Italian Wines

MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO 2020 Rubino Principe (Red)
Excellent value red: lots of colour, and bouncy flavour. A good example of what you might call a trattoria wine.

  £8.95

"Il Santo" Nistri (Sweetish white) Half bottles
Similar to Vin Santo, but technically a Vino Liquoroso because it's fortified (it is consequently considerably cheaper!). Excellent value. Although fairly sweet it is best drunk on its own, or dunked with cantuccini.

  £8.95

"CAMPOLIETI" Valpolicella Ripasso 2018 Luigi Righetti (Red)
This is a tip-top Ripasso, given oak barrel treatment (though the oak is nicely integrated).

  £14.50

SPANNA  DOC Colline Novaresi 2018 Antonio Vallana 
This wine has the best label ever: a triumphal Roman arch with a four-horse chariot. Spanna is another name for Nebbiolo, and this comes from the eastern hills of Piedmont, outside the town of Novara. It is a different, and thoroughly appetising, interpretation of the great grape of Barolo and Barbaresco - a bit lighter, and lower in alcohol, than its more famous cousins. 

  £21.50

BAROLO 2016 Fenocchio (Red)
Delicious! Another great vintage.

  £36.50
