North East Italy

More interesting than most basic PGs!

Lightly tinted Pinot Grigio with a touch of Pinot Noir - from the Pavia region south of Milan.

Classic Pinot Grigio from selected vineyards in the Veneto - giving extra weight and fruit.

NOTE: THIS IS A HALF BOTTLE (37.5cl) Fabulously perfumed stuff, and possibly the very best Soave Clsssico in existence. The reason lies both in the vineyards, which are vigorously maintained, and the rigorous fruit selection of the bought-in grapes. The wine is rich and balanced and with a searing flavour sadly absent from most modern Soave.

Dark ruby red in colour, full plummy palate with herbal notes and a light finish with a charming softness.

NOTE: THIS IS A HALF BOTTLE (37.5cl) This Valpolicella from the hills of the Classico area is a delicious example of the wine this area is famous for. Corvina expresses its vibrant and quaffable character with fresh and bright cherry flavours.

A blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from low-yielding vineyards in Verona. Half of the Corvina grapes are left on the vine for longer, to concentrate the sugar and flavour. About 30% of the blend is aged for 12 months in American and French barriques. The nose shows complex aromas, reminiscent of prune, cherry and redcurrant; the palate is supple with a long finish.

Aroma of hazelnuts with scents of almond and fragrant dried flowers. The palate is elegant, full, smooth with roasted almonds and walnuts with a dry and silky finish

A classic, youthful Valpolicella with approachable ripe cherry fruit and a rounded, gently spicy character from six months ageing in large oak casks.

Light, bright lemon in colour with a lively, freshly cut pear and baked bread character on the nose. Good structure and body, it has lovely elegance on the palate with ripe pears, a touch of sherbet.

The Lagrein grape is indigenous to Trentino and thought to be related to Syrah. It makes great food wine, combining vibrant bitter cherry and plum fruit with darker, spicier notes. The 2019 vintage Bottega Vinai was awarded 3 'Harpers Wine Stars' in 2022, including the overall 'Star of Italy'!

A tasty drop of bitter cherries and rounded tannins - sumptuous!This is the perfect accompaniment to Italian antipasti, soups, pasta dishes and to the wide variety of dishes that the Mediterranean area has to offer. Valpolicella also compliments roasted and grilled white meats. It is also an ideal summer red to drink with fish dishes. Serve at 16 C (61 F)and open the bottle a few minutes before drinking.

Il Gruccione Lugana is exceptionally well balanced with a beautiful texture, subtle richness and good minerality. Unoaked.

Painstakingly assembled Soave - aspects of spice, nuts, honey and almonds. Wonderful.

The Capitel della Crosara vineyard lies in the heart of the Valpolicella region and gives its name to Montresor's top Amarone and Ripassso. This is an excellent example with bright, fresh cherry fruit.

Allegrini’s take on the “Ripasso” method is made from a portion of grapes dried just for this wine (and not from the Amarone pomace). It's a smooth, velvety wine with ripe, juicy dark fruit and silky tannins.

The wine has a lovely and intense dark garnet colour. It exudes aromas and flavours of black cherries, chocolate, coffee, and raisins, along with a note of almonds. Despite a formidable structure, the palate is velvety, spicy and elegant, with an extremely long and lingering finish.

Accessible and delicious example of a modern style of Amarone in a distinctive black frosted bottle.

The soil of La Rocca is unique in Soave being a limestone outcrop in a sea of basalt. Single vineyard made solely from Garganega grapes, this has pure aromas of almonds and honey, with an intense, concentrated palate.

Amarone is the result of Allegrini’s skill in creating a modern wine with a strong connection to tradition. Sourced from Classico area hillside vineyards, grapes are dried for a rich, powerful wine with characteristic dried cherry aromas and a tremendous structure.

La Poja covers 2.6 hectares at the top of La Grola. It is a rare plot of limestone, rich in iron and magnesium. Giovanni Allegrini decided immediately that this was going to be his top cru, made from 100% Corvina.

NOTE: THIS IS A SINGLE SERVE BOTTLE (20cl) A fresh and dry sparkling rose with persistent white foam, beautifully cherry pink in colour. Red berry characters on the nose and palate make this soft and approachable in character.

Light and creamy Prosecco - great with or without food (and now pocket-sized too!)

An appealing and very approachable Prosecco!

Golden yellow in colour, intense and persistent nose, floral and fruity, reminiscent of raisin grapes, plus a sweet note of honey and acacia, with an intense and persistent, mellow and elegant palate.
