Some tip-top examples of high-quality, inimitable and mostly affordable Italian wine via Lea & Sandeman and DBGitalia. Above, Luigi Maffini's vineyards in Cilento, Campania.
Lea & Sandeman, the UK importer and retailer that last year celebrated 35 years of great service to wine lovers and restaurants in the UK, import and sell – online and via their five London shops in Chelsea, Fulham, Kensington, Barnes and Chiswick – wines from nearly 400 producers. France dominates (217) but Italy is a strong second (52) so it’s not surprising that they organise a tasting specifically for their excellent Italian portfolio.
