Valditerra Dolcetto 'Anno Zero'
From a tiny vineyard in Francavilla Bisio, where the grapes are harvested by hand and taken to the cellar with a small trailer, destemmed and sent to the steel vat where they undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration of 48 hours, with protection from oxidation through the use of CO2. This technique allows to best extract all the aromatic and polyphenolic components, to obtain a fresh, young red wine, suitable for any occasion.
Ruby red colour, good aroma, hints of red fruit with a light spicy final note.
Have it with cold meats, cheeses, salad or, but of course, pizzaaaa.

The grapes for the Verdicchio Baccaloro from Laila Libenzi grow on the rolling hills around the small village of Corinaldo in the Marches.
The wine is made under the direction of the top Italian winemaker Lorenzo Landi.
After the harvest the grapes are gently pressed and the alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.The temperature is kept cool and the whole process takes approx 15 days.
The result is a Verdicchio with soft aromas of citrus, white fruit and flowers. A light orange bitter finish in the aftertaste.
Great with fish, roast chicken or just on its own.

Sardinia doesn’t only have Cannonau and Vermentino.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Cagnulari, this characteristic red wine takes its name from the ancient Roman road that connected the cities of Carbia and Nure in the Alghero coast.
Intense ruby red colour, with nose of ripe red fruits and a hint of jam. Balanced taste, well structured with velvety tannins.
Excellent paired with cured meats and mature cheeses and, of course, Sardinian cuisine and game.

Can a purchase of a bottle of wine change a person’s life? Well in Michael Sheehan’s case it certainly did!
In 2006 Michael called into the Wine Buff in Cork and purchased a bottle of Mas du Novi Prestigi, a deeply textured red blend of Grenache and Syrah from the Languedoc, France. Michael and his wife Pauline were so impressed with the quality of this wine that he made a mental note to get back to the shop as soon as possible for a second helping.
When he was next in Cork, he purchased a mixed case of “extraordinary wine at ordinary prices” and in the course of his visit learned about the origins and history of The Wine Buff. Three months later in October 2006 Michael & Pauline opened The Wine Buff Dungarvan.
Since then, Michael has worked tirelessly to introduce the Quality and Value of Wine Buff Wines to the people of Dungarvan. He likes to think his mission is “to enhance people’s lives for a fleeting moment” !!
The Wine Buff Dungarvan is situated right in the heart of the town in Grattan Square.
