Italy
Italy is renowned for its exceptional wine production, with iconic regions such as Tuscany, Piedmont, and Veneto producing world-class varietals like Chianti, Barolo, and Prosecco. The country has a rich tradition of spirits, including amaro, grappa, and the famous aperitif, Campari, showcasing a diverse range of flavours and styles. Italy’s craft beer scene is also flourishing, with breweries creating innovative brews that highlight local ingredients and traditional brewing techniques.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro Stile Capri
A light, aromatic lager with crisp citrus at the centre, joined by a subtle olive-leaf note and a restrained spicy edge. Bitterness is delicate and neatly balanced, leaving the palate fresh rather than sharp. The finish is clean, dry and distinctly refreshing. Serve thoroughly chilled with grilled prawns, calamari, pizza bianca, simple tomato salads or lightly salted antipasti, where the lemon-toned lift can keep each bite lively.
Luxardo Sambuca dei Cesari 50 mL
Star anise leads the aroma with a clear licorice note, followed by gentle herbs and sweet spice. The palate is smooth and richly textured, with clean anise carrying through a long, warming finish. Serve neat, over ice or with three coffee beans in the classic Italian style; it also works alongside espresso, diluted with water as an aperitif, or in a simple coffee-led cocktail.
Malfy Gin Con Arancia 20 mL
Ripe Sicilian blood orange gives this Italian gin a vivid, juicy citrus core, framed by hand-picked juniper and fine botanicals. Orange blossom lifts the aroma, while the palate balances sweet orange richness with a gently bitter citrus edge and a clean botanical finish. Serve over ice with tonic and an orange wheel, or use it to give a Negroni or spritz a brighter, fruit-forward accent.
Malfy Gin Con Limone 20 mL
Sun-ripened Italian lemon and fragrant Amalfi lemon peel lead with a vivid, zesty citrus aroma. Hand-picked juniper and fine botanicals provide a clean gin backbone, while hints of bitter orange rind keep the fruit bright rather than sweet. The finish is refreshing, lightly herbal and persistent. Serve with tonic and a lemon wheel, or use it to sharpen a Martini, Collins or spritz.
Baladin Nazionale Blonde Ale 330 mL
Chamomile and citrus give this Italian blonde ale a fragrant, gently floral profile. Delicate bitterness from Italian-grown hops balances the fruit and spice, while bottle refermentation adds a fine, lively texture. The palate remains composed and quietly complex, with a fresh citrus-led finish. Serve cool with antipasti, grilled fish, roast chicken, soft cheese, herb-led pasta or citrus-dressed vegetables.
Sancrispino NV Lambrusco Frizzante Rosso Can
Lightly sparkling and ruby-red with violet reflections, opening on delicate violet aromas and fresh red-fruit character. The palate is dry, fruity and easygoing, with gentle bubbles and a clean, refreshing finish. Its modest weight and savoury freshness make it especially versatile at the table. Serve well chilled with pasta, white meats, fresh cheeses, charcuterie or simple tomato-based dishes.
Strega Herbal Liqueur 50 mL
Saffron gives the liqueur its distinctive golden hue, while mint, cinnamon, juniper and licorice shape a layered herbal aroma. The palate is sweet but structured, with cool mint and warm spice moving toward a gently woody, aromatic finish. Serve neat, well chilled or over ice, or use sparingly in a cocktail; it also pairs naturally with espresso, citrus desserts or a simple almond biscuit.
Gigglewater Prosecco Rosé 200 mL
Red berries and light floral tones lead, carried by fine bubbles and a clean citrus lift. The palate is lively and fruit-forward, with crisp acidity bringing freshness and a gentle touch of sweetness rounding the centre. Bright rather than weighty, it keeps its red-fruit character clear through the finish. The close is refreshing and softly effervescent, with lingering berry and citrus notes.
Campagnola 2022 Pinot Grigio delle Venezie
Clean and bright, with green apple, pear and a light floral note. The palate is dry and crisp, carrying gentle citrus and a subtle mineral edge through a fresh, tidy finish. Easy to place at the table, this Pinot Grigio works well as an aperitif or with shellfish, salads and simply grilled white fish.
Asahi Super Dry 0.0% Non-Alcoholic Lager 6-Pack
Pale malt and a light grain note open a clean, restrained aroma. The palate is crisp and briskly carbonated, with gentle malt sweetness quickly giving way to the distinctly dry profile. Mild hop bitterness keeps the finish sharp without adding weight. The overall impression is light, refreshing and precise. Serve cold with sushi, fried chicken, salty snacks, grilled fish or vegetable tempura.
Elisir Gambrinus Raboso Piave Wine Liqueur 100 mL
Deeply coloured and concentrated, with dried red fruit, fig, prune, date and raisin at the centre. Browned butter and an earthy truffle note add savoury complexity, while the naturally firm Raboso acidity keeps the richness composed. The palate is moderately sweet rather than syrupy, finishing with a gentle bitter edge that brings freshness and length. Serve in a small glass after dinner, either at cool room temperature or lightly chilled, alongside dark chocolate or aged cheese.
Cinzano Extra Dry Vermouth 1 L
Fresh mint, sage and oregano shape the aroma, with a subtle thread of spice beneath. The palate is crisp and wine-led, balancing herbal freshness with a restrained bitterness that gives the finish definition. Clean and composed rather than sweet or heavy, it works well chilled as an aperitif, over ice with a twist, or in classic dry cocktails where its herbal detail can remain clear.
Luxardo Limoncello Lemon Liqueur 200 mL
Clean lemon zest and fragrant citrus oils lead a vivid, aromatic nose, with a subtle white-pepper note adding definition. The palate is smooth and generously textured, carrying ripe lemon sweetness through bright, balancing acidity. The profile remains fresh rather than heavy, and the finish is long, zesty and clean. Serve well chilled, over ice, or lengthened with soda or tonic.
Viavino NV Rosato 500 mL Box
Pale pink, light-bodied and quietly refreshing, with vivid summer berry aromas and a soft, rounded palate. Fresh strawberry notes carry through the finish, where a gentle creamy impression gives the wine a little extra breadth without sacrificing its easygoing character. The compact carton is well suited to picnics, casual lunches or a simple plate of antipasti.
Mannara 2022 Pinot Grigio Sicilia
Lemon zest, green apple and pear lead a bright aromatic profile, with subtle white florals adding lift.

Straightforward and refreshing, this Pinot Grigio suits aperitifs, simple salads, shellfish or lightly grilled white fish.
Martini & Rossi Rosso Vermouth 500 mL
Orange zest and dried flowers open into a layered mix of herbs, raisins and warming spice. Gentle sweetness gives the palate breadth, while fresh acidity and a restrained bitter edge preserve balance and keep the finish clean. The aromatic, citrus-toned close suits simple aperitif service over ice with orange or soda, as well as classic whisky- and gin-based cocktails. Pair with olives, salumi, roasted nuts or mature cheese.
