A Journey Through Southern Italy in Two Bottles
This Discovery 2 Bottle Italian Wine Set captures the spirit of exploration with two distinctive bottles from the south of Italy – a crisp white from Puglia and a bold red from Sicily. Together, they showcase the character, tradition and diversity of Italy’s native grapes.
The Alice Verdeca from Produttori di Manduria offers something rare and refreshing. Made from the little-known Verdeca grape, this wine shines a pale straw yellow with a fragrant nose of white flowers, citrus, pear and pineapple. Dry and mineral-driven, it delivers freshness and elegance with every sip – a true gem from a region better known for its Primitivo.
Balancing this brightness is the Ludovico Rosso Riserva from Tenute Orestiadi. Crafted from Nero d’Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon, this Sicilian red bursts with ripe black cherry, mulberry and prunes, layered with warming spice notes of liquorice, pepper and tobacco. Full-bodied and robust yet velvety on the palate, it is a wine that embodies Sicily’s sun-soaked vineyards and rich winemaking tradition.
This set is a perfect way to explore the breadth of southern Italian wines, making it an excellent gift, a dinner party showpiece, or an indulgent treat for adventurous wine lovers.

Becky Says:
What I love most about this set is how it takes you off the beaten track. Verdeca is a grape many people have never tasted, and Alice is such a vibrant, expressive wine. It’s floral, zesty and mineral – exactly the kind of white I love to pour when I want something different from the usual suspects.
Ludovico Rosso, on the other hand, is everything I adore about Sicily. It’s big, generous and packed with dark fruit and spice, yet beautifully balanced so it never feels heavy. It’s the sort of red that makes you slow down and savour the moment.
Together, these two bottles show just how exciting Italian wine can be when you start to explore beyond the obvious. That’s why I’ve chosen them – they bring discovery, surprise and real joy to the glass.
