"Aromas and flavours of plums and tart cherries, crumbled stones and light flavours of vanilla and a touch of clove. Taut, fresh and youthful on the palate with a classic firm texture driven by tannins and acidity then flavours of red fruit and plum to reflect the variety and bouquet. An even lengthy finish with best drinking from day of purchase through 2026+"

"This is a lovely easy drinking southern Italian Sangiovese.  We kept coming back to this wine, so gluggable but at the same time a wine with real character. Smashes it out of the park on the value/quality spectrum.  Also lovely packaging!"

"Distinctive bouquet of chalk and white flowers, citrus and white fleshed orchard fruits, there’s a lees note adding a textural complexity, shape and form with the bouquet. New and different. An appealing wine on the palate with a taut youthful squeeze emphasizing the citrus and mineral then flavours of apple and some floral layers. Fresh, dry, balanced, well made and ready to drink."

This Primitivo Rosé from the Doppio Passo brand is a tribute to Carlo and Maria Botter who, together, founded the company in 1928, building it step by step, day after day, working together to achieve a common goal.

The wine is made from 100% Primitivo grapes, which are harvested by hand. The must obtained from the pressing of the grapes remains in contact with the pomace for about 12 hours. Once pressed, fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature (16-18 ° C). Finally it ages in steel at 17-17 ° C until bottling.

“A classic, balanced well-made Prosecco style”
 - Cam Douglas MS

“Elegant and inviting. A charming, crowd-pleasing style”
 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

This brand is inspired by the 1600 Baroque movement, the same date when the first documented evidence of Prosecco was recorded. Like this wine Baroque was born in Italy and aimed to express the splendour and power of the Church and monarchies of that time. Similarly, this soft, sumptuous sparkling wine from the Botter family is perfect for celebrations. From the temperate Veneto region where the Glera variety is protected from the alpine winds and ripens perfectly on the clay sandstone soils. Soft pressed juice is cool-fermented then refermented using the Martinotti Charmat method. An understated, subtle, fruity bouquet with notes of peach, green apple and lilac gives way to a charming, fresh, lively palate. Ideal as an aperitif , it also pairs with fish, shellfish and canapes.
