Italy is a magical wine country, where the link between terroir and grape variety results in stylish cuvées. This selection combines fresh whites from Friuli and Soave, a classic Chianti from Tuscany and a regal Nebbiolo from Barolo. Wonderfully "food-friendly"!
Pighin Friuli Grave Pinot Grigio D.O.C. 2025
Appealing dry white wine, with great body and balance. Straw yellow, light amber tinges. Fruity and floral, with pineapple and wisteria blossoms. Will gain complexity over 2 to 3 years. Enjoy chilled at 12°C.
Refreshing and versatile, pairs well with vegetable and seafood based antipasta, a classic with fish dishes, lovely with risottos and vegetable soups, light white meat dishes and delicately flavoured cheeses.
Vigneti Radica Terre D'Abruzzo Pecorino 2024
Dry white wine with a vibrant acidity. 100% organic Pecorino grapes. Clear straw-yellow colour, with delicate floral aromas, fresh citrus notes, and hints of exotic fruit. On the palate, it is balanced and mineral-driven, offering good persistence and a clean, elegant finish. The vineyards are planted at 100 meters above sea level on clay soils, and the wine is aged for seven months on stainless steel at controlled temperature to preserve its aromatic freshness.
Pair with seafood and white fish or a classic seafood risotto. Or with fresh cheeses and light vegetable dishes, especially asparagus or zucchini
Vincentini Soave Garganega D.O.C 2025
Dry, fresh, and mineral-driven. Made from the Garganega grape. Aromas of citrus, green apple, and white blossom, elegant in style.
White fish and seafood, mussels, clams and shrimps. With asparagus & risotto, salad with goat cheese and light pasta dishes with olive oil.
Vicchiomaggio Chianti Classico Riserva Petri DOC 2022
Full bodied red wine, blend of 85 % Sangiovese & 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, produced from a single vineyard on the Castello Vicchiomaggio estate, yields are very low, about 45hl. per ha. The vines are planted on heavy soil with 30% clay on a altitude of 220-265 m. This Chianti initially matures in second fill barriques (previously used for La Prima Gran Selezione) and continues in large oak barrels of 25 – 50 hl for 18 months in total. The wine rests at least 4 – 6 months in bottle before leaving the cellar. Ruby red colour with a garnet hue. Fully developed on the nose with ripe fruit and sweet spices; reminiscent of chocolate / strawberry praline and candied cherry. Well-rounded and soft tannins on the palate fill the mouth, very well balanced and extremely long, some ripe red fruits on the finish. Very enjoyable now with plenty of future potential.
Roasted meat and aged cheese. Go for roast lamb with rosemary and garlic, or veal, especially with mushrooms. Pair with game, especially pheasant and wild boar. Heaven with T-bone or ribeye.
Gagliardo Paulin Dolcetto D'Alba DOC 2020
Dry red wine, medium-bodied. Ruby red in colour with purple edge. Fresh, elegant characterful fruit aromas and flavours. Pleasant and persistent finish.
In Piedmont, Dolcetto is a classic at the table, delicious with risotto, polenta and minestrone. Pairs well with red meat, veal or beef, and vegetarian dishes.
Tenutta Garetto Barolo 2019 DOCG
Barolo with structure, depth and allure. "Suoi" refers to the soil, and for this cuvée, Nebbiolo grapes are hand-harvested in five communes in Barolo. Natural fermentation and 30 months of ageing in large French and Slavonian oak foudres. Complex aromas and flavours of dark fruit, fine spice, roses and violets, tobacco and dried fruit. Velvety tannins and a long finish.
Delicious with steak tartare, grilled steak, sweetbread and beef with mushrooms or truffles. Pair with feathered game such as partridge, pheasant, wild duck and pigeon, or with guinea fowl and quail. A classic with risotto made with porcini mushrooms.
