Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Description: Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico represents modern winemaking at its best and embodies Franco Allegrini’s long-expressed goal of combining purity with balance and the traditional power and intensity of Amarone. The wine is a wonderful fusion of concentrated dried cherry fruit and fine, spicy, toasty oak. It has great structure, complexity and elegance yet remains intense and powerful through to the end, with a hint of spiced sour cherries on the finish. Grapes for the Amarone are hand harvested during the second half of September and are allowed to dry naturally for about 100 days at ‘Terre di Fumane’, a state of the art drying centre where both temperature and humidity are controlled. By drying the grapes under these conditions, the development of botrytis is avoided, and the integrity of the fruit is preserved. During the drying period the grapes lose 45% of their original weight. Allegrini’s modern approach ensures that the volatility which often characterises lesser Amarone is never found in his. The quality of all the wines Allegrini produce from their 70 hectares of vineyard is impeccable. They have fruit, balance, intensity, length, elegance, tipicity and, above all, drinkability. In short, they are among the elite of the world’s best producers of red wines. The price of grapes for Amarone has shot up dramatically in the past few years due to demand far outstripping supply. As a result, we're now beginning to see these grape prices being reflected by higher prices for Amarone. We feel though that Allegrini’s Amarone still remains excellent value for a truly world class wine. (12 x 37.5 cl) Price: £290.51

Baron de Brane Margaux Bordeaux
Description: A deep red with violet hues has an intensely aromatic quality with a nose dominated by red fruit aromas, and fresh notes of menthol, flowers and liquorice. The supple 'attack' in the mouth displays lots of freshness and concentration on the palate afterwards. A well balanced wine with a long, generous finish which will definitely age well, must be aired before serving Bordeaux's top Crus Classes wines command prices that put them out of reach of most but there is a way to enjoy the quality and style of these great estates without stretching your budget. 'Second wines' are made from the same estate-grown grapes and crafted by the same team in the same manner. They simply consist of the barrels not chosen for the final Grand Vin selection. Their comparatively modest price often belies outstanding quality. The Baron de Brane himself was the man behind what is now Mouton-Rothschild before he sold the vineyards in 1830 to concentrate on Brane Cantenac. His dedication paid off when the estate was classed as a second growth in the famous 1855 classification, still in force today. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £149.77
