Morgon ‘Corcelette’, Frederic Berne
Delicious Beaujolais from a great, fairly new, producer. Frederic has only been making his own wines since 2013 but is one of the rising stars of this, once-again fashionable areas. Corcelette is one of the best vineyards in Beaujolais and it shows the Gamay grape at its best. The wine is so bright and energetic, it is a real joy to drink; perfect with pates, charcuterie or with a great cheese board – the perfect wine for us!
‘Contado’ Aglianico, Di Majo Norante
This organic estate in the small, remote region of Molise in Southern Italy makes truly exceptional wines that are also amazing value. The grape here is Aglianico which produces some of the most famous wines (Taurasi) in neighbouring Campania. Whereas there it makes wines with huge tannic structure, Di Majo Norante produce a softer, more approachable version, whilst retaining the depth and complexity. For the money, I believe this is one of Italy’s best value wines. A great wine for steaks, bbq, roasts, pretty much anything meaty. Delicious.
Salice Salentino Riserva, Cantele
Cantele, located in Puglia in the 'heel' of Italy are known for producing some of the country's best value wines and this is perhaps the best value of all. The grape variety is Negroamaro and the wine is rich, full-bodied with lots of dark, brambly fruit flavours and a long, lingering finish. It tastes a lot more expensive than it is!A great wine for roast lamb with lots of rosemary and garlic.
Zinfandel ‘Heritage’, De Loach
De Loach was founded in 1973 by San Francisco Firefighter Cecil De Loach. The estate was later taken over by Burgundian Jean-Charles Boisset, who has converted all their vineyards to organic and bodynamic practices.
This wine is unusual in that it presents great Californian wine at a sensible price, usually there is the mass-produced stuff at the bottom end of the market and then a big jump to the premium £30+ end. This is a great wine at a great price. Medium/full-bodied with loads of juicy bramble fruit and smooth, velvety tannins. A crowd-pleaser and a great pizza or BBQ wine.
Piceno ‘Bacchus’, Ciu Ciu
From the Marche region of central Italy, Ciu Ciu is a lovely organic producer who make really characterful wines at a great price. This blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano is rich, intense and juicy and a great wine to have at hand to accompany everyday Italian dishes – pasta and meat sauces and pizza!
