Roccolo Grassi Valpolicella Superiore 2016

Red Blend | Veneto, Italy

This is exceptional! Balanced, fresh and dry. The development and layering are very good. Epic complexity, a translucence yet depth of flavour. Earthy, savoury, intriguing. In a world where Valpol’s are often sweet up front almost primary in fruit character this has built-in personality and excellent mouthfeel with fine long tannins combined with acid tension and freshness. Divine flow and shape. Woody herbs around the edges. I'd have to say this is one of the most enjoyable Valpolicella Su

Roccolo Grassi Amarone della Valpolicella 2016

Red Blend | Veneto, Italy

Incredible depth and layering of flavour. While it has the richness and intensity of Amarone it doesn’t have any jammy or sweet notes of lesser Amarone. Beautifully dry with fine acid tension, married to a dusting of equally fine tannins and a lucious fruit feel with a good hit of glycerol at play. Great intrigue, brooding, draws you in. Violets, blood orange, dried citrus peel on a core of dark fruits & chocolate. As it opens in the glass it comes together & alcohol falls into place.

Pieropan Soave Classico 2022

White Blend | Veneto, Italy

Excellent classico with great mid-palate weight, full yet fresh. Fine acid, pear and fresh marmalade / mandarin at play. Pith, a beautiful silvery line of bitterness. Love the salty twist! A thirst-quency delight! The organic Pieropan 2022 Soave Classico (in a screw-cap bottle) is beautifully fresh and balanced with citrus, white peach and crushed stone. The aromatic assembly is simple, but that's exactly what attracts you to a wine like this (made with 85% Garganega and 15% Trebbiano

Gini Soave Classico 2022

Garganega | Veneto, Italy

Fresh crisp, lovely core of fruit. Line of acid with strong textural intrigue. Very fine line of silvery bitterness, excellent development in the context of the style. Spice baking at play with good drive to finish. Fun wine. Great expression. A Soave of importance at this level. "The 2021 Soave Classico is remarkably pretty with yellow flowers, wet stone and freshly sliced pear. This is mineral and focused upon entry, with perfume orchard fruits and a saly flourish that returns toward th

Gini Soave ‘La Froscà’ 2015

Garganega | Veneto, Italy

A more typical Soave style than the Salvarenza, beautifully built on a frame of quality fruit. Pear and citrus are cleansed by a very typical and lovely silvery line of bitterness. Long with a lovely mid-palate. A great mid-palate is a sign of a good wine!

Pieropan Soave ‘Calvarino’ 2021

White Blend | Veneto, Italy

The name 'Calvarino' translates to 'small ordeal'. Andrea Pieropan told us it was named after the hill Jesus was crucified on reflecting how difficult the soil is to work and the tortuous path which winds from top to bottom. The 2021 is the 50th Anniversary release & it is an excellent Calvarino. Vibrant and energetic with a perfume of white flowers and an excellent core of fruit. Thirst quenching. Well developed, no puppy fat here. Long and fine with a savoury twist. Chalky with a fine l

Pieropan Soave ‘La Rocca’ 2019

White Blend | Veneto, Italy

Given the full beans, barrel fermentation & maturation, the fruit from this site just laps it up This is stunning. Balancing freshness and energy with cask ageing. Richness with fine acid, incredible complexity that builds in the glass. Tasting this wine, I find it giving me as much pleasure as white burgundy at three times the price! It caresses your tongue, finishing with incredible length.

Gini Soave ‘Contrada Salvarenza’ Vecchie Vigne 2016

Garganega | Soave, Italy

A unique Soave, this wine along with Il Corincino's Verdicchio 'Gaiospino' was one of the first two wines that sparked my interest in Italian wine. It's a rich, textural interpretation of Soave, with great harmony, hints of spice, lovely phenolics (giving texture) and length. The age of the vineyards is reflected in the depth of fruit. FYI - Vecchie Vigne means 'Old Vines' and these are pre-phylloxera from a sandy sub-plot of the La Foscà vineyard. "The 2016 Soave Classico Contrada Salv

Garganega | Soave, Italy

A unique Soave, this wine along with Il Corincino's Verdicchio 'Gaiospino' was one of the first two wines that sparked my interest in Italian wine. Looking very good. Energetic yet beautifully developed. Layered complex, lovely textural, bit of barrel & lees time. Full luscious. Baking spice. Brooding at the moment.

Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico 2017

Red Blend | Valpolicella, Italy

A wine of great stylistic precision and harmony. The controlled drying of the harvested grapes which lasts for a hundred days produces the great aromatic intensity of dark fruit and undergrowth that we find in this Amarone 2017. The impact on the palate is powerful and vigorous and then the wine gradually tapers through the […]

Pieropan Soave C5 ‘Vini dell Anima’

White Blend | Veneto, Italy

A remarkable wine 15 years in the making! Calvarino 5 is the first wine of the "Vini dell'Anima" collection. Born from a project by Leonildo Pieropan and his sons Dario and Andrea, it is a blend of five Calvarino vintages (2008-2009-2010-2011-2012) aged for at least 10 years in large cement tanks on lees in the cellar. Ageing this way in Pieropan's cool cellars is slow and controlled. This is a fascinating wine highlighting the incredible results blending across vintages can deliver. Cool
