2020 Cosa Nostra Il Capo
"...A light, bright ruby red. Aromas of red cherries, dried herbs and just a hint of lavender leads onto a light-to medium-bodied, juicy and refreshing palate. A wine to drink and enjoy over the next couple of years with pasta and the like."

Berries. Savoury. Mulberry.
Ralph Kyte-Powell"Ruby coloured with a touch of brick-red, this has a rustic Italianate feel on the nose where a veneer of almond, herb and spice adds dimension to blackberry fruit. Oak is seamlessly folded through, and it tastes succulent and middling in body. Ripe flavour is skillfully counterpointed by lip-smacking acidity and furry tannins. Easy drinking with casual Italian-inspired fare"
