Alois 2020 Ponte Pellegrino Falanghina
Pear and grapefruit open a fresh, floral white, followed by ripe peach, apricot and a light citrus note. Dry and smooth on the palate, it has enough rounded, almost waxy texture to feel generous, while bright acidity keeps the fruit focused. The finish is persistent and clean. Serve with grilled fish, shellfish or fresh cheese.
Ciu Ciu 2019 Bacchus Piceno Rosso
Ruby with violet highlights, developing warmer tones with age. The nose moves from ripe fruit and flowers toward subtle savoury complexity, while the palate is dry, full and well balanced, with measured tannins and a lightly saline edge. Made from carefully selected Sangiovese and Montepulciano; ideal with pasta ragù, grilled meats or aged cheese.
Villa Barcaroli 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Juicy red berries lead, joined by subtle spice and earthy, savoury depth. The palate is generous but unforced, with supple structure and natural freshness keeping the fruit lively. Stainless-steel ageing preserves its energy and purity, while a lightly rustic edge gives the finish character, balance and an easy affinity with food.
Villa Locatelli 2024 Friulano Friuli Isonzo DOC
Straw yellow with light golden reflections, opening on wildflowers, dried hay and fresh herbs, followed by almond and a restrained touch of honey. Smooth, dry and medium-bodied, the palate is balanced by clean freshness and a gently savoury texture. A characteristic bitter-almond note gives the finish definition and length.
Villa Locatelli 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Friuli Isonzo DOC
Pale green with golden highlights, opening intensely with grapefruit, white peach and fresh mint. Green bell pepper and tomato leaf bring a precise herbal edge, followed by thyme, rosemary and marjoram. Dry and medium-bodied, the palate is warm, elegant and well balanced, with bright citrus freshness carrying the aromatic finish.
Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth 375 mL
Rich and rounded, this traditional Italian vermouth opens with vanilla, warm spice, citrus peel and dried fruit. Almond, raisin and clove add depth, while measured bitterness keeps the generous palate composed and persistent. Serve lightly chilled, over ice with orange peel, or in a Manhattan or Negroni. It also pairs well with aged cheese, charcuterie and chocolate-led desserts.
Terre Magre 2020 Merlot Friuli DOC
Intense ruby in the glass, with ripe red fruit moving toward cherry, plum and a touch of delicate preserve. Dry, smooth and full-bodied, the palate is balanced by moderate acidity and sweet, finely textured tannins. The fruit remains generous but controlled, carrying softly into a rounded, approachable finish.
Mirco Mariotti NV Smarazen Pét-Nat
Mirco Mariotti NV Sèt e Mèz Pét-Nat Rosé
Wild strawberry, raspberry and tart red cherry meet spicy red plum and a subtle hint of anise. The palate is bone dry and lightly sparkling, its vivid acidity carrying savoury red fruit over a distinctly saline core. A bitter quinine edge gives the energetic, unconventional finish impressive definition.
Giordano Lombardo 2022 Gavi di Gavi
Fresh hay and acacia flower lead, with delicate citrus, orchard fruit and an intense thread of light minerality behind them. The palate is harmonic and supple, shaped by clean acidity and persistent freshness. A subtle almond-like nuttiness adds quiet depth before the long, balanced and gently savoury finish.
Aldegheri 2019 I Lastari Valpolicella Classico Superiore
Deep ruby and smoothly rounded, with cherry and marasca cherry at the centre of a broad, complex bouquet. The palate is dry, full and velvety, carrying ripe red fruit through a harmonious, persistent finish. There is enough structure for further development, but the generous fruit makes it inviting now. Serve with pasta, roast poultry, veal or firm cheese.
Giordano Lombardo 2020 Sasso Alto Barbera
Tangy blueberry, cherry and kirsch give this medium-bodied red a bright, generous core. The fruit stays vivid through the palate, supported by lively acidity and an easy, approachable texture. A fresh, clean finish keeps the style versatile at the table. Serve with tomato-based pasta, roast pork or grilled sausages.
Sella & Mosca 2021 Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva
Cherries and dark berries meet herbs, smoke and sun-dried tomato on a savoury, Mediterranean-leaning nose. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly peppery, with subtle minerality, polished tannins and a measured touch of spice. Blueberry and dark chocolate add depth before a tasty, composed finish. A natural match for roast lamb, sausages or mushroom dishes.
Anselmi 2021 San Vincenzo Veneto
Bisol NV Jeio Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut
Fresh green apple, pear and white flowers lead, with citrus, peach and apricot close behind. The palate is bright and balanced, its gentle mousse carrying crisp grapefruit, straw and aromatic herbs. A subtle river-stone note adds definition, while a delicate savoury edge keeps the clean, lively finish dry and precise.
Cornelia Tessari 2024 Grisela Soave Classico DOC
Cantina Colli Euganei 2023 Rialto Merlot Colli Euganei
Dark berry fruit fills the palate from the first sip, generous and full-flavoured without feeling heavy. Bright freshness and juicy lift give the wine an easy, energetic shape, while soft, harmonious tannins frame the fruit rather than dominate it. The finish is smooth and uncomplicated. Serve slightly cool with pizza, tomato-rich pasta, grilled sausages or simple roast chicken.
