Tasting note
Intense aromas of red berry fruits with a hint of vanilla & toast. Dry, warming & velvety.

Producer note: Cantina Sampietrana
In production since 1952 this Italian producer is situated in Puglia, "the heel of the Italian boot" in the small village of San Pietro Vernotico, located between the towns of Brindisi and Lecce. Growing mostly indigineous varieties such as Negroamara, Primitivo and Malvasia they look to get the often difficult balance between remaining true to tradition, but also reaching as many people with their wines as possible.

Brut Reserve, , Charles Heidsieck, £45.00 France, White
Triple gold-medal winner 2012: Gold IWC, Trophy DWWA, Gold IWSC
Class and sophistication are what Heidsieck embodies. Complex pastry aromas, with an opulent combination of ripe apricot, mango and greengages, dried fruits, pistachio and almond. The palate begins with a silky smooth sensation, developing into ripe fleshy apricot, melon and enticing plum pastry notes and delicate spice. A perfect balance of freshness and generosity.
Brut Vintage, 2009, Henners, £30.50 England, White
Biscuity, brioche aromas, with delicate white flower and full fruit. Flavours are fresh with nicely delicate citrus and apple with a 'lees' character adding complexity.
