come from a selection of the best sites from Cantine Settesoli’s 6,000 hectares of vineyard, situated in southwestern Sicily and planted with 32 different grape varieties. The vineyards are split between the 2,000 members of the co-op, and cover the area around Selinunte, the hauntingly beautiful ruins of a Greek town founded 2,600 years ago. Cantine Settesoli helps to support the restoration of this archaeological site.
First produced in 1999, Mandrarossa has opened its own winery in 2021, a completely sustainable winery fed by solar panels and well integrated with the surrounding hills. The winery has increasingly focused on single-site wines, as it was conceived after the diverse soils of the vineyards were mapped, enabling the winemakers to focus on what were then ranked their best sites. Under the leadership of co-operative president Giuseppe Bursi, consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini has sought to improve viticulture, which has resulted in better wines.
This Frappato (grape variety), is perfumed, light and fresh. Lots of juicy red fruit flavours and great balance make this a versatile food wine. Perfect with pizza and light meat dishes, it can also be chilled and drunk with fish dishes.

Perfect for BBQ's and a really versatile wine to have on hand, complementing pizza, meaty pasta, pork chops...
