Natural Wine For Spring

Grape – Merlot

Now that Summer is upon us, despite what feels like endless rain, we thought it time to put together a selection of natural wines fit for the Season. Light, bright, fresh, aromatic, heady and sensual: these are the bottles we reach for at this time of year.

Bbirbiciù
Cagnolo 2022

A tiny, experimental bottling from just a couple of amphora, Cagnolo is Davide's latest addition to the Bbirbiciù range. From a small planting of Nero d'Avola and Merlot, two grapes that are not as common on the island, the wine nevertheless oozes the Mediterranean charm of Sicily itself. Find out more.

Fabio Ferracane
