Cantine Pra Soave Classico 'Otto' DOC
The wine has an attractive lemon colour and a bouquet bursting with notes of flowers and crisp fruit. Aromas of hawthorn and jasmine are particularly prominent, as are exotic yellow and white fruits such as peach and apricots. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and flavoursome, full of fruit, with clear mineral notes. The wine is easy drinking and has an aftertaste of hazelnuts and nutshells. 100% Garganega, from 30-60 year old vines. The grapes are pressed softly before undergoing fermentation at 16 - 18 degrees C. The wine is fermented and matured in stainless steel vats. Located in the heart of the Soave Classico DOC near Verona, Cantine Pra is run by brothers Sergio and Graziano Pra, the former tending the estates 25 hectares of vineyards and the latter in charge of the cantine. The Pra range of wines are considered to be one of the benchmarks for the region including the Soave Classico, an un-oaked Soave Classico Superiore, Monte Grande, the barrique aged Soave Classico Colle Sant' Antonio and a stunning Recioto di Soave Classico. A producer that is totally in tune with their terroir and what the varieties Garganega and Trebbiano are capable of delivering in the glass.
Cipriani White Peach Bellini
From the world famous Harry’s Bar in Venice, the original Bellini. Since its inception the peach Bellini is made with only the best white peach puree, whose smooth texture combines with sparkling white wine to conceive a joyous cocktail that celebrates life! From the very first sip the palate is delighted by a lively sparkle that brings out the sweetness of the peach puree, which in turn balances the slight tart note of the sparkling wine, the pink hue is the same as the cocktail served at Harry’s Bar. The peach puree and sparkling wine combination complete each other harmoniously, no other aromas or flavors are required!
Porta Dante Prosecco
Porta Dante Prosecco has a bright straw yellow hue and lingering streams of tiny bubbles usher in subtle aromatics of white flowers with apple and peach-like white-fleshed fruits. Stimulating freshness on the full-bodied, elegant palate brings out the long lingering suite of subtly nuanced aromatics. Softness of texture and fragrant aromatics have earned this wine admirers both as an aperitif and as a partner for spicy, flavour-rich starters. Outstanding served with crustacean salads or vegetable-based dishes.

Bolla Retro Soave Classico DOC
Bolla revives an icon of Italian wine history, with the 1950s vintage bottle and label for a new Soave Classico with a contemporary feel, inspired by the belief that wine traditions must be upheld. Garganega (100%) from vineyards identified over sixty vintages on Soave Classico hills, is the responsible variety here. These heirloom vines give strong berries with a hard skin, rich in aromas. These features mean the wine delivers floral and balsamic notes. On the palate its round with a rich texture, notes of candied fruit and yellow plum. Intense and persistent.
