Brindisi Rosso 2014 (Puglia) 11.95
I first listed the fabulous Brindisi Rosso, from the tremendous multi -award winning co-operative of Cantine due Palme over 20 year ago and have listed every subsequent vintage. Remarkably consistent, it has won many friends in Marple. The 2014 is a deep, round, harmonious wine with great fruit and substance.

Alpha Zeta Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2016 V V 16.25
Made using a modern approach to the traditional practice of Ripasso The young wine, produced from Corvina
grapes, grown in the Veneto region of North-east Italy, is re-fermented with dried grapes in the January following the vintage.
This gives it it greater intensity and adds a dried cherry note to the characteristic red cherry perfume. Ruby red in colour, full-bodied and intensely flavoured. Beautifully balanced with good length and a lovely bitter-cherry twist on the finish.
Gorgeous.
