25% of the wine was briefly aged in oak, the rest waited in stainless steel vats until the two were re-united before bottling. The result is this classy, easy drinking, soft, tropical fruity white, but the hint of oak and a smidge of Viognier gives it a grip and a bit of spice making it also a very good food wine. Another great summer wine.

Anarkos Rosso di Puglia
The label is attention-seeking, as is the bright red plastic cork (not my favourite closure, I must admit, but the wine insisted I buy it! The wine has attitude and is a provocative one, railing against the plight of the region (see their website). The region reminds me of the Languedoc in France – loads of rubbish wines but increasing numbers of fanatics making really top wines as they should be made. This was one of my favourite winery visits af the last few years. The wine is made from a blend of the local varieties Primitivo, Negro Amaro and Malvasia Nera and should be consumed in conspiratorial bars in the south of Italy with huge helpings of pasta.
Previous vintages recommended; Recommended in The Daily Telegraph: “another one of Mark Hughes’ brilliant finds. Absolutely delicious blend of Primitivo, Negro Amaro and Malvasia. Lush and plush like velvet, also juicy, scented, intense, rich brimming with the smell of violets, deep purple plums and bitter cherries. Such a joy!
Recommended by Oz Clarke as one of his 250 best wines of 2012: “an excellent example of how southern Italian reds are starting to express their own fabulous originality. It’s bulging with youth and it’s soft, yet tempered by a nice edgy bitterness.”

The new 2019 vintage is as light as a provence Rose. 40% Cinsault, 40% Mourvedre and 20% Grenache. Fermented straight from the press, no extra skin contact!
Previous vintages all won accolades;
Best Roses 2016 – Sunday Express.
“With a pale salmon pink colour this attractive rose is bright and zippy but also has some warm, savoury spiciness. There’s a lively twist to it and it would make a fine partner for food.” Sunday Express
“Irresistible. Pink Summer classic.” – SundayTimes
Recommended previously also in The Sunday Times as a “party wine that won’t give you a headache.” They can’t all be wrong, can they’ The colour is so lovely I could happily just look at it let alone drink it. Forget the old, sweet unfashionable rosés of the past; this is a dry, refreshing blend of predominantly Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre which has no oak aging. Deliciously thirst-quenching, strawberry fruit flavours. You will not want to put it down.

Dry and fruity. RECOMMENDED IN THE DAILY TELEGRAPH; “This delight should be on everyone’s table.”
The Prosecco Frizzante from Paolo Sacchetto has been a consistent star performer, so he was persuaded to come up with this pink beauty. Light, fruity and thirst-quenchingly perfect as an aperitif all year round. Semi-sparkling.
Super to drink all year round.
