World Child Cancer has got together with Monforte Wines, specialists in Barolo and Barbera and fine wines from Piedmont, to come up with the perfect selection of wines to delight this Christmas.  These exclusive boxes are the perfect gift or treat for this Christmas.

For every twelve bottle hamper purchased we will donate £20 and £12.50 for each six bottle case to World Child Cancer.

Monforte Wines are delighted to support World Child Cancer this Christmas by offering a special selection that will be the perfect accompaniment to your Christmas fayre.  

12 bottle hamper selection - start with the beautiful vintage sparkling rose from Rocche dei Manzoni (2005) while you are unwrapping the presents and then while you're preparing your feast, and perhaps enjoying a canape or two, try the delicious Varenne, a full rich chardonnay - simply a delicious white wine.  Two very different and special reds to follow, a stunning award winning Barbera 'Bric di Maschi' 2007 that would make the perfect accompaniment to goose, and the Pinot Noir Acclivio '08, for the turkey.    For the cheese, Christmas pudding or a mince pie or two, the Barolo... we've chosen the 11 year old Bricco Luciani 2000 from Silvio Grasso, which will be drinking to absolute perfection this Christmas!  £270.00

Our Christmas half case selection -  start your Christmas morning with a glass of this amazing vintage sparkling from the Langhe then for the celebratory feast, two great wines, one stunning big robust Chardonnay, L'Angelica 2006, full bodied, rounded and elegant or a delicious Pinot Noir, Acclivio 2008, fresh wonderfully fruity and elegant, which would complement the turkey perfectly.   You may wish to tuck into a morsel of stilton - to accompany the cheese we have selected two fantastic Barolos from Giacomo Brezza, one of the best of the traditional producers in the Langhe, their Sarmassa 2000 or Castellero 2001 - both truly excellent vintages.   Finally, as early evening descends, perhaps a dessert wine, perfectly named 'Remember' an unctous sweet wine with a palate of dried fruit, honey - a fitting finish to a memorable day...  £220

All box sets come presented in beautiful wooden hamper boxes or chests, perfect for that Christmas treat or gift to a wine loving friend or loved one.   All wines come with background notes on the producer and region and serving notes for each of these beautiful wines and the option of a personalised note if it is a gift.   Your wines will be delivered to your chosen address in good time for Christmas.   Delivery £15.

We hope you enjoy giving or receiving this exclusive selection of wines and have a very Merry Christmas!
