From the same hilly countryside that produces Asti Spumante but the barbera grape instead produces gorgeous big, fat, inky, prune, plum and cherrystashed reds like this one. So says Jane MacQuitty, and spot on, finally the monkey has produced Hamlet.

Any burn for you Wizz? |

A little warm, it is 14%, but doesn't detract. |
