BORGESE BIANCO 2010 DOC Castelli Romani - Cantine di Campoverde (White)
Surprisingly interesting for a wine of this (very reasonable) price. It is quite soft, and really benefits from chilling.

VIN SANTO "Il Santo" Nistri (Sweetish white) Half bottles
Vin Santo is an Italian speciality. This is a fine example, and excellent value. Although fairly sweet it is best drunk on its own, or dunked with cantuccini.

MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO "Colle Cavalieri" 2009 Cantina Tollo (Red)
This is been a spectacular success. Rightly, too - it is utterly delicious, with lots of fruit, but also real vinosity.

VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI 2010 Colonnara (White)
An interesting, highly individual flavour. Fresh tasting - goes well with seafood.

IL VOLANO 2007 IGT Rosso di Toscana - Il Molino di Grace (Red)
From a Chianti producer, this is a blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Montepulciano. Recommended.

COPERTINO Rosso 2005 Leone de Castris (Red)
From the heel of Italy - a delicious drink. Here is Burton Anderson's description of Copertino: "Deep ruby, velvety, rich in aroma and flavour, it has a nicely bitter undertone and improves with 4 - 10 years." A description that perfectly fits this example.
Recommended.

CHIANTI CLASSICO 2002 Fattoria della Aiola (Red)
Excellent Chianti: soft, with a touch of spice. Delicious drinks.

VALPOLICELLA Ripasso "Campolieti" 2009 Luigi Righetti (Red)
Try this and discover a whole new dimension of Valpolicella: this is rich, chocolatey, with notes of vanilla from oak ageing.
|
 |
£12.50 |
|
AMARONE della Valpolicella "Capitel de Roari" 2008 Luigi Righetti (Red)
This is still settling down - all the pieces have not yet fallen into place. It will calm down, but could do with more time.

£25.50 |
