Sangiovese, Il Civettaio

Name: Sangiovese, Il Civettaio
SKU: 2847
Availability: OutOfStock

£19.95

Il Civettaio is a beautful farm in the rolling hills of the Maremma region (coastal Tuscany).
Everything here is done organically, and by hand; the owner/winemaker Gregorio is truly passionate about his farm and produces wines that really encapsulate the vivid, wild and beautiful landscape of the Maremma.
This 100% Sangiovese is full-bodied, like a wilder cousin of the posh folk up in Chianti; It also has some of the savoury characteristics from nearby Montalcino but without the price accompany it. A wine of real character and the perfect wine for pasta with meat sauce (wild boar if you have any lying around, otherwise ‘British Bolognese’ works fine..).

Barbaresco, ‘Rabaja’, Bruno Rocca, Piemonte, Italy – organic

Red Wine

£82.00

Starting in 1978, Bruno Rocca has risen through the ranks to be considered one of the very best producers in Piemonte. He makes wine in a modern, rich style but with the balance and harmony that always comes with great winemaking. The hill, or Cru, of Rabaja is one of the most highly prized sites in Barabresco, producing wines of amazing complexity and ageing potential. A truly great wine that combines the beautiful perfume of the best Nebbiolo with the richness and power that comes from this special place. Drinking well now, this will develop complexity over the next 20 years. Great with strong, hard cheese, as well as pasta and meat dishes (especially with mushrooms or a hint of truffle!).

Gavi ‘La Fornace’, Cinzia Bergaglio

Italy, White Wine

£14.95

This is one of our favourite wines; it's Gavi that isn't overpriced! Bergaglio is situated in Tassarolo, in the heart of the Gavi zone (it could be called Gavi di Gavi...), in the south of Piemonte heading towards Liguria. Cortese is the grape here, and this version has all the herb-scented freshness and juicy, citrus fruit you could hope for. Not a complicated wine, or one that should be revered and sipped in silence; it should be served with great food and drunk heartily with a big grin on your face! The perfect wine to have with fennel-stuffed seabass doused with really good olive oil. Yum..

‘Hecula’ Monastrell, Castano, Yecla

Spain, Red Wine

£12.95

Based in Yecla, Familia Castaño is known for its huge efforts to promote one of Spain’s native varieties: Monastrell. Castaño embodies the best of what southern Spain has to offer, producing rich, warm-climate wines, with almost Syrah-like complexity, which overdeliver in terms of value year after year. Castaño began bottling characterful, single-varietal Monastrell in the 1980s, when the variety was used exclusively for bulk wines and blending. Today, in the expert hands of Daniel Castaño and his family, the variety maintains high quality even at moderate to generous yields. 80% of the family’s 600 hectares of vineyards are dedicated to Monastrell, with smaller plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Macabeo and Chardonnay among others.This is a big, rich, full-bodied wine made from the Monastrell grape in the Yecla region of south west Spain. Really over-delivers for the price; so tasty! Has always been one of our favourites, and now it's certified organic! Win WinA great steak wine, but also just one of the best all-round wines on the market. Seriously good.
