Colour and fruit in abundance for plenty of depth and a lot of super bright squishy berries that are kept savoury with just a pinch of aniseed-like spice. Serve it cool, not cold for the best of times.

David Morgan Quiet Wine Morgan Syrah 2023

Love it. Plump and juicy with salted plum before being tempered with a dusting of dried herbs thanks to the Cab Franc. We're calling it Autumn in a glass so play your favourite rendition of Autumn Leaves – Nat King Cole maybe?

Timothée Delalle La Burette Rouge 2022

Bright, lovely and age-worthy. It’s Chianti from a master and vines that average 40 years in age. Look for a delicate cherries and plums that flow with some savoury spices and a flick of tobacco. There's also some crisp acidity that’ll cut right through a Tuscan t-bone, or Bistecca all Fiorentina for those of you who "parla Italiano". Yum.

Rodano Viacosta Chianti Classico Riserva 2019

Rodano Chianti Classico 2021

Salted white peach, pumice stone minerality and some drenching acidity. Consider this a love letter from Sicily wrapped in a pretty label. Embrace the Moscatella, it’s dry, minerally and delicious.

Mortellito Viara Bianco 2022

Lunaria Charisma Trebbiano 2022

Soft fruits and a really broad appeal. Like a trip to Sicily, this would suit 99% of people so you should gift it if you're feeling generous, and goes well with light, al olio pastas, and sardines on toast.

Caruso & Minini Frappo Rosé 2022

Sooty tannins with dark cherry and bitter amaro plus some bergamot and liquorice. Mayhem and innocence all at once delivered with a silky palette that embodies Sicily. Beauty in abundance.

Caruso & Minini Frapello Frappato Blend 2022

Fleshy strawberries and cherries with some dusky, chalky depth. Fruit was held in concrete and there was no fining or filtering, this is perfect for a LoFi devotee or a red-lover who’s a bit adventurous.

Antonio Camillo Mediterraneo Rosso 2023

Old school approach to Etna Rosso. That means liquorice root, soil-toned tannins and delicate fruit flavours that are long and persistent. These wines are cool to see, they remind us that Etna was producing brilliant wines way before it became a fashionable wine region.
