Vinupetra Etna Rosso Organic 75cl: This is a elegant natural red
wine from the Northern slopes of the volcano Mount Etna, produced
by Salvo Foti, a renowned expert in natural viniculture. Etna Rosso
is made from a blend of two local grapes Nerello Mascalese and
Nerello Cappuccio and it gets its strength from the volcanic
terroir. It has deep, dark ripe plum and cherry aromas balanced by
freshness and a juicy, fruity vibrancy leading into a complex
palate of ripe fruit, smokey oak, succulent berries, and exotic
spices, with rich tannis and a long finish. This wine is racked and
bottled following the phases of the moon and produced naturally.
Alcohol: 14% Cerasuolo di Vittoria Cos Organic 75cl: Produced in
South Eastern Sicily from a blend of Nero d'Avola (60%) and
Frappato (40%) grapes, this Cerasuolo is a light bodied,
bio-dynamic red wine. It was the first Sicilian wine to be given
the DOCG status and has a brilliant ruby red colour and wonderfully
concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum, raspberry, blueberry,
violet, tobacco and vanilla. This wine was scored 90/100 by Wine
Searcher who collate scores and awards from the world's top
palates. The 100 point scale is the most common way of scoring wine
and a score between 90 and 94 signifies an 'Outstanding wine of
superior character and style'. Pair with pasta dishes, risottos,
beef and lamb. Alcohol: 13% Pithos Bianco 'Orange Wine' Biodynamic
Organic 75cl: Pithos Bianco is a white wine made from 100%

alcohol) or to accompany a wide range of foods including curry
dishes, Moroccan, Ethiopian, Korean, Japanese cuisine. Excellent
