Delight someone special to you with this exclusive gift set, featuring a bottle of Rosso di Montalcino wine paired with a box of Highland Chocolatier Velvet Truffles® (RRP £33.95).

Each Velvet Truffle® is delicately covered in a paper-thin layer of chocolate before being decorated with colourful and intricate cocoa butter designs. The chocolates have won 40 prestigious awards including the Academy of Chocolate Awards Gold and the Great Taste Awards Triple Gold.
