La Guardiense, Coste Del Duca, Aglianico, DOP, Campania, Italy, 2021
Producer Profile
The farming co-operative, La Guardiense, was founded over 60 years ago by 33 farsighted, collaborative farmers. Today membership has grown to nearly 1,000, but still only managing a total of about 1,500 hectares meaning that the fruit comes from a large selection of very small family owned vineyards.
The winery is situated in the Santa Lucia area of Guardia Sanframondi in the very heart of the southern Italian province of Benevento.
Viticulture
Vines from a 35 ha vineyard on clay/ limestone soils at 250m above sea level, planted at a density of 3500 vines per ha.
Winemaking
Careful selection of the grapes, picked by hand using 5kg crates. The grapes are macerated on the skins for 18 days with pumping over in stainless steel tanks. A malolactic fermentation is then made in 500lt Tonneau and aged in Tronçais and Alliers for 6 months, bottled 2 years after the harvest.

Pride and Prejudice (Wordsworth Luxe Collection)
Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim – that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.

Lambswool Scarf in Stewart Natural Dress Tartan
Weight: 136.08 g (4.8 oz) Dimensions: 200.7 x 30.5 cm (79 x 12 in)
Lambswool is the highest quality sheep’s wool. It’s gathered from a lamb’s first shearing, meaning the fibres are smoother, stronger and hold more elasticity than any other wool. The unique crimps in the individual strands generate air pockets that retain heat while repelling moisture, keeping you warm when you’re cool and cool when you’re warm. Along with being a naturally insulating, breathable and hypoallergenic textile, it’s beautifully soft. Doesn’t get much better than that. Designed in our Edinburgh Studio.
