Make your life just a little better! Picked from vineyards within Langhe before being split to ferment in large format oak and stainless steel. Glasses are full of forestal Nebbiolo fruit married to freshness of tannin and acid. We love what Nadia’s doing. Grazie.

Nadia Curto Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

A mix of young Nebb from Barolo vines and a nice share of Dolcetto come together for a lively palate of roses, herbs and earthiness that are all propped up with cranberry. Message a mate as you’re leaving the shop, dust off the decanter, and get ready for a perfect evening.

Nadia Curto L’informale Nebbiolo Dolcetto blend 2022

Rota 27 Lambrusco NV

Okay, the profile has a salty, chalky grip and apple blossoms that bloom at pretty much any time of day you feel is appropriate for Grigio.

Domini Del Leonne Pinot Grigio 2023

Seems to take what we love about Italian Vermentino, Grigio and Chardonnay to some divine place. Drinks with ripe, fleshy stone fruit and a little aniseed sweep that lengthens everything.

Orsumella Chianti Classico 2021

Drink it from a Gabriel Glas to feel a little fancier on your not-so-Juliette balcony that looks east at the beautiful Dandenongs. If the flavours still matter… cherries with chewy but velvety tannins.

Querceto IGT 2022

Parlante is speaking in Italian, but they could’ve gone with canto (singing), because that is what it can do if you line up everything – a cooler, ice, glasses, a friend or two, and a rug for the park.

Fondo Antico Grillo Parlante 2022

Bursting with citrus zest and a nice dose of salty grapefruit snap, think lemon shortbread while you sip.

Cantina Furlani Vino Alpino Frizzante 2020

From the west coast of Sicily, this is full of a salty crunch and a little bosc pear. It’d be perfect with crudo, vongole, or fish n chips even. Fermented in stainless steel fresh, zesty and textural from start to empty. Only in Sicily.

Cantine Petrosino Grillo 2023

Very much on the bright side for Sangiovese, complete with all the black and red cherries, and a lot of dusty tannins. Some wines are just honest in the best way and taste and behave, true to style. Pair it with any Tuscan specialty at lunch – Pappardelle with pork.

Sagona Gattorosso Sangiovese Blend 2022

Veneto Prosecco that’s straight down the line, complete with a good amount of fruit and a dry finish. Naturally, it’s full of lemon sherbert and some stone fruit. You might want to stock up and take one this weekend, and another to your mate’s for dinner next week and have one on hand for when so-and-so come for the kids’ playdate next weekend.

Castelnuovo Prosecco Extra Dry NV

Just over the region line, past Lago di Garda, where the mountains really start to scrape the sky, Cantina d'Isera sits on the flatlands between the river and the Autostrada. It’s an amazing part of the world and this has all the lovely, rich texture running alongside some big, but friendly fruits flavours. Would be amazing with rabbit polenta – Dolomiti dot i.t. has a great recipe.

Cantina d Isera Marzemino 2018

A very well regarded bottle in Brunello with a proper structure and traditional style. If it's a super wine from Tuscany, does that make it a Super Tuscan? Maybe not, but it'll give you red cherry-skinned smiles after all sips and a lasting tannin. It's wine like these that made the Tuscan wine store owners upset when I went in and asked for Barolo.

La Magia Il Vispo Sangiovese 2022

From the dusty tannins and ripe acidity that are the core of the profile to the lifting aromatics and unique, alpine freshness and minerality that seems to come through with just a smidge of mint. This is delicious vino to elevate your meal, or company.
