From Prosecco to Pinot Grigio and Chianti (and much more in-between), our portfolio covers all the gems from this enthralling country.

48 ITALY II CAGGIO Il Caggio is a range of classic DOC and DOCG Italian regional wines and popular IGT varietals. This fantastic range of still wines are sourced from Cantine Minini. Founded at the beginning of the 1920 s by Francesco Minini, a young, humble farmer who had a dream to make a winery starting with only a few resources.

51 ITALY BORGO MOLINO ITALY The Italians enjoy Prosecco as a wine for every occasion and it has benefitted from a surge in popularity over the past few years in this country. However, we still see it more as a celebratory fizz and there is good reason to pop the cork! It seems to have struck the right balance giving a sense of festivity at an affordable price. It also offers an alternative for those looking for a change to the biscuity, yeasty Champagne style.

Italy has a turbulent geological history with a mix of many soil types, including albarese (sandstone) and galestro (chalky-marl).

Chianti lies towards the heart of this region and remains central to Tuscan viniculture.

The region has a temperate maritime climate similar to Bordeaux. Experts believe that Lisboa is one of the regions of greatest interest for the future.
