A blend of 70% Carricante and 30% Catarratto, the 2024 Mofete Etna Bianco is a lovely white, starting with its delicate aromas of white stone fruit, Mediterranean brush, Spanish broom and sea brine. On the tangy palate, bright acidity lends racy tension to ripe white peach, Myer lemon and yellow pear while a tangy saline note wraps up the finish.

Palmento Costanzo
A property of 14 hectares in Contrada Santo Spirito, Passopisciaro, on the northern slopes of Etna. 10 hectares are planted with vines on walled terraces on volcanic rocks between 600-800 metres altitude. The Costanzos came here in 2011 - they are from Catania - and meticulously restored the palmento (the word for the olive millstone which gave the farm its name). The vineyards are planted employing the ‘gobelet' method and farmed organically. The 2017’s are certified organic. This is an amazing new project which has been given all the investment and attention it needed to make great wines from the outset.
Regional Italian | Mixed 12
The Great Italian Escape: The Native Grape Masterclass Italy boasts hundreds of indigenous grape varieties, yet the global market tends to focus on just a handful of famous names.
While we love a benchmark Barolo or a classic Chianti as much as anyone, we find that some of the magic of Italian wine can lie slightly off the beaten path.
We have spent a great deal of time travelling across the country, seeking out the families quietly championing these ancient, local varieties. This 12-bottle case (featuring two of each wine) acts as a thrilling tasting tour from the hills north of venice right down to the volcanic south.
Whether you are a dedicated terroir explorer or simply looking for the ultimate toolkit for a run of joyful evenings, this collection captures the effortless, generous spirit of the Italian dinner table.
What's Inside the Mixed Case:
2x 2024 FEUDO Chiaretto, La Feliciana (Lombardy): A wonderfully pale, dry pink from the shores of Lake Garda. An immediate hit of sweet cherry and firm strawberry, offering serious competition to Provence.
2x 2024 PINOT GRIGIO 'Ramato', Visintini (Friuli): A grown-up, skin-contact Pinot Grigio with a delicate pink/copper hue. Elegant and complex with notes of spiced pear, nectarine, and juicy fresh lift of citrus pep.
2x 2024 KRATOS Fiano, Luigi Maffini (Campania): An elegant, mineral-driven white from the Campanian coast. Restrained aromas of lemon peel and ferns give way to a polished, high-energy finish.
2x 2024 MOFETE Etna Bianco, Palmento Costanzo (Sicily): A racy, tense blend of Carricante and Catarratto grown on the high volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Tangy, saline, and loaded with white peach.
2x 2023 SANGIOVESE Girapoggio, Bissoni (Emilia Romagna): A pristine, organic Sangiovese from a small, hand-tended farm. Unencumbered by oak, it is sleek, pure, and incredibly juicy with cherry and mocha notes.
2x 2022 SUSUMANIELLO Artiglio, Cantine de Falco (Puglia): From 20-30 year old vines in the heart of Salento. An earthy, wildly fun red with notes of chocolate, plum flesh, and a wonderfully fragrant spice.
