     On the nose:  Delicate with notes of white flowers and Sambuca.

     On the palate:  Peach, Honeydew, Citrus Zest, Sweet Marjoram, and a subtle note of saltiness, with a bitter almond finish.

  • Verdeca Salento

    Verdeca Salento

    £11.75£70.50

    750ml Bottles

    Verdeca is a relatively rare white wine grape variety from southern Italy, now found almost exclusively in the Taranto and Bari provinces of central Puglia (it is easily confused with the similarly named Verdea, an equally rare variety from Tuscany). While it is typically used as a blending grape there are a handful of modern producers who are experimenting with varietal Verdeca wines in order to raise its profile – generally speaking, it is difficult to make a great wine from 100% Verdeca.

    On the nose: Its bouquet is surprisingly intense and fine with a scent of apricot, flowers and rosemary

    On the palate: its balance between freshness, sapidity and alcoholic tenor is perfect. Lovely and persistent, the citrusy and lightly balsamic final creates harmony to the taste

    Recommended combination with food: It pairs best with light risotto, buffalo mozzarella cheese, or more traditionally “pancotto” with vegetables, orecchiette with turnip greens, puccia with onions and even olives.

    Serve at 18°C

    VINTAGE: 2018
    GRAPE VARIETY – Verdeca
    PRODUCTION AREA – Puglia
    ALCOHOL – 13.0%

    Corvée was a French term used in the Middle-Ages to describe the activities and work of the Vassals, who would work on the land of superiors for free in return of shelter and protection. This is how 400 Km of terraced cultivations originated in Val di Cembria.

     On the nose:  The aroma is decisively floral and reminiscent of white flowers as well as fresh apple and pear.

     On the palate:  Apples and pears, with a striking tartness and well rounded acidity. Great body and hints of tropical fruits

     Recommended combination with food:  A great partner for:

    • Montasio cheese tart (“frico friulano”)
    • Thin-sliced octopus drizzled with sudachi
    • Prawns steamed in banana leaves

  • Zibibbo Normanno

    Zibibbo NORMANNO I.G.T.

    £14.50£87.00

    750ml Bottles

    The word “Zibibbo” is derived from the Arabic word ‘zabib’ meaning raisins. The wine was originally from Egypt and was introduced by the Phoenicians when they landed in Pantelleria, a tiny island situated between mainland Sicily and the northern tip of Africa. Over time, vines of Zibibbo were planted in mainland Sicily, namely in the famous area of Marsala for its very similar terrain and geometry. The grapes have similar aromatics to that of Moscato but are left on the vine until slightly shriveled (a sign of partial fermentation) and then are left to dry in the sun. The result is an elegant and harmonious dessert wine that is the ideal accompaniment for typical Sicilian cakes, especially those with a ricotta cream base.

    Recommended combination with food:

    • Sicilian cakes
    • Cream based desserts
    • Ice cream and fruit desserts

    Serve at 8° – 10°C

    GRAPE VARIETY –          Moscato d’Alexadria
    PRODUCTION AREA –   Sicily, Italy
    ALCOHOL –                       16.0%

  • Montefalco Grechetto DOC

    £14.99£89.99 inc. Vat

    From the famed Terre de la Custodia vineyard, this wine is steeped in history.  The original vines were planted by Franciscan monks, who kept the secrets of the wine making in their cloisters, where the name “Custodia” originates.  This fabulous wine oozes character and flavours.  Made from 100% Grechetto grapes, it is enhanced by a small amount of oak fermentation and malolactic fermentation, then undergoes further ageing on the lees to create a wonderful combination of fruit, butteriness and white stone fruit flavours.

    Pairing: a perfect match for truffles, spiced chicken and baked fish
