2017 Clos Venturi White ‘1769’

Made from 100% Vermentinu, this has a pale straw colour with slight green reflections. The nose is aromatic and clean, with a cacophony of gorgeous fruits spilling from the glass: such as peaches, pears and lemons. The palate then fulfils this promise, with a medley of juicy and ripe tropical fruit. White and citrus fruit evolves into ripe tangerines and peaches in the mouth, with a backing of pleasingly tart grapefruit and a gentle sea salty note rounding out the finish. This could easily be overbearing and too much, however with mouth-watering acidity and a pleasant oceanic minerality the balance is perfect, resulting in an elegant and pure wine. The notes from the palate continue throughout the long and lingering finish. This is perfect to be drunk on its own, but would also go well with seafood, grilled fish with vegetables or in a creamy sauce, poultry, soup or pasta.

2016 Clos Venturi Red ‘1769’


Made from 80% Niellucciu, 10% Syrah and 10% Sciaccarellu, this has a deep violet appearance in the glass. The nose is rich and spicy, with notes of pure red and black berry fruits layered over hints of chocolate, brown spice, green pepper and a gentle toasty note. The palate is robust, yet elegant, with silky tannins and wonderful direction and density. Crunchy and juicy black cherries and berries sing through with a distinct note of coffee, sweet spice on the finish and a seductive herbal note. The balance is fantastic here, with a warming southern character balanced with a distinct freshness from its situation and vineyards. This would perfectly pair with a variety of Mediterranean dishes, salmon in sauce, steak or game.
