A Taste of Southern Italy in Two Bottles
This Original 2 Bottle Italian Wine Set showcases the diversity and charm of Italy’s southern vineyards. Bringing together a vibrant Sicilian white and a characterful Puglian red, it is a pairing designed to delight wine lovers who appreciate both freshness and depth.
The La Segreta Bianco Organic by Planeta is a beautifully balanced white wine from Sicily. Made with a blend of Grecanico, Chardonnay, Viognier and Fiano, it offers layers of tropical fruit – peach, papaya and yellow melon – lifted by delicate floral notes and a gentle herbal edge of chamomile. Certified organic and vegan, it’s crisp, elegant, and a true expression of Sicily’s forward-thinking approach to winemaking.
The Marchese di Borgosole Riserva from Botter is a rich and robust Salice Salentino DOC made from Negroamaro. With its intense ruby colour, hints of orange at the rim, and aromas of ripe red berries, this wine is full-bodied yet velvety, delivering warmth and balance in every sip. Deeply rooted in Puglian tradition, it reflects the region’s history and passion for producing bold, generous reds.
Together, these wines celebrate the South of Italy – one light and floral, the other powerful and structured – making this set an ideal gift, a versatile dinner pairing, or an accessible way to explore Italian wine.

Becky Says:
I love how these two wines complement each other while telling such different stories. Planeta’s La Segreta Bianco is a wine I often reach for when I want something refreshing yet layered – it’s floral, fruity and modern, the perfect match for seafood, salads or simply sipping in the sunshine.
The Marchese di Borgosole Riserva is quite the opposite in character: bold, velvety and comforting. It’s a classic southern Italian red, made for long evenings and hearty food, yet it still carries an elegance that makes it so enjoyable to drink.
Together they make a brilliant introduction to Italy’s southern vineyards – one bottle bright and uplifting, the other deep and warming. That contrast is exactly why I’ve put this set together.
