Description
The Campolungo Barbera d’Asti from Cascina Vengore is a deliciously bright and approachable example of the grape. Packed with intense cherry and blueberry fruit, the wine has an appealing juiciness and pefectly poised acidity. This unoaked red is a versatile food match and will happily accompany antipasti or a more robust risotto.
Campolungo refers to the wooded, upper parts of the property. The vineyards fall down to the valley floor where cooler air originates and provides perfume and freshness to the wines. Cascina Vengore sits in a natural amphitheatre that used to be a Roman Estate. Established in 2012 by young vigneron Lucrezia Povero, this fully certified organic estate makes wines with purity, freshness and a true sense of place. The Cascina Vengore wines have a different style to the terrific value offerings from Cantine Povero (the family estate, and one of our favourite producers), and are well worth exploring.

2022 Gonzo Combat Rouge, Vandal Wine Company
Red Blend
The Gonzo Combat Rouge is a rather unusual field blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Viognier which are co-fermented with whole bunch fermentation. The results is a beautifully supple yet plush and ripe red wine with sweet, spicy raspberry and cherry fruit. We've found it drinks best slightly chilled on a warm evening.
