Product description

Akra Vini di Calabria produces wines from rare indigenous grape varieties such as Aglianico, Magliocco, Pecorello and Moscato. This package takes you through the full breadth of Akra: from fresh white and floral sparkling to a powerful red wine from the sun-drenched south.

WHAT'S IN THIS PACKAGE?

1x Akra Gaia Terre di Cosenza DOC — Rosé · 13% · €13.90 per bottle
A lively, dry rosé made from Aglianico and Magliocco, the two great indigenous red varieties of Calabria. Fresh and fruity, with notes of raspberry, violet and a light mineral touch. With a gentle tannic structure you rarely find in a rosé. Delicious with charcuterie, fish, cheeses or simply as an aperitif on a warm evening.

1x Akra Cynthia Terre di Cosenza DOC — White · 13% · €14.90 per bottle
The white wine of the estate, made from Pecorello, one of the oldest indigenous grape varieties of Calabria. Fresh and elegant, with notes of wild flowers and a salty, slightly iodine-like minerality that betrays the proximity of the sea. Perfect with fish, seafood and fresh cheeses.

1x Akra Giorgia Calabria IGT — White · 13.5% · €15.90 per bottle
The surprising wildcard of the package. A dry-vinified Moscato — which is rare — that completely turns the sweet expectation of the grape on its head. Notes of peach, apricot and rose petals, dry, juicy and enveloping. With Mediterranean salads, sushi or grilled fish.

1x Akra Rosso Terre di Cosenza DOC — Red · 13.5% · €15.90 per bottle
The red wine of Akra, made from 100% Aglianico, the great red grape of the south. Full, juicy and youthfully energetic, with notes of raspberry, blackberry and black pepper and a soft, silky tannic structure. Wonderful with grilled red meat, pasta with meat sauce, braised dishes or aged cheeses.

1x Akra Julia Vino Spumante Bianco Brut — Sparkling white · 12.5% · €18.90 per bottle
A delicate and elegant brut spumante made from 100% Moscato, produced using the Charmat method. Bright straw yellow colour with a fine and persistent perlage. Notes of white blossom and golden apple, fresh and soft at the same time. Ideal as an aperitif, with fish dishes, fresh cheeses or light summer dishes.

1x Akra Mira Vino Spumante Rosé Brut — Sparkling rosé · 12.5% · €18.90 per bottle
The festive finale of this package. An elegant brut rosé spumante made from Aglianico and Magliocco, with a bright coral pink colour and notes of red berries, rose petals and carob. Fresh and lively, with a pleasant freshness that makes it perfect as an aperitif, with fish or with light snacks.

WHY THIS PACKAGE?

This tasting case introduces you to Calabria at its very best — a region that long stood in the shadow of the north but is now one of Italy's most exciting wine regions. From fresh white and blooming sparkling to a powerful red wine from the sun-drenched south: Akra shows how diverse and surprising the grape varieties of this beautiful part of Italy can be.
