Made from Cannonau (aka Garnacha) this Sardinian red has some years in bottle and is a must drink now.
Aromas of prunes and dried cherries, licorice, vanilla, espresso and savoury spices lead to a palate of cocoa, orange peel and balsamic. Although it seems tired at this point, it maintains bright acidity, has a silky texture and has a strong savoury character.

Awesome value, fleshy and very approachable, this plush red doles out smoked plums and mulberry, vanilla, spice, licorice and chocolate aromas. It is supple yet freshly balanced and entirely tasty. A great BBQ wine.

VALUE, approachable, juicy.
Made in the wild west known as Swartland, this red blend (with a pinch of Viognier) offers delightful aromas of warm cherries, vanilla, chocolate, baking spices and ground espresso beans. It is as fresh as it is supple; juicy red fruits and mocha linger on the palate. An easy wine, medium-bodied and approachable.

Plush, supple, fresh.
Italy's southern Aglianico variety is known for it's structure and high acidity and the Teodosio reflects those qualities and more.
It has a plush nose of melted chocolate and vanilla soaked cherries, licorice, clove, cinnamon with vague leathery undertones. Fresh and velvety, the palate delivers warm cherry and chocolate, pipe tobacco and espresso flavours. A mouthfilling and silky wine with a lengthy finish.
A studious wine for hearty dishes and protein.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper

Muscular, supple, savoury.
Italy's southern Aglianico variety is known for it's structure and high acidity. The Teodosio falls into that particular realm with aromas of sweet black and purple berries, a potpourri of dried flowers and cedar chips, vanilla, pipe tobacco and stony/mineral undertones. It is supple and smooth but also brooding and muscular. Sun-baked earth, mocha and dried fruits dominate the palate.

Lovely, fizzy, pretty.
Made of Glera this bottle is labelled as DOC because it's considered too modern looking to be designated a DOCG. Sandro Bottega has the patent on the "mirror effect" bottle wrapping of this (and it's pink and silver siblings) in Italy.
This lovely version shows acacia, honey and tree fruits; the palate is equally pretty, fruity and pristine with an apple-y finish.

10-14g/L RS
Pair wine with Parmigiano Reggiano, Parma ham, pickled ‘giadiniera’ salad.
Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb
