White Wines

Greco di Tufo DOCG Vesevo, 2005	£27.50
Aromatic with a hint of white stone fruit on the nose and an almost Viognier like character on the palate.

Traminer Aromatico Franz Haas, 2005 Trentino	£41.90
100% Gewurztraminer. A complex bouquet with notes of roses, cloves and lychees. On the palate this wine displays its full body and the subtly bitter finish typical of Traminer.

Sharjs Livio Felluga, 2005 Friuli	£39.90
A blend of Chardonnay & Ribolla Gialla. Its delicate perfume of peaches gives way to a rich yet elegant fruit - very impressive.

Collio Tocai Friulano Marco Felluga, 2003 Friuli	£37.90
Well structured, silky & enveloping wine. Almond blossom is distinct on the nose followed by floral notes of hawthorn and camomile. Excellent with all types of fish, risottos and all first course dishes.

Sauvignon Bianco Le Zuccole, 2005 Friuli	£33.50
100% Sauvignon. Interestingly fragrant & aromatic with hints of sambuca, sage & peach. A hearty & fruity taste that recalls green pepper.

Red Wines

Ripassa Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC, 2004	£41.50
Zenato Veneto
A close relation to Amarone. Ripassa takes its name from the ancient process of Ripasso (repassed). After the Valpolicella is fermented it is put into the vessels used for Amarone - results in additional alcohol & body in the wine. Deep ruby red with an intense, persistent bouquet. Full bodied, harmonious & velvety smooth.

San Zio Cantine Leonardo, 2005 Tuscany	£43.90
Predominantly Sangiovese with Merlot. Shows intense red fruit perfumes fusing with toasty oak on the nose. The immediate impact in the mouth is concentrated and fine with good weight of savoury fruit balancing the ripe tannins, acidity and alcohol. The wine has excellent length.

Flaccianello della Pieve, Tenuta Fontodi, 2003 Tuscany	£75.00
Made solely from Sangiovese, a selection of the estates best fruit. A consistent Three Glasses award in the Gambero Rosso Guide to Italian wines.

Merlot Isonzo I Feudi di Romans, 2003 Friuli	£27.90
Good colour, ripe plumy fruit with a hint of tobacco and supple tannins. Should be on everyone's to try list as it outclasses many a pricier Pomeroi or St Emilion.

Palazzo della Torre IGT Allegrini, 2001 Veneto	£37.00
A big chewy wine with cherry, plum fruit and spicy raisiny undertones to give a satisfying complexity on the palate.

Barol Pio Cesare	£110
A classic full bodied Barolo with an air of aristocracy and dominance. Aromas of plum & fresh flowers with velvety tannins. Intense glossy garnet colour with orange reflections. The palate is dry &austere with a hint of almonds. Fabulous.

Barlo Fontama Fredda	£58.00
Classic dark ‘tar’ and perfumed ‘roses’ on the nose, light in colour but with great power, concentration and well balanced ripe tannins. This is a wine to match with rich foods and game dishes.

Barlo Dezzani	£43.90
Garnet red in colour with fragrances of violet, pepper & spices. Full & harmonious on the palate with excellent tannins thanks to the obligatory 2 years in oak. Great value.

Amarone Cescare	£39.00
A superior red wine, when poured Amarone releases an ethereal orange aura that highlights the glass with warm colour at its best with hearty meats & games. A wonderful wine.

Marchesi Antinori Tiganello	£110.00
A vibrant, stylish, full bodied wine with a real presence on the palate. Dense & plummy fruit on the nose with hints of roasted tomatoes & a full masculine texture. Intense ruby red colour with light garnet hues. Delicious.

Barolo Mossolino	£90.00
Winemaker Franceo Massolino has done a wonderful job of marrying change to a respect for tradition that sets him apart from most of the younger producers in Barolo today. His Barolos have a classic style & structure with a modern purity of fruit.
