This fascinating limited edition wine deliberately goes back to the way that the top wines of Valpolicella were crafted historically between the 1860s and 1930s, before the invention of Amarone Intriguingly, this is aged 100% in barrels, but there is 0% oak, as the barrels are made entirely of chestnut and cherry wood - a tradition going back centuries in this part of Italy What does it taste like? In short, amazingly complex, without being overbearingly heavy Cocoa, espresso, dried cherry, tobacco, truffle and antique wood greet the nose, while on the palate there is liquorice, spice, roasted chestnuts, cranberries and more than a hint of forest floor All this is knit together by spritely acidity, and there is an overlay of gentle tannin, giving it beautiful old-school elegance A must-try wine!

From the makers of the ever-popular Papale Oro comes this smashing Salice Salentino It's an impressive purple-black in colour, with impressively concentrated blackberry and plum aromas and flavours Full-bodied and rounded, with tight structure but not too dry, with fantastic freshness and great length on the palate Varvaglione makes this from around 85% Negroamaro and 15% Malvasia Nera The vines were planted together and the fruit is picked at the same time, making this a modern-day 'field blend'

Zesty, characterful white from the volcanic slopes of Etna in Sicily: a blast of white flowers precedes a mouthful of lemon zest and green apples, with distinctive mineral character suggested by soil derived from the basalt bedrock

Intense and full of character, with integrated aromatic notes of citrus and tropical fruit, white peach, pink grapefruit and wisteria On the palate it has plenty of character with elegantly mineral elements The acidity is well integrated with the fruit, making for a harmonious whole which is without a doubt one of the finest examples of this variety to be found anywhere on the planet
