Deep ruby-red when young, with an intense, characteristically flowery, fruity bouquet with vanilla and spice. The palette is full, dry, and velvety with a long finish. Best-drunk two years after the vintage, its character will soften and become more rounded with further bottle ageing. (6 x 75 cl)

Fontanafredda MARNE BRUNE Nebbiolo D'Alba Piemonte from Italy, Piemonte by Fontanafredda Powerful Reds (6 x 75 cl)

Wonderfully complex Dolcetto, with flavours of blackberry, blackcurrant and black cherry, and floral hints. Full and concentrated, this should continue to improve for four or five years. (12 x 75 cl)

This wine is a firmer more tannic style of Dolcetto, with glorious, rich, plummy fruit on the palate. (6 x 75 cl)

Bright ruby/scarlet coloured wine with just the lightest hint of orange. The aromas are an exotic mix of ripe dark fruits and leather with hints of dried porcini mushrooms. Smoky ripe plums show in the nose and on the palate that are followed by layers of dusty burnt cherries and bitter oranges which are still held in check by firm, hard tannins that are somehow surprisingly round in their intensity. The finish is restrained by its intense tannins, but the powerful complex fruit flavors are already starting to show through, a wine for long-term cellaring. (6 x 75 cl)
