Italy

A wine with a very deep yet bright, golden colour and amber highlights. Subtly eccentric aromas introduce immediate interest - there is a soft honeyed central note with a sweet raisiny, figgy heart. This extends further with age developed nuances such as spices, old furniture, cocoa, chestnuts, and creme caramel. The wine has a very mellow and comfortable feel in the mouth - rich and sweet, yet tangy and orange-peely - giving support to a long and fine finish.

A rich and plummy wine from the Salento Peninsula of the warm, coastal region of Puglia. Hand harvested from selected vinyards of between 20 and 60 years old it displays a soft, rounded palate of plums, dried fruit and light, sweet spice.

From selected vineyard parcels in Treviso, hand harvested and with a cool fermentation. A clean, fresh, citrus nose with a broad palate of lush elderflower fruit.

This clever blend uses the richer fruited Garganega (Soave) and blends it with the more famous Pinot Grigio. It retains an easy drinking style with ripe citrus aromas and red apple flavours on the palate. A clever and modern interpretation of quaffing Pinot Grigio!

Nero d'Avola is a speciality of Sicily and Ca'Di Ponti's grapes are sourced from it's heartland in Riesi, with no oak aging to highlight it's pure Nero fruit.

Vermentino is the native white grape of Sardinia. Fairly robust with distinct citrus into aromatic tropical fruit and minerality.

A honeyed, floral and spicy nose with hints of ginger and stone fruit. Ripe, sun-dried citrus characters on the palate with savoury notes and a creamy texture. Fresh balancing acidity on the lightly nutty finish.

A nose of violets and cherry, light in body with firm structure and tannins giving way to a palate of candied cherry and raspberry fruit.

A top Chianti Classico Riserva with 80% of the wine spending 18 months in Slavonian oak and 20% aged in French oak barriques. Very classic in style showing deep, powerful black and red cherry fruit with violet and black pepper. A truly fantastic wine.

Luisella Benedetti is the third generation of women to run the Ancilla Lugana estate, and this is a fantastic example of her winemaking prowess. Grapefruit and ripe lemon on the nose, rich citrus and a touch of peach on the palate, with a well-rounded and fresh finish.
