We are used to drinking wine with our meals, but just how relaxing is it to indulge ourselves after dinner, by sipping a soft, velvety wine? Certain wines are perfect for this type of occasion, and are also known as meditation wines. But meditation isn’t mandatory, of course! It’s quite okay to have a sip while smoking a cigar or a pipe, reading a book, watching TV or playing cards.

These wines are full-bodied and flavoursome, well-balanced and enveloping, gratifying sip after sip. They can be sweet wines, replacing dessert itself; the stereotypical image of a meditation wine is Amarone della Valpolicella, made from dried grapes, with a high alcohol content. We have selected many ‘meditation’ or ‘cosy chat’ wines, from a host of Italian regions, made with a wide assortment of grape varieties. So for your after-dinner relaxation in the company of a good glass of wine, you can count on us.
