The Italian Job!

The Italian Job!

Our 6 bottle mixed case explores the fantastic Country of Italy from the very Northern mountains to the sunny Southern region of Puglia.  No mini's included, just fantastic wines here!

1701 Franciacorta Brut Nature

High quality sparkling wine from Lombardy, Northern Italy.  1701 Franciacorta Brut is a blend of Chardonnay 85% and Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) 15%.  Its full palate is balanced by marked acidity.  Mineral hints softened by fresh fruits and a lingering flavour of red apple.

Ca' d'Gal, Moscato d'Asti 'Lumine'

Lumine captures sunny notes of elderflower cordial, mandarin oranges and rose petals, illuminated by a lovely silver-gold effervescence on the tongue.  Flavours of white peaches and pears melt on the tongue like cotton candy, perfectly light and balanced.  Just a touch of frizzante bubble cleanses the palate.  Drink joyously as an aperitif, as a sorbet-like palate-cleanser, with strawberries, fruit pastries, torta di nocciole (hazelnut cake) and zabaione al moscato (zabaione with nutmeg).

Lugana 'Il Gruccione' 2024 Nunzio Ghiraldi

Lugana is produced to the south and south-west of Lake Garda. Situated in the cru of Lugana di Sirmione, and virtually straddling the Veneto border, Nunzio Ghiraldi cultivates the region’s oldest cultivars of the locally named Turbiana (which rather confusingly is also called Trebbiano di Lugana, but which is in fact Verdicchio but not the light workhorse of Italian white wine that is Trebbiano)  Crisp green fruits, touch of honey and stone fruit this is a complex white.

ILatium Morini, Soave Le Calle

A stylish Soave that makes a statement.  100% Garganega with yellow flowers, fresh apple, white peach and a hint of exotic fruit with good mineral tones. The frankness of the varietal bouquet that is typical of the Garganega grape and the elegant hints of ripe and dried fruit give this wine excellent depth.

Casina Bric Mesdi Vino Rosso NV

Mesdi Vino Rosso NV is multi vintage 100% Nebbiolo and an amazing introduction to the stunning wines of Piemonte, located just outside Barolo.  'Casina Bric' translates into 'Hilltop Winery' and a strict organic approach is employed and everything is hand harvested.  A light ruby colour in the glass with aromas of rose petals and sweet spices with notes of dark chocolate and most importantly excellent value!

Masseria Borgo dei Trulli, Primitivo IGP Salento  

This rich Italian red is a bit like walking into your most-loved cafe. Not a greasey spoon, nor a super trendy one - nothing wrong with them but that FAVOURITE place!  Aromas of exotic spices, vanilla, coconut and dried fruits. (They serve a healthy breakfast here!). Followed by rich blackcurrant, chocolate cake and exotic spice flavours. With, of course, fresh coffee on the finish!
