Description

This organically-farmed pitch-perfect casual red wine comes from the easternmost region of Central Italy, the Morro d'Alba region of the Marche,between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic sea.

By combining the soft, plummy characters of Montepulciano with the tannin and savoury characters of Sangiovese, the Bartolomei family make a big but balanced red that is going to be a big hit at your next BBQ.

For the bucks asked, this is a little ripper of a red, and it's organic and certified vegan to boot.

Italian Everyday Drinking!

This was a delicious wine, designed to accompany food. It's perfect for that mid-week bottle or Friday Night pasta companion! A must try at this price.

Excellent value Italian red

My partner and I first tried this at the Woollahra Wine Library and rate it among the best value Italian reds I've bought in recent years. Have since purchased two bottles on Different Drop.

Lovely Wine - Fruit, Depth, Length

Two hardy grapes from Italy and when blended together bring out the best characteristics in both - fruit, some spice, long lingering flavour

This ruby red wine, with purple shades tending to orange is a product of Montepulciano and Sangiovese vines that are carefully grown on the Marches hills. The wine is harmoniously delicate and tannic. It is dry, full bodied and tastes faintly tannic. It expresses its finest characteristics between the first and the second year of its life, although further maturation gives it a greater equilibrium and smoothness.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
