The story of Andrea Franchetti is one that begs to be told. A descendant of a wealthy Italian family, he could have lived anywhere in the world, but he chose Val d’Orcia, in the Tuscan countryside near Lacio. It is an arid and desert-like area, but with clay soil, ideal for producing fine wines. He bought and restored a very old country house on...

A super wine, the fruit of the union of the Gil family and one of the most important New World winemakers,  Australian, Chris Ringland.  Corteo is all power and muscle, extraction and concentration. It has neither too little or too much of anything and its succulent character and sweet tannins make it extremely enjoyable to drink.

This is the jewel in the Bodegas Baigorri crown. It is a wine and a half, produced from selected old Tempranillo vines with very low yields. The result is a wine with a fantastic tactile mouthfeel, and a high concentration of fruit, thanks to impeccable quality raw material and the work carried out in a flawless cellar.

One of the most sought-after Italian wines from one of Sicily’s top wineries. It hails from organically-grown vineyards planted at 1,000 metres altitude in the Etna valley. This is a sublime wine with perfectly mature fruit, compact and well delineated, which has absorbed the character of the volcanic soil in which the vines grow.

This wine is unique due to its origin, the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon.  It displays an attractive red hue from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and lovely aromas from the Syrah. The nose is an explosion of plums, red fruit and spicy notes. The palate is intense and tasty with a delectable, velvety texture.
