Parlante is speaking in Italian, but they could’ve gone with canto (singing), because that is what it can do if you line up everything – a cooler, ice, glasses, a friend or two, and a rug for the park.

Fondo Antico Grillo Parlante 2022

Think herbal strawberries, and light red fruits that come through with a savoury, mineral and salty feel. This vintage is still light and lifted, but there’s just a little extra tannin which leaves room for extra ruminating.

Mortellito Rosso Sicilia Calaniuru Frappato Nero d' Avola 2022

The perfect summer red, with loads of juicy fruit, red currants, and vibrant, crunchy acidity. Chuck it on ice before serving in your best Italiano tumbler. Or enjoy it at any temperature you like really, you'll love it either way!

Giovino Rosso 2021

It's fresh and easy-drinking, but with a wonderful streak of richness—think creamy lemon curd, Tarte Tatin, and freshly-picked apricot, all tied together with a sprinkling of salinity. You can almost feel the Sicilian sea breeze on your face.

Giovino Bianco 2021

One of the more romantic blends – mostly Grillo with a bit of Cataratto – this is glass after glass of enjoyment, right down to the salty, pithy, waxy feel and refreshing grassy notes. There’s also just enough oxidativeness to create some roundness, and it’s great for people looking for a minerally Chardonnay or Pinot Gris/Grigio adjacent wine.

Mortellito Cala Iancu 2022

Ten hands make lighter work, and in this case a charmer that’s got salinity and that soft, cold tasting, terracotta-lined red currant note we all love which seems to hit the palate like some magical, velvet red fruited drop. Australian Sangiovese lovers will be in heaven.
