Christian has kicked things up a notch with this intense, velvety, ruby red, Riserva from Salice Salentino.

He describes this Italian Stallion as his Montepulciano on steroids, and boy he isn’t kidding. This is just bursting with juicy red fruits with just a dash of sophisticated spice. 

Perfect with food or without, but if you’re opting for the former, a nice mature cheddar and some anti-pasti will be divine. Crack this open and put your feet up. You deserve it.

Christian Patat’s blockbuster Appassimento is one of our most popular wines of all time. And being a maverick, Christian jumped at the chance to share it with you in a brand new way.

Every cubic inch of this 2.25L box is packed with uber-delicious juice made using his famous ‘Appassimento’ technique, where he leaves the grapes to sunbathe in the southern Italian sunshine - sending the flavour through the roof. Think top-class Ripasso or Amarone but at a fraction of the price.

Every drop of this dark, brooding wine is jam-packed with tantalisingly intense fruit, and a lick of chocolate and spice, all wrapped up in a big oaky hug. Show up to a dinner party with this bad boy under your arm, and you’ll make a boxed wine convert of anyone who crosses your path.
