The Santa Christina fits nicely into the 'modern' Chianti Classico style, which translates into a red blend of Sangiovese with lesser proportions of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah in the mix. The intention is to make a brighter and richer style of red...

What could be better than just one of De Bortoli’s new BellaRiva range – why the pair of course in a slinky dozen. So you get both the beautifully dry new Bella Riva Pinot Grigio/Vermentino plus the juicy Sangiovese merlot that are both as Italian...

Bright, light to medium pink with a purple tinge. Savoury and slender, very sangiovese-like. Intense, dry, light yet deep flavour. Good vitality and superior length for a rose.

Slightly pruney aroma. The palate is lean and a trifle bony with liberal acidity contributing to a slightly hollow mouthfeel. Traces of tomato and vegetal character - doubtless from the merlot. Tannic, and not in the same class as the Bellavista, ...
