Italian Wine

An opulent and concentrated Brunello, with bright cherry and truffle notes underpinned by stony minerality Full bodied with silky tannins and a long finish, full of finesse

Lovely minerality, dry and zesty with notes of orange peel complemented by peach melba through to a mouthwatering, saline and flinty finish

Made from the Primitivo grape, this is a very appealing pale and tangy rose with aromas of roses and red cherries against a creamy background of Mediterranean spice

A densely flavoured and fleshy wine with hints of prunes and chocolate covered black cherry combined with fresh herbs, quite delicious

This creamy fusion of Chardonnay with Pinot Blanc is crisp, clean, balanced and shows poached pear, butterscotch with a delicate hint of oak From vineyards situated up to 700 metres altitude, in the Florentine mountains Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and French oak barrels, then aged on the lees to develop texture while retaining freshness

The nose is both intense and intriguing Fresh and fruity Its fragrance is reminescent of ripe raspberries and wild blackberries In the mouth, the wine has a robust fruitness, bursting with berries The finish is long and lingering

"Delicate nuances of acacia blossoms and dried rose petals beguile the nose initially, yielding to riper notes of melon, white peach, Golden Delicious apple and subtle banana, lifted by whiffs of pungent wild herbs The mouth, full flavoured, and with an almost salty tang and edgy acidity in places, refreshingly crisp, offers impressions of pear and apple Great length "

A clear, ruby-red wine with violet highlights Its vinous bouquet is fruity, very intense and rather attractive and persistent Nicely dry, well-balanced and velvety; it has a light almondy aftertaste

Absolutely beautiful young Riesling aromas of peach, juicy mango and fresh papaya, alongside distinctive notes of Mount Etna alpine herbs The alluring scent makes taking a sip irresistible, and on the palate it's dry and crisp and yet not overly sharp Wonderfully soft-textured, with tangy mandarin orange and mango flavours Absolutely delicious! The history of Etna is studded with the volcanic eruptions which have shaped it The eruption (eruzione) of 1614 is legendary: lasting ten years and the longest ever recorded, it halted right on the edge of the vineyards of Sciaranuova A very evocative name for the Planeta Cru dell'Etna At the time of planting the vineyards, in keeping with their spirit of research, Planeta planted a small vineyard of Riesling - a variety which loves altitude and lava soils

On the nose ripe red fruit, spices and a balsamic note On the palate it is full-bodied and dominated by mature tannins Great intensity and persistence

Moscato d Asti Bricco Quaglia is the wine that made Giorgio Rivetti famous both in Italy and abroad The nose displays penetrating fruity and floral notes which continue to develop on the palate, it is rich and full flavoured with a slightly bitter finish

Cedar, sandalwood and a sweet dustiness on the nose Cherry and toasted oak palate The finish has fine-grained tannins and a lovely back-end bouquet

If you are a fan of big Italian reds, look no further This is Nebbiolo with a dash of Arneis; rich and complex with layer upon layer of ripe raisin, blackberry and cassis flavours It has a maturity that makes it very enjoyable now Perfect with rich meat dishes 'Sudisfa' means 'satisfied' in the Piedmontese dialect - which is what Giovanni Negro said when he decided on the final blend for the first vintage of this wine, back in 1996

Extreme elegance Its shiny straw-yellow colour with hints of gold is an introduction to a magnificent structure Its bouquet spans from fruity, to floral, to spicy, ending with delicate tertiary notes The initial hints of citrus fruits that bring to mind candied orange peel and pink grapefruit, blend in with a tropical one of pineapple The floral notes that subsequently emerge bring to mind acacia, mimosa and magnolia Progression of vanilla, cinnamon, roasted hazelnut Creamy and sapid side
