Box: November 2021

Latin pro Listopad

Latin like style, flavour and temperament. Passion. That was what we wanted with a box of big red from across the Latin countries and a chance to sample a host of varietal whites from across the world.

We concentrated our white selection tis month on Sauvignon Blanc. Typically, green and crisp that goes well as an aperitive or with white fish, or salty foods.  The three wines all have varying characters of minerality and floral scents, but all will keep you light on your feet, and your pallet fresh for what ever the night will bring. We also bring back a Croatian wine after a long Balkan pause.

Our reds come clearly out of two corners. Back by every popular demand are two Primitivo from the south of Italy. Full and fruity and coming with a top end Vivino rating. We also went looking for that slightly spicy and dark fruit flavor form Syrah. We present two south American ambassadors of this grape and a blend from a lesser-known corner of the Rhone.

Enjoy the freedom and the pre-holiday spirit that we have this November and let your inner ‘ Latissimo’ come out.

The name means to tell the story of "One bottle - one wine", making this a very personal wine ;-) . Look for earth and grass tones in a wine that can be shared if you have to.

Dried plums, leather and tobacco. This is yet another top rated Primitivo this time from Puglia. Make no mistake, this is a full bodied wine that wants salami, demands hard cheese and will ensure you never leave the sofa after finishing the bottle.

Mike's Tip

You may of heard of the "Ventoux" from it's famous hill climb in the Tour de France . This area of the south Rhone close to Avignon has grown in popularity given the quality of the Grenache, and quality to price ratio. Classic Rhone blend of Grenache and Shiraz.
