Where it comes from
Lombardy, Italy
Lombardy is a large, wealthy region in northern Italy centred on Milan, stretching from the Alps to the Po plain.
Groppello
Groppello is a red grape native to the western shore of Lake Garda in Lombardy, forming the backbone of the Valtènesi wines; it makes pale, perfumed reds and is a key ingredient in the area's delicate Chiaretto rosés.
Marzemino
Marzemino is a red grape of northern Italy, most at home in Trentino, and famous enough to earn a mention in Mozart's Don Giovanni; it makes bright, approachable reds beloved in its home valleys.
Sangiovese
Sangiovese is a red grape and the signature variety of Tuscany, the heart of Italy's most famous reds.
Barbera
Barbera is a red grape from the Piedmont region of northwest Italy, long the everyday red of the area and now taken seriously enough to rival its noble neighbour Nebbiolo in quality-minded hands.
