A delicate nose of ripe stone fruit, lightly honeyed with a hint of creamy oak. The complex palate is concentrated and well-balanced with ripe peach characters, an appealing mouthfeel and a fresh, long finish with some savoury, toasty notes.

This straw-yellow wine is aromatic on the nose, with elegant exotic fruit and toasted almond flavours. On the palate it is delicate, mineral and full-bodied, with a pleasant and persistent finish.

Lightly tropical aromas with hints of citrus fruit and honeysuckle. Ripe lemon and apple characters, hints of pineapple and candied peel, and notes of white spice on the finish. Fresh and juicy with appealing minerality.

Fresh zesty nose with apricot and orchard fruit aromas, and a hint of white flower and citrus. The palate has minerality and texture with ripe stone fruit and grapefruit characters, refreshing lemon citrus acidity, a touch of salinity, and a crisp finish.

An excellent example of good quality Soave Classico, fresh and lightly fruity with delicate floral aromas of honeysuckle, elderflower and a hint of spice. Crisp and refreshing on the palate with good depth of ripe honeyed fruit, and a dry, lightly nutty finish.

A fine, delicate dry white with classic Riesling aromas of lime, petrol and a touch of lemongrass. The palate has citrus and stone fruit characters, with mineral notes adding complexity to the finish.

Produced from vines grown on South East and West facing slopes, with 12 months in new and old French oak barriques, this wine displays black fruit and cherries with gentle smoky oak. Fantastic value!

This Montepulciano dAbruzzo shows an intense, fruity bouquet with aromas of plum and marasca cherries alongside hints of vanilla. The palate is full yet well balanced with lovely ripe dark red fruits and soft tannins.

Pecorino is a grape variety that is gaining fast recognition and popularity, especially in Abruzzo. Full of distinct white stone fruit, peach with citrus balance and fresh acidity. Great as an aperitif or with light food.

The Pinot Nero shows just what can be achieved with the cool nights (thanks to altitude) here. The wine has good colour and an appealing cherry perfume, decent depth on the palate and good length. It puts many a Bourgogne Pinot Noir to shame.
