A tumble of fresh cut apples and pears with some lovely chamomile lift to the aromatics. Floral, fresh and pure fruited to have you eating up bowls of broccoli pasta with even more joy.

Ca'Rugate San Michele Soave Classico 2023

Alla Costiera Bianco Costiera 2023

Grown on limestone and clay before 3 months on lees for a pillowy expression that’s full of florals and kept fresh with some nectarine notes and a little spice. Any excuse to drink Soave is a good one. Enjoy with one and a half bowls of pasta broccoli.

Mainente Pigno Soave Classico 2023

In the piazza the other day, an elderly woman was selling dried flowers and black fruits. When she came near us, she smelt faintly of sweet earth and you could see the fruits had stained her fingertips. We were eating saffron risotto and drinking Valpolicella. Everything was perfect.

Roccolo Grassi Valpolicella Superiore 2017

Dusty cherries and an earthy, savoury finish that are good and robust thanks to some big tannin. The palate is all liquored and glacé cherries that wash deliciousness straight over your soul.

Valpantena Torre del Falasco Corvina 2022

This innocent Garganega has something that isn't innocent at all, texture. Soft, supple, a juicy weave that drapes like a divine gift meant to test us all. Refreshing and yet tempting. Pair with zucchini flowers.

Pasqua Soave 2023

Veneto’s a long way from Napoli but this is still perfect pizza wine. Corvina is native to Veneto where it’s the most-planted red grape, and in this blend, it’s full of sweet fruits and savoury tannin. Do you know how to make a vegetable quiche (tarta salada)? This is your time to shine with an epic pairing if so.

Domini Del Leone Veneto Rosso 2023

From the flat lands in Veneto comes a wine brimming with light, crisp and floral leaves. Think lifted jasmine and some zest with a savoury edge. It’s wines like these that are the reason the world loves northern Italian Grigio.

IL Vignaiolo Pinot Grigio 2023

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

All stainless fermentation makes for glasses of crunchy, bright raspberry and morello cherry, plus a raspy tannin and a bouquet garni. Crowd-pleasing doesn’t translate in Italian, but if it did it might be, piacere della folla – even nonna’s pronunciation gets better after a glass of Farina.

Farina Valpolicella 2020

Great value can come with big, ripe black cherries that are super pure and seem wrapped in sage leaves and that dusty Italian tannin we call think of when they say, contento.

Cantina Colli Morenici Valpolicella 2022

Very much a dry Prosecco, but one with a balanced bouquet of white florals. The palate is chalky and includes some lovely, refreshing green orchard fruit. Great with a handful of crisps, or some lobster tail linguine.

Rigoni Il Giusto Extra Dry Prosecco DOC NV

Comfort white wine to see us all through a balmy evening or to celebrate a rare, hot Autumn afternoon with ripe pear, apple and alpine herb flavours. Tastes great out of fancy glassware, but it’s really best out of a tumbler or a biodegradable cup in the park.

Pasqua Pinot Grigio 2022

A fruity & crisp fresh style with a pretty, delicate mouthfeel that is sure to please the crowd. Also one of the best sparkling labels we’ve seen for years! Great value!

Umberto Luigi Domenico Prosecco NV

And while we recommend drinking in moderation, he was under a lot of pressure at the time to be fair. Fluffy with citrus fruit, talcy with a chalky finish. Great Value!
