RISERVA BIANCO

La Spinetta Vermentino Toscana IGT 2017…75

Vermentino di Toscana
Aromas of sliced apple, lemon rind and spicy overtones. Medium bodied, bright acidity and a clean finish are proof of the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea.

Tenuta San Leonardo ‘Vette’ 2016…82

Sauvignon Blanc di Trentino-Alto Adige
Straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. This wine has an aromatic fragrance with typical hints of white peach and green peppercorn over a pleasing note of sage. The palate is dry with good acidity, medium bodied and has great mineral complexity and polish.

Jermann Chardonnay 2016…88

Chardonnay di Friuli
Its colour is brilliant yellow with a greenish edge, its aroma is intense and fruity: banana when young, golden delicious apple as it matures. Fantastic cool climate acidity.

San Michele Appiano Riesling 2017…92

Riesling d’Alto Adige
A very aromatic white wine. On the nose it has floral notes, hints of peach and apricot and other stone fruits. Great acidity.

Marco Felluga Russiz Superiore Collio Friulano 2014…112

Friulano di Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Aromas of ripe yellow stone fruit, graphite, grapefruit and hazelnut follow over to the savory medium-bodied palate along with a note of lemon drop. Fresh acidity lends balance while a flinty note lingers on the close.

Giovanni Rosso Etna Bianco 2017…115

Carricante di Sicilia
Bright straw yellow and boasts a floral nose with fragrant notes of jasmine, peony, apple, plum and citrus fruits. A balanced taste, with undertones of the ocean and vivid minerality.

Castello di Ama Rosato (Rosé) 2017…80

Sangiovese di Toscana
Pale cherry pink in colour with fruit-rich fresh red berries, wild strawberry and cherry, not to mention citrus hints of pink grapefruit on the nose. Fresh tasting, lingering, good acidity, tangy. A juicy wine.

RISERVA ROSSO

Domenico Clerico Barbera d’Alba 2015…86

Barbera di Piemonte
Juicy and flamboyant from the very first taste. Blackberry jam, crème de cassis, chocolate, violets, lavender and sweet spice meld together in a deep, unctuous wine.

Agricola Punica Montessu 2014…87

Carignano di Sardegna
Deep ruby in colour, this wine offers intense aromas and flavours of black fruit. It is full bodied with a velvety texture and balanced tannins.

Montalbera Laccento Ruchè Castagnole Monferrato 2015…89

Ruchè di Piemonte
Silky and intriguing, this wine reveals a unique bouquet of rose, strawberry compote, lychee, pepper and spice. Orangey red in colour and medium bodied with refreshing acidity.

Donatella Cinelli Colombini Rosso di Montalcino 2014…96

Sangiovese di Toscana
This Sangiovese aged one year in oak, revealing sweet salami, smoked wood, brooding black plum, earthy cherry, tobacco, leather, tar and lightly tuggy framing tannins that run the sides. Potent balsamic and tobacco linger on the grippy finish.

Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2015…107

Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah di Toscana
Some 80 percent is aged in older three to five-year old barrels, and the remainder goes in concrete, both of which help to release the fruit into the glass. The goal was drinkable wine, but not a simple wine. Expect a classic and savoury Bolgheri nose with more red fruits than black. The wine is both silky and stylish with a complex finish of black olives and spice.

Damilano ‘Lecinquevigne’ Barolo DOCG 2012…120

Nebbiolo di Piemonte
The vines are 30 to 50 years old and you can almost sense them regulating lower yields and squeezing out only the finest juiciest Nebbiolo fruit into the grapes. Revel in its earthy, violet, wild cherry nose. The palate is similar with fleshy, juicy red fruits seldom encountered in young Nebbiolo.

Ca Rugate Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2013…132

Corvina di Veneto
The grapes are racked and dried for four months before a gentle press, a two month ferment and a three year stay in Slavonian oak and a six month stint in bottle after blending, bottling. Leathery blackcurrant and ripe plum is imbued with a twiney thread and tarry undercurrent which seasons the full, potent core through to a humming and lengthy finish.

Castello di Querceto ‘Il Picchio’ 2013 Gran Selezione DOCG…135

Sangiovese di Toscana
Fruity with cherry and strawberry notes. Some tertiary hints remind of leather. Ripe red fruits, succulent and long lasting. Tannins are ripe and delicate. A lively freshness with notes of dark red fruits, wet ground and wood.

La Gerla Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2012…185

Sangiovese Grosso di Toscana
Brilliant ruby red in colour. It’s bouquet is intense, pure and refined, reminiscent of sweet violet, tobacco, chocolate with hints of wild berries and vanilla. A full bodied wine with well balanced tannins and a solid structure.

Tenuta San Leonardo Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2006…210

Cabernet Sauvignon di Trentino-Alto Adige
Ruby in colour, this red boasts a medium nose exuding animal, spicy, fruity and earthy aromas. A full bodied wine expressing refreshing acidity and offering a broad texture and fleshy tannins.

Montevertine Le Pergole Torte IGT 2013…420

Sangiovese di Toscana
Scent of cherries, raspberries and earth. A medium bodied wine that speaks to its terroir. Balanced red berry fruit and spice.

Giuseppe Quintarelli ‘Rosso di Bepi’ IGT 2002…600

Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella di Veneto
Grapes freshly picked and left in wooden boxes to continue ripening. Wild cherry, raspberry, blood orange, incense and a touch of forest floor aromas. Bright acidity brings lifted pomegranate and juicy plum.
