Italy

An outstanding Sparkling wine from the Franciacorta region. Made from 100% Chardonnay and presented in the most fantastic 'square' bottle. Straw yellow in colour, the palate is rich and crisp with elegant citrus fruit, a steely minerality and moreish acidity. Fine and persistent bubbles leave a pleasant and memorable impression. A must try for Sparkling wine fans.

The colour is an appealing pink with cherry-coloured hints. Fresh berry aromas and a fine mousse lead to redcurrant and citrus notes on the palate, balanced by bright acidity and a clean, dry finish.

A ripe and spicy nose with floral and stone fruit characters. The palate has more honeyed stone fruit and savoury notes backed by fresh citrus acidity.

Lifted floral notes complement ample ripe, plummy fruit, a touch of bramble and spicy notes. The palate has juicy red cherry and blackberry notes with a hint of dark chocolate. Good acidity and ripe, yet firm, tannins make this a good food wine!

From the Southern slopes of the Montalcino hills. Aged for 36 months in Slovak oak and 12 months in bottle. Wonderfull aromatic nose with a juicy, dense red and black fruit palate.

Sensational value! Swiss owned but made by Italians. Deep, dark fruit with fresh notes, ripe tannin and acidity. Brilliant!

Marmora Vermentino Di Sardegna has a rich bouquet with a hint of bitter almond, mineral and zest. The Marmora comes from various different locations on the island and is soft and rounded with peachy white fruit and a deliciously saline finish.

An interesting Sardinian wine made from the Cannonau (Grenache) grape variety. A rich, full-flavoured red with blackberry and red cherry flavours followed by a soft, velvety smooth finish.

The Cantina di Monteforte co-op is situated in the eastern part of Soave Classico and Soave. Cool summer breezes blowing down the Alpone Valley from the foothills of the Dolomites to the north give warm days and cool nights, which helps with the accumulation of aromatic characters in the grapes.

A fresh and lively blend of Garganega, the principal variety of Soave and Pinot Grigio. Excellent value for money from the excellent co-operative of Monteforte, imported directly to Palmers.
