White Wines
£ per bottle (75cl) Inc Vat |
|
| NV Il Banchetto Bianco Tavola |
£4.50 |
| An extremely useful wine from the Tenimenti Winery in the heart of Soave country. Clean as a whistle with a crisp floral nose. On the palate this wine is light and fruity with a fresh lemony finish. | |
| 2008 GPG Garganega Pinot Grigio | £5.75 |
| Subtle and delicate nose with soft apple, lemon and walnut fruit. Dry but soft on the
palate with gentle refreshing citrus notes and crisp acidity. |
|
| 2008 Pinot Grigio, Conviviale |
£6.75 |
| A crisp and lively dry wine, lightly aromatic with characters of peach and citrus fruits
on the nose. Medium bodied with fresh lemon fruit, underlying hints of nuts and
a gentle honeyed finish . |
|
| 2009 Poggiotondo Bianco, Tuscany |
£8.95 |
| A lovely fresh white from Tuscany. A blend of Vermentino, Malvasia and Trebbiano,
and aged in stainless steel. Perfumed with a grape and citrus aroma, quite floral with hints of flower
and almond. It's really lively and fresh on the palate with citrus, stone fruits, hints of spice and
good acidity. Really tangy and zesty, yet with good depth on the palate. Bring on the seafood! |
|
| 2007 Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Riccardo Falchini, Tuscany |
£9.95 |
| The only white Tuscan to be awarded the coveted DOCG seal from the Italian
Authorities - not that anybody cares about that! We think this wine is gorgeous:
bright, crisp and packed full of ripe citrus fruits. |
|
| 2009 Gavi di Tassarolo Terraroasa, La Zerba, Piedmont |
£12.00 |
| The wine is pale yellow with light green highlights. It has a warm, rich bouquet of
honeydew melon laced with citrus, supported by herbs and thyme. Pleasing and complex,
on the palate it's round and full, with excellent structure and a long and persistent finish.
Works well as an aperitif, and with fish or vegetarian dishes. Drink now - 2012. |
|
| 2008 Verdicchio di Matelica, La Monesca |
£12.95 |
| This is La Monesca's introduction to the wonderful world of Verdicchio. With a short
period of lees aging and a slightly earlier harvest, the wine leans more towards racy acidity
and a hints of honeysuckle. Think of this as Italy's version of Chablis. |
|
| 2008 Soave Classico, Inama |
£13.85 |
| Stefano Inama makes one of the best examples of high quality, classic Soave with
plenty of mineral character. Drink now-2012. |

£ per bottle (75cl) Inc Vat |
|
| NV Il Banchetto Rosso Tavola |

|
| 2005 Vereto Salice Salentino, Puglia |
£8.25 |
| Deep colour and an intense nose that combines black cherry with classic Puglia
earthiness. Concentrated yet supple, this is a glorious bottle of wine. |
|
| 2007 Chianti Colli dei Senesi, Riccardo Falchini, Tuscany |
£10.50 |
| A really rather lovely Chianti that's great value for money. It has structure and
concentration but still maintains a lovely cherry-like acidity, finding all of these
components at this price is often very difficult. |
|
| 2008 Valpolicella, Allegrini, Veneto |
£11.00 |
| This estate is a superstar and wining more awards than anyone else in Italy! This wine
captures the vibrant, red cherry essence of young Valpolicella and makes the perfect
accompaniment to ham and charcuterie. |
|
| 2008 Barbera d’Alba, Marco Porello, Piedmont |
£12.00 |
| Deep purple in colour with aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and kirsch.
Medium-bodied with delicious raspberry fruit and a long clean finish. Ideal wine to have
with meats, pasta, cheese and charcuterie. |
|
| 2008 Aglianico Terradora, Falanghina, Campania |
£12.00 |
| From a great Campanian producer with a proven track record, this is an unoaked and
early drinking form of Aglianico. It shows plenty of dark cherry and depth that is typical of this
local variety, yet with a nicely balanced tannic grip that makes it a far more seriously satisfying wine than many other young, southern Italian reds. |
|
| 2005 Barolo Rocchettevino, Bovio, Piedmont |
£32.00 |
| Baked fruit cake, coffee and chocolate on the nose. Dense earthy flavours of orange,
smoky tea and tobacco on the palate. This is a classic drinking Barolo with relatively soft tannins
for the Nebbiolo grape. Drink now-2015. |
|
| 2005 Amarone del Valpollicella, Adalia, Veneto |
£40.00 |
| An intense and powerful expression of this Veronese classic. After 100 days of natural
drying in the open air the grapes are crushed and are fermented in upright wooden fermenters.
Amarone is then aged for at least two years in bottle before release. Deep ruby in colour, with rich
and powerful notes of red cherry, damson, spice and mulberry. |
|
PIO CESARE, PIEDMONT |
|
| We are agents for this historic family-owned estate. Named after its founder who established the
business in 1881. It is based in Alba in the heart of the Piedmont region, nestled between the Alps
and the mediterranean Sea. The surrounding hills provide ideal exposures for grape growing with
unique micro-climates. The confluence of cold Alpine air with warm maritime moisture regularly
creates a misty glow, or ‘nebbia’, over these foothills, hence Nebbiolo, the great red variety of
the region. |
