The "Show Me Similar" link at the bottom left of each

similar flavour profiles. They may not be the same
varietal, or even the same colour, but this will
help you sashay in the right direction.

Wine of The Week!
Marotti Campi
"Orgiolo" Lacrima di Morro d'Alba DOC, Marche Italy 2006
superbly fragrant, perfumed with lavender and rose oil, sweet spices, dried cherries and ripe berries. It's medium-bodied and silky with plenty of supple fruit and bright acidity and the finish silky.
Delicious paired with wild mushroom and pecorino gnocchi.
