6 Award winning Italian wines
Wines
Bisol, Jeio Brut, Prosecco di Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore, Veneto, Italy NV
Vibrant aromas of white flowers, citrus and peaches, and soft, elegant, spritzy palate, bursting with freshness. Juicy, ripe peach and nectarine flavours, and firm, lingering finish.
Batasiolo, Granée, Gavi, Piedmont, Italy 2014
Fragrant lemons with light notes of candied peel. Fresh and persistent with zippy acidity, some almond tones and a flinty, fruit finish.
Biondi Santi, Rosso di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy 2011
Heady aromas offer red rose, forest pine and spicy meat tones. Smooth and elegant, rich dark cherry sweetness is laced with a whisper of tobacco smoke. Enticingly strong example.
Batasiolo, Barolo, Piedmont, Italy 2011
Ripe red fruit with smoky overtones on the nose. More juicy red fruit on the palate with firm tannin and an enjoyable warmth towards the finish.
Masi, Costasera, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, Veneto, Italy 2010
Powerful and concentrated character, with sweet and subtly bitter notes of dark toffee, caramel and oak. Great balance on the palate, and attractive clean quality, with more personality and pleasure yet to evolve.
Col d'Orcia, Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy 2001
This wine shows great development with some complex, tertiary, leather, tobacco and herbaceous notes to the cherry fruit. The palate boasts from tannins and great acidity which should keep it fresh for many years to come.
