Intensely coloured, structured reds with an inky near-black robe, firm tannins and fresh acidity. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black plum, spices, liquorice and pronounced balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Rediscovered in the 1980s after near-extinction, it enriches modern blends of Valpolicella DOC, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG and Ripasso, adding colour, structure and complexity. Very ancient native Venetian variety.

The wine region of Vaucluse

Vast southern IGP between Ventoux, Luberon and the Rhône: signature Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre as fruity, sun-drenched reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, garrigue (thyme, rosemary), Mediterranean spices and a peppery touch, supple tannins and a moreish finish. Cinsault and Carignan in support. Signature fresh rosés (strawberry, citrus). Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Clairette in whites.

The wine region of Méditerranée

Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.
