Italian Wines

BORGESE BIANCO 2008 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.

  £4.95

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.

  £5.50

MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO "Colle Cavalieri" 2008 Cantina Tollo (Red)
This is been a spectacular success. Rightly, too - it is utterly delicious, with lots of fruit, but also real vinosity.

  £6.55

VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI 2008 Colonnara (White)
An interesting, highly individual flavour. Fresh tasting - goes well with seafood.

  £6.95

COPERTINO Rosso 2005 Leone de Castris (Red)
From the heel of Italy - fantastic quality for the price. Recommended.

  £7.95

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.

  £8.95

SPANNA 2004 DOC Colline Novaresi - Antonio Vallana (Red)
Spanna is the local name in eastern Piedmont for the Nebbiolo grape. Barolo deliciousness at an amazingly reasonable price.

  £11.50

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

  £11.50

AMARONE della Valpolicella "Capitel de Roari" 2006 Luigi Righetti (Red)
Really dense wine - flavours of prunes, bitter cherries, damsons and cinnamon. Absolutely remarkable quality for the price.

  £21.50
