1x Gavi di Gavi 2006, Villa Sparina (half case)
More information...
White. Very fresh nose of pear syrup and white stones with a chalky, bone dry palate showing hints of more pear and citrus fruits – perhaps akin to a light Macon Villages on the nose but, on the palate, more of a Chablis astride a Vespa… See in "About Supplier" for more information about Villa Sparina.

1x Montej Chiaretto Rosé 2005, Villa Sparina (half case)
More information...
Rosé. A blend of Barbera and Dolcetto, benefiting from the fresh acidity of the former and sweet fruit of the latter. Quite a mouthful, with a distinct creaminess underlying the wine's strawberry, cherry and rhubarb character, the Chiaretto makes for a good 'food' rosé, powerful yet elegant, full yet balanced. See in "About Supplier" for more information about Villa Sparina, Piemonte.

1x Montej Rosso 2004, Villa Sparina (half case)
More information...
Red. Fresh and toothsome Barbera, a percentage of which undergoes a short passage in barriques to soften the young wine's often astringent acidity. Lots of classic cherries, berries and a twist of vanilla. See in "About Supplier" for more information on Villa Sparina, Piemonte.

1x Desiré Roero Arneis 2005, Cascina Pellerino (half case)
More information...
White. The inner sanctum of the Langhe Hills (Roero is to Langhe what Hermitage is to Croze Hermitage in the Rhone). The Desiré has an intense nose showing citrus character, hazlenuts and dried basil. Grapefruit and a suggestion of candied limes combine with the essentially herbal, quartzy palate, with notes of fennel tops and a twist of menthol, giving a long, succulent finish. Try with simple white fish dishes and salads. See in "About Supplier" for information on Cascina Pellerino, Piemonte.

1x Andrè Roero 2004, Cascina Pellerino (half case)
More information...
Red. From the sandy soils of Monteu Roero, this charming Nebbiolo has a velvety nose, deceptively pinot noir-ish, with heady aromas of wild strawberries, old laquer and Rum & Raisin chocolate. The p
alate displays a more typical Nebbiolo profile – sinewy and muscular with nuances of dark molasses, Turkish Delight and balsamic notes. Well paired to meat-based stews and hard cheeses, an excellent introduction to the noblest of Italy’s grape varieties. See in "About Supplier" for information on Cascina Pellerino, Piemonte.

1x ‘Gran Madre’ Barbera d’Alba Superiore 2003, Cascina Pellerino (half case)
More information...
Red. This masterful Barbera is powerful and toothsome with a weight of black fruits and bread dough on both the nose and palate. The wine’s traditionally crunchy acidity has been softened by two years in French barriques and a further six-month bottle ageing before release. A ‘blockbuster’ without the perjorative New World connotations of over-ripe jamminess, La ‘Gran Madre’ shows how good Barbera can develop wisdom not wrinkles. See in "About Supplier" for information on Cascina Pellerino, Piemonte.

1x Merlot 2003, San Leonardo (half case)
More information...
Red. Vibrant cherry red, with attractive depth and decent length. Fruit-rich, Christmas cake aromas in its youth, mellow with bottle age into an earthy, plum and damson compote layered over a faintly grassy background note. Dry, soft and well-balanced on the palate, it reveals a bitter almond twist in the finish and good aromatic length. See in "About Supplier" for more information about Tenuta San Leonardo.

1x Villa Gresti 2001, San Leonardo (half case)
More information...
Red. This superb Merlot-based cuvee from the historic San Leonardo Estate in Trentino leaves many big-name and bigger-price Pomerols in the shade. An intensely inky, ruby colour, and a broad nose of tobacco, vanilla and cocoa wrestling with a weight of ripe damsons and plums. The palate shows a good balance of concentrated dark fruits and mocca, with herbaceous notes from the 10% Carmenere in the blend and long velvety tannins, all at a refreshingly elegant 13% ABV. A must for lovers of sophisticated Bordeaux blends. See in "About Supplier" for more information about Tenuta San Leonardo.

1x Gewurztraminer 2005, Tenuta Hofstätter (half case)
More information...
White. Perhaps the most successful of the Germanic grapes in Italy (also known locally as Traminer Aromatico) this is surprisingly drier than more familiar Alsatian/Austrian/Rhinish efforts. Spicy but delicate, and rather good with smoked fish or even as an aperitivo as is not so perfumed or richly sweet as the the styles one habitually matchmakes with South-East Asian cuisine. See in "About Supplier" for more information about our producer.

1x Meczan Pinot Nero 2006, Tenuta Hofstätter (half case)

Red. A really impressive bargain Pinot Noir, stylistically mid way between Burgundy and New Zealand with the velvety soft, crushed fruit and forest floor nose of the latter but the freshness and elegance of the former. See in "About Supplier" for more information about Hofstätter wines.

1x Crozzol Pinot Nero 2004, Tenuta Hofstätter (half case)
More information...
Red. A delicious new Pinot Noir from unquestionably Italy’s finest producer of this often challenging grape knocks spots off similarly-priced red Burgundies. The vineyard benefits from a bio-dynamic approach to pest control and with its soft, spicy, supple aromas and flavours of wild strawberries and red cherries, woodsmoke, smoked almonds and bitter chocolate, the wine can be paired with cold meats, poultry dishes, and rustic Tyrolean classics like barley and ham hock soup. See in "About Supplier" for more information about Hofstätter wines.

1x Amarone Classico della Valpolicella 2003, La Giaretta (half case)
More information...
Red. Dark and dense with the cherry and chocolate nose of Black Forest Gateaux and notes of cedar, peat blocks and vanilla. The palate betrays the heat of the 2003 vintage, offering a ripe and spicy compote of kirsch, black fruits and cocoa, but there is fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins (as well as 15% alcohol) to give this hedonistic wine a firm backbone. Big and powerful but not flabby and overblown, this wine needs to be taken seriously… See in "About Supplier" for more information about La Giaretta, Veneto.

1x Araldica Pinot Grigio 2005, Valle (half case)
More information...
White. From the renowned Rosazzo vineyard in Colli Orientali, this Pinot Grigio is hand-picked and fermented at low temperature to retain it freshness, elegance and balance. It has a nose of summer meadow flowers, sweet spice, and green fruits (rose petals and Kiwi with a dusting of cinnamon if you care to be poetic). Unlike so many cheap examples – it has the potential to age and improve. Best served with consommè, seafood risotto, soufflè and other delicate egg-based dishes and sweet-cured San Daniele ham from the region. See in "About Supplier" for more information about Valle Friuli.

1x Tocai Friulano, 2005, Valle (half case)
More information...
White. A great introduction to this intriguing, almond-scented grape variety, which makes a characterful aperitivo but has the structure and nutty complexity to pair with a variety of antipasti, soups, risotto, asparagus and even snails (a regional delicacy). See in "About Supplier" for more information on Valle Friuli.

1x L’Araldo 2001, Valle (half case)
More information...
Red. An intriguing and exotic red, made with equal thirds of Refosco, a varietal indigenous to the Friuli region, Merlot and Cabernet. The nose has an intriguing resinous quality with toasted almonds and oak essence, dried plums, quince and wild berries. I also find notes of camphor and juniper on a good sinus day. The fruit is forward on the palate, ripe and spicy. Well-matched to roasted meats and game, as an interesting alternative to claret. See in "About Supplier" for more information on Valle Friuli.

1x Chianti Classico 2004 (half case)

1x Chianti Classico Riserva 2003, Castellare (half case)
More information...
Red. Skillfully avoiding the clumsy over-ripeness that characterises many wines from the ’03 vintage, this beautiful Chianti has a purity, elegance and freshness on the nose which is immediately arresting. The palate is no less impressive, the bright cherry fruit ripe and round but bolstered by crisp acidity and well-measured tannins. There is plenty else in this delightfuly balanced charmer to discover – so why don’t you? See in "About Supplier" for more information on Castellare di Castellina, Toscana.

1x Vin Santo di S. Niccolo 2001 Castellare (3 half bottle case - 37.5cl bottles)
More information...
A Trebbiano/Malvasia blend with intense dried fruit and nut aromas and flavours. Richly alcoholic with notes of caramel and molasses, dried apricots and orange peel. A perfect balance of almondy sweetness and crisp acidity and far too good for dunking Biscotti in, but an ideal accompaniment to nutty puddings.

Red. Sicily's most important native varietal, often thought to share a common ancestry with Syrah; and with its intensely dark colour, and soft ripe black fruit, white pepper and woodsmoke aromas and flavours, the comparison is not elusive.

1x Grappa Stravecchia, San Leonardo (50cl)
More information...
After five years ageing in barrique, the Grappa has a characteristic amber-gold appearance. Full-bodied, aromatic and subtly elegant; a seriously impressive, almost more Brandy-like spirit in its smoothness and unique sensory profile, it is distilled in limited, prestige-enhancing quantities to be savoured in a reflective mood.
