Made famous in Italy’s Piedmont region – highly regarded for its finest wines – this Barolo is rich in flavour and deep in colour, with a rounded oak aroma that lingers on the finish. Not surprisingly, Barolo is a consistently popular offering year in and year out.

Selection International Grape Skins Spanish Tempranillo shows the black cherry, raspberry, plum and tobacco notes of the varietal, but the wine tends towards lushness and an overflowing of soft, ripe tannins, rather than bright fuit.  Vanilla and spice notes in the oak give way to a beguiling hint of dark coffee on the finish.  Medium-to-full bodied, it will drink well under three months and will soften impressively after six months to a year in the bottle.  Serve with tapas, like grilled chorizo, rich tomoato dishes like Moussaka or even grilled sardines.

Selection International Grape Skins Sicilian Nero D’Avola is a deep garnet and shows ripe, berrylike fruit aromas lent complexity by hints of toast and smoke.  The palate features flavours of fresh blackberries, dark chocolate and a little bit of anise.  There’s sufficient acidity to give it structure, but the overall impression is soft as velvet.  The finish is long and smooth, with ripe and appealing fuit and surprising complexity in the nose.  A great wine for hard cheeses, rare red meats and stews.
