Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Carpeted in vines and thriving orange trees, this part of Spain is like heaven on earth.

His expertise brings a modern touch to this otherwise deeply traditional region. To attain its Gran Reserva status, Palacio del Conde was aged 18 months in American oak barrels - a process that has added great complexity and maturity to the taste. Mellow raspberry and blackberry fruit with fine vanilla-spice notes. Decant and serve with roast lamb, beef or flame-grilled fillet steak.

Loreto di Vestino 2004 - £5.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Loreto di Vestino is a gorgeously authentic Italian red made by the great Ettore Galasso.

The black cherry Montepulciano grape is Ettore's speciality, a rich, warming grape of pure, lip-smacking drinkability. Which is why Signor Galasso and family enjoy a glass or two of 'Loreto' alongside their weekday meals. Unlike their flagship, barrel-aged 'Torre Galasso', Loreto di Vestina has not seen a splinter of oak. The grapes do however come from the same quality vineyards on the slopes around Vestina. This lighter some might say more traditional style of Montepuliciano, is all juicy, soft red fruit, with aromas of violets and liquorice - and loaded with black cherries and forest berries.
