Such a cool thing to see a Chianti in this bottling format. You can stick a candle in it when you’ve finished; it’s arguably a better closure than the cork it comes with. Importer: Mondo
It’s a little walnutty and malty, red cherry, some liquorice and dried herbs, almond paste. Medium-bodied, fleshy and quite thick with something of a clay-like feel to tannin, dried herbs and raspberry, modest but balanced acidity, with a silty and savoury finish of good length, black olive, orange peel and dried herb in the aftertaste. It’s very old school but so good to drink. I wasn’t quite sure about it at first, then I kept coming back to it. A lot. One of those wines that drags you into its vortex. Charismatic. Recommended.

Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
