Gergenti Il Vero Siciliano 2024
Gergenti Il Vero Siciliano is an authentic blend that captures the true spirit of Sicily . Crafted from three of the island's most expressive native varieties, Nero d'Avola , Nerello Mascalese and Frappato , it reflects the sun-drenched vineyards, mineral-rich soils and timeless winemaking traditions of southern Italy . Why You'll Love It This is Sicilian red wine at its most honest and characterful. Gergenti's philosophy is simple: let the island speak for itself. By blending three complementary native varieties and allowing the grapes to hang a little longer on the vine for extra concentration, they produce a wine of real depth and warmth that still retains the freshness and vibrancy Sicily does so well. Generous, approachable and full of personality. Vineyard and Production Grapes are grown on hillside vineyards and left on the vines for a few extra days after reaching maturity to achieve greater concentration and aromatic depth. After fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in large oak barrels, developing structure, roundness and complexity while maintaining its vibrant fruit character. Tasting Notes Deep ruby red in colour, Il Vero Siciliano opens with aromas of ripe red fruits and subtle spice. The palate is soft and full-bodied, offering layers of cherry, plum and wild berries balanced by gentle tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. Perfect Pairings Ideal with hearty meat dishes, aged cheeses and traditional Sicilian cold cuts. Also excellent with slow-braised lamb, pasta with rich meat sauces or a rustic charcuterie board. Grape Varieties Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, Frappato
Tabali Vetas Blancas Pinot Noir 2023
Tabalí Vetas Blancas Pinot Noir is an elegant, cool-climate red from the Limarí Valley, balancing vibrant fruit with striking minerality. Sourced from the Talinay and Espinal vineyards, this wine reflects the region’s unique calcareous and alluvial soils, producing a Pinot Noir of finesse, structure, and expressive character. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and carefully vinified, it delivers freshness, depth, and a delicate yet complex profile. Meet the producer Established in 2002, Viña Tabalí is a pioneering winery on the edge of the Atacama Desert, celebrated for terroir-driven wines that capture the distinctive character of northern and central Chile. Production 30% of the grapes come from the Talinay vineyard, 12km from the Pacific Ocean, where constant cool sea breezes create lower temperatures than the rest of the valley. Talinay’s calcareous soils, formed from ancient marine terraces, provide excellent drainage and a rich source of calcium carbonate. The remaining 70% comes from the Espinal vineyard, planted on stony alluvial terraces with clay layers and veins of limestone dust. Grapes are hand-harvested into 20kg bins, carefully selected, and destemmed before an 8-day cold soak at 8°C. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in small stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, followed by a 3-day post-fermentation maceration. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to enhance structure, complexity, and elegance. Tasting notes Bright and delicate, this Pinot Noir displays aromas of raspberry and subtle spice. On the palate, flavours of fresh summer fruit, strawberries, and raspberries are complemented by gentle hints of oak spice and graphite. The wine’s minerality, derived from the region’s limestone soils, provides structure and length, making it both expressive and refined. Food match Pairs beautifully with roast lamb, autumnal stews, or hearty risotto. Grape Pinot Noir 100%
