An award winning Sauvignon from one of the best Italian winemakers.

This is a fantastic Sauvignon from Friuli Venezia Giulia, north east of Italy, from the Colli Orientali area made with manually harvested Sauvignon grapes from very old vines, a wine with an aromatic and delicate nose with scents of yellow pepper, peach and sage.

A great, classic Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, a rich, big and bold wine.

Bianco Pomedes, Scubla

Certainly one of the best Italian white wines, in the top 3 for us. Pomedes is also one of the first wines we started importing. Pomedes is a white wine with a never ending list of awards, from the 3 glasses Gambero Rosso to top rating on the Italian sommelier guide, but Pomedes is before anything else, a great white wine. A wine we fell in love immediately, after the first sip 20 years ago, an Italian white wine that could compete with the best French whites hands down.

A lightly oaked, rich, white wine from Friuli, a blend of Pinot Bianco, Friulano and Riesling grapes grown in the Colli Orientali area of Friuli Venezia Giulia, fermented and refined in new French barrique. This white wine is elegant and complex, aromatic, with aromas of fruits underlying hints of vanilla, where the oak is well balanced and doesn’t take over the aromaticy of the wine, a powerful white wine with an enduring aftertaste in the mouth.

This wine is named after a famous refuge in the Alps, Pomedes, where Roberto Scubla and a friend were caught by a storm when descending the mountains, and whilst waiting for the storm to pass, they shaped the wine.

Cabernet Franc, Scubla

Cabernet Franc is not usually associated with Italy and Italian cabernet franc wines are not easily found, in Italy or outside, due to their very distinctive nose and palate, a nose and palate that are not everyone's’ cup of tea, but Scubla’s Cabernet Franc is one of our favourite wines.

In Italy the grape is mainly grown in Friuli Venezia Giulia where it is vinified on its own, Tuscany where it is used in Supertuscan blends and can be found sporadically in other region as far as Sicily.

This is a 100% cabernet franc wine made from manually harvested grapes grown in the Colli Orientali area, Friuli Venezia Giulia, with its characteristic herbaceous nose and hints of raspberry evolving into a more complex nose as the wine ages in the bottle. The palate is very hearty, with a soft tannin and almost a chocolaty aftertaste. A great Cabernet Franc wine for all lovers of the grape.

Recioto della Valpolicella Classico, Gamba

Recioto della Valpolicella is the traditional dessert wine of the Valpolicella region, made using the same grapes used in the other Valpolicella wines.

The wine making process of the Recioto della Valpolicella is similar to the Amarone’s, with the grapes left to dry anywhere between 100 and 200days, until they reach the necessary amount of sugar content.

This Recioto della Valpolicella Classico is made using only the best, hand picked grapes from vineyards located in the “classico” area at about 600 masl. The grapes, once harvested are put in small boxes to avoid damaging them, and left to dry. Once the grapes reach the required sugar content, they are vinified and aged in wood.

The result is an unctuous Recioto della Valpolicella with a complex nose, with cherry and red fruit notes, with a warm palate, sweet and with a pleasant acidity and smooth tannins.

Prosecco Superiore di Valdobbiadene DOCG, La Farra

Prosecco is one of the big wine stories, the wine has taken over the world in a relatively short time, becoming the most drunk and possibly famous, sparkling wine in the world, overtaking champagne. In the last 10 years, Prosecco consumption has exploded, we all love a glass or two, but not all Prosecco are the same.

The Prosecco region is divided into two sub areas, the DOC area, where Prosecco is made, and the DOCG area, the heart, the best hills and vineyards, recently added to Unesco World Heritage List, where the Prosecco Superiore is made and Prosecco di Valdobbiadene is one of them. Prosecco Superiore is very different from the normal Prosecco, it is a cut above the DOC, it is more elegant, more refined.

This Prosecco Superiore di Valdobbiadene, made from hand picked glera grapes grown in the heart of Valdobbiadene area and voted best Prosecco from The Times in a tasting, has a very elegant and delicate nose with floral hints and a soft, gentle bubble, with just the right acidity to accompany light dishes or canapés or just to be sipped on its own as an aperitif.

Sparkling Rosé, La Farra

There is no such a thing as the Prosecco Rose’, Prosecco can only be white because Glera grapes are white, so this sparkling wine is a blend of glera and raboso both vinified according to the charmat method, with the second fermentation taking place in the tank. The result is a pink spumante with an elegant color and a very fruity nose with strawberries and cherries notes, crisp, dry and light in the mouth.

Gewurztraminer, Egger Ramer

Lagrein Rose', Egger Ramer

Made with Lagrein grapes grown on the Dolomites slopes this is an unusual, still outstanding rose, for many aspects similar to a red. This rose' wine has a distinctive fruity bouquet with hints of cherries and strawberries. In the mouth, it is fresh, medium-bodied, with a vibrant acidity and a lingering aftertaste with an elegant bitter twist...

Lagrein, Egger Ramer

This Lagrein is an excellent interpretation of the grape with a deep ruby colour and a nose of violets and plums with sandalwood scents, the wine is lively with a clean acidity and smooth tannins. Made with selected grapes from vineyards located in the centre of Bolzano, Gries, from the Egger Ramer family and aged in large wood barrels.

The Lagrein grapes is a native grape of Trentino Alto Adige, for more information check our wine and grape guide.

Sardinian wine tasting - Newcastle

Sardinia is an Italian island that, due to its location, has kept their traditions, in fact there are very few influences of external cultures visible in their heritage and in their cuisine and at the same time, the island, being isolated by the rest of the world has created a cuisine made with ingredients that were easy to find on the island and where the main elements were fish for the population living along the coast and meat for those living inland. The tasting will feature dishes typical of the Sardinian cuisine accompanied by their most typical and known wines and it will be visible how, the wines perfectly match the food, and will also showcase, the only Cannonau white produced. Cannonau is a red grape, but like any red grape, can also be made white.

Sauvignon Monferrato Bianco, l'Armangia

A great Sauvignon, a great white wine fermented on its own lees.

Named Enne Enne, "Figlio di ennenne" in Italian means "child of an unnamed person", because of the often bizarre Italian wine appellation system, this Monferrato DOC, an appellation that allows many grapes, red and white, is a great white wine. There are plenty of Monferrato Bianco DOC wines from hundreds of producers, each one made using different grapes but all having the same name on the label resulting in completely different wines.

This wine, made with Sauvignon grapes from a single vineyard located near the producer winery, on a hill, once the grapes are harvested and pressed the juice sits on its lees for 3-4 months at a temperature of 4-6°C producing a totally different Sauvignon from what you are used.

This Sauvignon has a richer and more complex nose, soft and full on the palate, elegant, with a long persistence, a white wine that pairs beautifully rich dishes, including fresh cheeses and represents an alternative to medium-bodied red wines.

Barbera d'Asti, l'Armangia

This is a typical, traditional, Barbera D’Asti, with a fruity bouquet and a lovely acidity, a light and refreshing red wine made from one of the Barbera d’Asti specialist. The nose is intense, rich, fruity, filled with stone fruits (mostly cherries), strawberries, violets, the palate is smooth, balanced, with a very pleasant acidity, characteristic of the wine and main difference with its close neighbour, the Barbera d'Alba.

The Barbera d’Asti is the everyday wine of the inhabitants of Asti and province and it is a very versatile red wines, from starter to main courses, from pizza to omelet, this is a wine that can paid many dishes and courses.

Barbera d'Asti Superiore "Sopra Berruti", l'Armangia

This is a fantastic Barbera d’Asti Superiore with the typical characteristics of the wine, fruity and a lively acidity, but also a more complex nose with firm, soft tannins and an elegant palate.

Barbera d’Asti is often wrongly considered a cheaper alternative of the Barbera d’Alba, due to its higher acidity that if not balanced could make the wine unpleasant to drink, but they are just two different wines and this Barbera d’Asti Superiore is certainly not your typical Barbera, this red wine is richer, more complex, made by blending two different Barbera wines, one that has been kept in steel tanks and another one that has been aged in oak.

Barbera d‘Asti when properly made can a great wine, read about the hundreds shades of the appellation.

This Pinot Nero, with its ruby red colour and light garnet tinges, has a complex, intense and rich nose, with fruits (cherries, red berries, mint, vanilla) and spices hints. In the mouth, the wine is smooth, clean, velvety, with soft tannins and harmonic, with a never ending finish

Monferrato DOC Rosso "Pacifico", l'Armangia

Sidereus, Abraxas
A blend of Nero d’Avola and Cabernet Franc, very rarely found on these latitudes, aged for about twelve months in small French oak barrels before more bottle ageing, produce a very interesting wine.

The result is a wine that takes the best of both grapes, with a complex nose with layers of fruit, followed by spices due to the oak ageing, with an elegant, lively palate with a very long aftertaste.

Nero d'Avola "Kuddia del Moro", Abraxas
A very elegant, aged Nero d'Avola - in a blind tasting you will struggle to get the grape right, the fruit is there, but there is much more to it - with a complex nose, plenty of black fruit, blueberries above all, but after the first swirl, the fruity aromas give way to spices, cloves, white pepper. On the palate this Nero d’Avola is smooth, soft, velvety, perfectly balanced with a never ending, slightly mineral finish, reminding of the Mediterranean Sea.

Nero d’Avola wines are often associated to one dimensional, fruity, big Sicilian red wines, however, if properly trained, the grape can produce amazing wines suited to ageing and this one comes from the beautiful island of Pantelleria. This is an outstanding red wine to sip or enjoy with mature cheeses and good company or some dark chocolate.

Dadelio Bianco, Icardi
This table white wine is made with 70% Cortese and 30% Moscato Bianco grapes... The Dadelio Bianco is full-bodied; that is thanks to the grapes being cultivated in harmony with their natural cycle and with the utmost respect for the soil.

This wine is biodynamic, which means the soil undergoes annual deep-tillage and vivication by grass and weeds earthing up; biodynamics preparations are then sprayed onto the soil to favour the natural humus formation.

Panettone 500g, Pasticceria Aliverti
Christmas without panettone would be considered a sad Christmas for any Italian family, but in Milano, where this special bread was born, it’s inconceivable. In the few weeks before Christmas, hundreds of millions of panettoni are sold all over Italy, and throughout Europe, as well as in North America. That famous brightly colored box—oversized, festive and elegant—is an immediate cue that the holidays are here. The classic panettone weighs about a kilo (that is, 2.2 lbs) and is about 8 inches high. The special dough, similar to sourdough, slowly ferments and rises for at least 12 hours, but the leavening process can last much longer. Panettone ingredients are usually flour, eggs, butter, yeast, dried raisins, candied oranges, citron and lemon zest. Throughout Italy, bakeries still prepare it daily during the Christmas season for their clients. The quality of bakery-made panettone is usually excellent and is reflected in the price. But the industrial, or commercially produced panettone that is for sale in supermarkets, is undeniably delicious as well. Though called a bread in Italy, panettone is eaten as a dessert or a snack; because it’s not overly sweet, the long slivers—the tall cake is cut in slices from top to bottom—can be gobbled up with guiltless abandon.

Gavigliano, Luciano Landi

It has a rich, ruby red colour, vivacious and bright. It has a fresh aroma with an intense scent of violet, fruits of the forest and spices. Its flavour is robust and warm. It is full-bodied, pleasant and harmonious.

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, Luciano Landi
Verdicchio is a white wine made in the Marche, central Italy, and a very famous one, Verdicchio was one of the first to be exported outside Italy, in the eighties Verdicchio was on tables all over the world, but, due to producers more interested in quantity than quality, its reputation faded away and slowly disappeared, but the name is still very much known and bring memories of Italian restaurants of the 80s.

In the last few years, thanks to a new breed of young producers interested in quality, Verdicchio has come back into fashion and some great wines have started to appear, including wood aged Verdicchio, as to prove that the grape can, if properly grown, produce much more than easy, tasteless, white wines.

Luciano Landi, with his sons, is one of them; their Verdicchio is, according to us, one of the best wine we have tasted within the appellation, it has a beautiful fruity nose, reminding of Golden apples, with a fresh and elegant palate, refreshing, harmonious and persistent, dry.

A great accompaniment to fish dishes, such as the famous local fish soup or to drink with a salad.

Lacrima di Morro d'Alba, Luciano Landi

Intense perfume which is typical of the Lacrima grapes, with flavours of fruits of the forests, rosehip and spices. Full and elegant flavour, full bodied, that enhances the sense of smell.

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Fosso Cancelli, Ciavolich
Fosso Cancelli is a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo on its own. When I first tasted it, it was its first released, I was just given a glass and asked to taste. The wine was fruity, fresh, smooth, a beautiful wine. When I was actually told that it was a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2007 fermented and aged in concrete, I could not believe it, the wine was amazingly young. Because of its complexity in the wine making process only about 1000 bottles are made each vintage and when the vintage allows.

This is a wine for connoisseurs, is a wine that require care, that need opening hours before, even a day. The nose is complex, very young, fresh, fruity, on the palate the wine is lively, fruity, smooth, with a very long aftertaste.

Raw Acacia Honey (70gr), Sant'Agata
A very delicate honey, this organic Italian raw Acacia honey harvested in Tuscany, in a 70gr jar, is a natural sweetener with a very delicate vanilla and candy aftertaste

Not all honey is created equal. In fact, not all “honey” is even real honey, a number of ingredients are often added to what we buy as “honey”.

Ribo' IGA Craft Beer, Gjulia
Ribo' is a IGA, Italian grape ale, another top fermented pale beer from our favourite brewery, this time with the addition of the must of Ribolla Gialla, a native Friulian white grape variety, hence the IGA classification.

With an intense golden-yellow colour, this craft beer offers scents of wild flowers and mineral notes to the nose and on the palate this pale ale shows the Ribolla Gialla characteristics. It is a perfect beer to drink on its own or together with appetisers and pizzas.

This craft beer like all others from Gjulia Brewery, it uses own produced malt and it is secondarily fermented and aged in bottle, non filtered or pasteurized, therefore presents natural sediments.

Calis, Rivetti & Lauro
A beautiful white wine made with Nebbiolo, vinified in white, and Sauvignon Blanc, a very successful experiment, one in which the zestiness of the Sauvignon Blanc complement the elegance and structure of the Nebbiolo aged in steel tank. Nebbiolo grapes grown at altitude gives the wine not only freshness but also elegance.

The result is a beautiful white wine with an intense and fruity nose, fresh, refreshing, elegant, balanced and with a long aftertaste. Perfect as an aperitif and to accompany canapes, but also important fish dishes and white meat.

Gias, Rivetti & Lauro
A beautiful white wine made with Nebbiolo, vinified in white, and mainly Chardonnay aged in small barrels for about 6 months.

The result is a white wine with a complex and intense nose, soft, elegant, a perfectly balanced white wine where the oak and the fruit go hand in hand, a smooth and soft wine, a wine where the nebbiolo add structure to the chardonnay to make it an important wine.

Gias is a complex white wine, can pair charcuterie, creamy pasta and complex white meat dishes.

Sotama, Rivetti & Lauro
A great red wine made with Nebbiolo grapes grown on the slopes of the Dolomites in the Valtellina and a small percentage, only 10%, of Syrah to add spices and fruit.

The grapes are manually harvested and then aged in small French barrels, second passage, already used, as to preserve the characteristics of the grapes and avoid the “wood” flavour to overtake the wine. Once the wine completes the ageing process, it is left in the bottle for an additional 18 months before being released.

The result is a fantastic red wine with a nose of spice and red fruit hints, full bodied, a very smooth palate with soft tannins, and despite Syrah being only 10%, it adds to the Nebbiolo without taking anything away.

A very versatile red wine, can pair a pasta dish as well as game

Cormelo, Rivetti & Lauro
A great red wine made with Nebbiolo grapes grown on the slopes of the Dolomites in the Valtellina area with only a small percentage, 10%, of merlot to add fruit and soften the tannins and what a difference it makes.

The grapes are manually harvested and then aged in small French barrels, second passage, already used, as to preserve the characteristics of the grapes and avoid the “wood” flavours to overtake them, to become too oaky. Once the wine has completed the ageing process, it is left in the bottle for an additional 18 months before being released.

The result is a red wine with a fruity nose, elegant and with a lively acidity, very smooth on the palate with soft tannins, where the Merlot is well evident, still retaining the structure of the Nebbiolo.

A very versatile red wine, it can pair a pasta dish as well as game or even a pizza

Ui Valtellina Superiore Riserva, Rivetti & Lauro
Another great wine from the Valtellina region, this DOCG Valtellina Superiore Riserva follows a different wine making process, here the grapes are partially left to dry.

Made with 100% Nebbiolo, manually harvested, very low yield, the grapes are partially left to dry before the wine is then aged in new French barriques and bigger barrels, tonneaux, and continue their maturation in the bottle for an additional 24 months before being released.

This is a great Valtellina wine, a red wine with a complex nose, with vanilla and dried grapes notes, in the palate is full, big, warm, velvety, with soft tannins and a lively acidity that give the wine potential to age.

Ui 298 Sassella Valtellina Superiore, Rivetti & Lauro
Another wine from the Valtellina region, this single vineyard DOCG Valtellina Superiore Sassella where Sassella is the name of the vineyeard and 228 is the land register number.

Made with 100% Nebbiolo, manually harvested, very low yield, the wine is aged in new French barriques and bigger barrels, tonneaux and then aged in the bottle for an additional 24 months before being released.

Even though this wine is very similar to the Valtellina Supeiore Inferno in the wine making process, still the result is very different. We often hear or read of the wine “terroir”and by tasting these two wines we can really appreciate what the different soil characteristics and microclimate due to the grape and wine.

The Valtellina Superiore Sassella is a more approachable red wine, still complex, elegant, delicate and smoother.

Ui 117 Valtellina Superiore Inferno, Rivetti & Lauro
Another wine from the Valtellina region, the single vineyard DOCG Valtellina Superiore Inferno (hell in Italian) where Inferno is the name of the vineyeard and 117 is the land register number.

Made with 100% Nebbiolo, manually harvested, very low yield, the wine is aged in new French barriques and bigger barrels, tonneaux and aged in the bottle for an additional 24 months before being released.

Even though this wine is very similar to the Valtellina Supeiore Sassella in the wine making process, still, the result is very different. We often hear or read of the wine “terroir”and by tasting these two wines we can really appreciate what the different soil characteristics and microclimate due to the grape and wine.

This is a great Valtellina wine, a red wine with a complex nose, with black cherry and vanilla notes, in the palate is full, smooth, velvety and ageing potential.

Sforzato della Valtellina Dell'Orco, Rivetti & Lauro
The Sforzato della Valtellina is a very little known, great, Italian red wine, even amongst Italians, due to its very limited production.

Sforzato, in Italian "forced", indicates that Nebbiolo grapes from the Valtellina are let drying for about 3 months after being harvested to eliminate any residual water and concentrate the fruit, to enhance its aromas and flavours. The process is very similar to the Amarone della Valpolicella or "appassimento, and compared to a normal Barolo, also made with 100% Nebbiolo grapes, the Sforzato della Valtellina has more fruit, softer tannins and higher acidity due to the Nebbiolo grapes being grown on the mountains of the Valtellina, north of Lombardy. The wine is then aged for 30 months in wood before being released.

We tasted this wine by chance at the Vinitaly, we were just walking around and decided to visit the booth of the producer, but after tasting it, we could not walk away from it.The Sforzato della Valtellina is a great red wine, full bodied, elegant, complex, plenty of fruit, smooth, and just to confirm that we have a nose for great wines, a few months after we started importing it, the wine was awarded Gold medal at the Decanter Wine Awards.

Enjoy on its own, sip by sip, or drink with some mature cheese

Lecia Rosso, Rivetti & Lauro
A fantastic dessert wine, passito, made with Nebbiolo grapes growth in vineyards located in the slopes of the Valtellina mountains.

The grapes are harvested and then dried, appassimento, to concentrate the fruit and enhance aromas and flavours, and then vinified. The result is a great red dessert wine, with a complex nose, fresh and structured on the palate, a perfect companion with cheeses or drunk on its own as a meditation wine

Anfora Rosso, Mazzeschi
There isn’t a universally accepted definition of natural wine, if you want to learn more about Natural wines you can read this blog post, but a wine is normally defined natural when the yeast used are natural.

To make a natural wine is not easy, natural wines are very delicate, they require the winery to be as clean as an operating theatre, and for that reason, there are plenty of faulty natural wines.

Following a totally natural approach of fermenting the grapes from organically managed vineyards in terracotta amphorae using natural yeasts, this great red wine offers plenty of fruit on the nose and an elegant palate, with a nice freshness, perfect for grilled meat, charcuteries and mature cheese.

The canaiolo grape is very often found in blends, the most famous is the Chianti, but rarely vinified on its own for many reasons, mainly because it is a difficult grape to handle and require plenty of attention and work. Gabriele has succeeded where many have failed.

Anfora Bianco, Mazzeschi
A great orange wine made with organic Vermentino grapes planted in the heart of Tuscany.

Vermentino is a fantastic grape that produces its best in only 3 Italian regions, Liguria, Tuscany and Sardinia, with each region producing a different style.

Here Gabriele for its Vermentino uses a totally natural approach, fermenting the grapes with their skins in terracotta amphorae using natural yeasts and the results is a great natural white wine, with plenty of freshness but more complexity, elegant, perfect for rich dishes, dishes with plenty of flavours from fish to pasta.
