Making it
The instructions in the box take you through fermenting, stabilising and clearing. It is ready to bottle in about 6 weeks, and a full-bodied red like this usually rewards a few extra months in the bottle.
Ideal for red wine drinkers who like a fruity, food-friendly Italian with some backbone - pasta, pizza and grilled meat. See more in our Winexpert Reserve range.
