Conti di San Bonifacio, Monteregio, Super Tuscan, 2020
Description
ABOUT THE WINE
This elegant Organic Super Tuscan red wine comes from Conti di San Bonifacio, a boutique estate in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Purchased in 2002 by Conte Manfredo di San Bonifacio and his English wife, Sarah, the property has since evolved into a stunning wine resort and wedding venue, surrounded by olive groves and manicured vineyards. The estate planted its first vines in 2004 and now cultivates 7 hectares of grapes under the guidance of acclaimed winemaker Luca d'Attoma, known for crafting refined Super Tuscan wines using both native and international varieties.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas of vibrant red fruit, blueberry, cocoa, and spiced oak unfold alongside a subtle hint of cinnamon. On the palate, it’s dense and textured, with excellent length and a savoury freshness. This wine honours the Sangiovese grape's expression from the Monteregio hills, finishing smooth, balanced, and persistent.
FOOD PAIRING
Versatile and food-friendly, this wine pairs beautifully with full-flavoured pasta or risotto dishes. It also shines with herb-roasted pork, or for a true Tuscan experience, enjoy it with prosciutto and salami.

Butterfly Conservation
Our Vision
A world where butterflies and moths thrive and can be enjoyed by everyone, forever.
Our Mission
Butterflies and moths are a vital part of our wildlife heritage and are valuable as sensitive indicators of the health of our environment. The stark fact is that butterflies and moths continue to decline at an alarming rate, despite Butterfly Conservation's best efforts over the last 40 years. Our data shows they are both declining faster than most other well-documented groups of plants and animals, so our task is both daunting and complex. For many species, we know what needs to be done to halt the decline and support recoveries. In order to tackle these losses and achieve the aims of the charity, we have to dramatically increase our capacity and influence over the next few years. Our work will benefit other wildlife and the ecosystems upon which all life depends.
Falling numbers are an early warning to all wildlife that cannot be ignored. We have more than 40,000 members in the UK and 32 volunteer-run Branches throughout the British Isles. We employ over 80 people, including many highly qualified scientists, making us the world's largest research institute for butterflies and moths. We operate 36 nature reserves and we are leading or involved in 73 landscape-scale projects to conserve habitats.
