Alcyone (Olly pronounces it with a hard “c”, as in Al-kai-oh-nee, while Amy pronounces it “Al-see-own” – take your pick!) is one of the nymphs, or pleiades, in Greek mythology (from which we get the name of the kingfisher, Halcyon). It is also the brightest of the stars in the Pleiades, or Matariki.
Our Alcyone is bursting with flavour and freshness. Naturally lower in alcohol but with plenty of substance, it's a vibrant juicy expression of Sangiovese with a fine tannin structure and a moreish finish.
