Salice Salentino Riserva, Cantele
£14.95
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.

Valpolicella, Alpha-Zeta
Alpha Zeta was started in 1999 to produce a range of modern, fruit-driven wines from the hills outside Verona. Leading New Zealand winemaker Matt Thomson works with growers (rather than buy bulk wine, which is standard among most wines from Verona at this price) to obtain ripe grapes (by reducing yields and picking later) and then, using Matt’s expertise, preserve these flavours in the finished wines. This has resulted in wines that offer great value, quality, balance and typicity.
The Valpolicella has bright, black cherry fruit and velvety tannins; a delicious wine that is perfect with pizza and light pasta dishes.
