Description
As the name suggests this a no added sulphite Merlot from the north east of Italy. This fresh and approachable red wine has bags of red berry fruit on the nose and plush palate. Well-balanced, very easy drinking and wonderfully fresh, this is a terrific wine to get stuck into with a variety of mediterranean dishes.
Settimo Pizzolato is the latest of five generations of Pizzolati who have made wine here. The estate has been organic since 1991 but about 10 years ago energetic Settimo pushed through a quantum leap upwards in quality. With 50 hectares of his own and contracts for grapes from another 50 belonging to long-term neighbouring organic growers, he runs a significant operation which is improving in quality and focus exponentially.

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
