Intense ruby red colour with a pleasant and persistent, fruity bouquet. Dry but fruity at the same time soft, fresh and lively this sparkling red is pleasantly harmonious. For more than one hundred years the name of the Medici family has been synonym with excellent Lambrusco and quality wine. At the beginning of the 20th Century Remigio, the founder, set up a wine cellar for the production of Lambrusco with the purpose to exploit in the best possible way the family's vineyards, situated between the Via Emilia and the first slopes of the Enza valley. His son, Ermete, was then responsible for marketing and expanding this brand. Today, the fourth generation of the Medici family still shows the same passion and skill every day in the vineyard as well as in the cellars that have made them protagonists in the world of wine.

Ca' dei Frati PRATTO Lugana IGT Veneto
Description: Pratto is a light gold in colour and has perfumes of tropical fruit as well as mineral hints so characteristic of Ca' dei Frati. On the palate the wine is rich and dry with while the oak ageing adds a touch of spice. This wine has a long length with a touch of tropical fruit on the finish. Over the past decade, the Dal Cero family has transformed their Ca' dei Frati property into a model Italian estate. Originally they had 12 hectares of vineyard; today, they have 50. This increase in quantity has been matched by an increase in quality, and today they remain the best producers in Lugana. The quality of their vineyards is the secret of their success as many producers in the zone overcrop and train the vines high. At Ca' dei Frati, the vines are trained low, newer vineyards have a higher density of planting, and yields are well below the average for the zone. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £104.68

Ca' Rugate RIO ALBO Valpolicella DOC
Description: Ca’ Rugate established by the Tessari family in 1986 has a great deal of respect for tradition and a passion for viticulture, inspired by firm convinction that the quality first is created in the vineyard and then in the cellar. Cà Rugate takes the name from the hill of volcanic origin, at the centre of the Soave Classico area, in which its vineyards are positioned. The soft inclinations of those hills were always adapted to create great wines because of their fantastic position, special microclima and special soil composition. The Estate covers 30 ha of Ca’Rugate, 25 ha around monforte d’apone and 5 ha around montecchia di crosara, in the region of Valpolicella. In the vineyard, they use modern pruning techniques, along with careful canopy management and green pruning; while the latest vinification techniques bring out distinctive aromas and refined flavours in the wines. The best grapes, 40% Corvina, 30% Rondinella and 30% Corvinone, are selected from ca’ Rugate’s vineyards in the hilly area of Montecchia di Crosara and used to make Rio Albo. Ruby red in colour this wine has a lovely bouquet of blackberry and cherries. The palate is supple with light tannins and plenty of flavour. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £134.45
