Beautiful, silky, intense, 99-point Montepulciano /Cesanese red from a third-generation family estate. It's an unusual and delicious blend of native Italian grapes - a sensational, award-winner that rarely leaves Italian shores. Worth snapping up.

Antonio Federici is a small, 3rd-generation cellar in Lazio, just south of Rome. As you'll taste here, its wines are both authentic and exceptionally delicious. Normally, they only supply their meagre output to top restaurants in Rome. But with most shut in 2020, we managed to gain a small allocation of this superb, cherry-scented red. On fine limestone soils (the rocks of which were used to build some of Rome's most famous buildings) they grow some of Italy's most characterful native grapes. From these they make a small range of highly awarded, rule-breaking wines. No doubt the skill of top Italian consultant Franco and Matteo Bernabei come into play, as well as the commitment and passion of the family. A silky Montepulciano Cesanese red.

"A firm, velvety red with aromas and flavors of dark berries and cherries. Full and lightly chewy" James Suckling
