Wine that is fit for a Queen

As Barbaresco is deservedly known as “the queen of wines” it is very fitting that it has decided to help celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee with this trio of top-class, Decanter Medal-winners. 

70 years on the throne is very impressive, and the fact the Queen is the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee makes this event even more exciting. 

So, what better way to celebrate this magnificent and significant milestone than with a memorable gift set of three award-winning Barbaresco wines? 

Each one of these wines has been awarded a medal by the Decanter World Wine Awards. Possibly the most reputable wine competition in the world, it highlights the very best wines that are selected chosen from tens of thousands of contenders from all over the world.

This gift set includes three Decanter Medal-winning Barbaresco wines and is only available exclusive from Independent Wine for next day delivery nationwide. Carefully packaged in a sustainably sourced wooden box, the set will make a perfect gift for loved ones, work colleagues, or a valuable addition to your own wine cellar. Though the wines can be enjoyed for immediate consumption, they can also be laid down to mature for many years to come. 

Wines included are:-

Francone Barbaresco Gallina 2017 – Decanter Silver Medal. Featured in The Independent as an “Indy Best Buy” organic wine, this rich and complex wine has pronounced aromas of fresh strawberry and raspberry as well as a savoury touch of almonds and liquorice. The grapes are grown in the historic vineyard of L'Ciaciaret, in Neive's Gallina MGA (cru).

Demarie Barbaresco 2016 – Decanter Silver Medal. This award-winning Barbaresco offers elegant flavours of red fruits as well as powerful tannins. It spent two years ageing in oak, but all the nuanced aromas of Nebbiolo are still bright and fresh. 2016 was possibly the best year for Nebbiolo in Langhe in the last decade, making this wine even more special.

Francone Barbaresco Riserva 2015 – Decanter Silver Medal. UK-exclusive, old vine Barbaresco Riserva. Bold flavours of dried strawberry, cloves and vanilla. This Barbaresco Riserva wine is made in the classic style of Neive, showing the full power of Nebbiolo's tannins. It is designed to develop more complex flavours and appreciate slowly over 15 years or so.

This premium trilogy of Barbaresco wine is presented in a special wooden box, finished with a dark matt varnish. It's stamped with the Independent Wine insignia, and closes with a metal latch. Made from timber sourced exclusively from sustainable producers, each box is certified by The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and stamped with their logo.

The trio of regal wines will cost £131.00 and is available from https://www.independent.wine.
