Pears, stone fruit and citrus gives way to a creamy, nutty middle and fresh acidity to close.

A traditional Greek drink best combined with mezes.

When you ask Alessandro Gallici if he comes from a family of winemakers, he laughs gently at the notion – no, his father was a truck driver. However, he was born in Friuli and his family had a little bit of land and a few rows of vines that had been theirs for generations. They vinified the fruit in a shed just for their own consumption. Now, for a number of years he’s been president of an important local winery, but in 2010 he started up on his own. Made with grapes selected from top areas – Colli Orientali and Grave – this wine delivers delicate pear fruit and crisp minerally ‘zing’. Enjoy solo or match with salads, mushroom ravioli or creamy linguine.

Saracosa is inspired by the ‘Super Tuscans’ – a style first developed in the 1970s. These wines kickstarted the region’s renaissance and became some of the most exclusive and expensive in the world. Saracosa is from the Barbanera family estate, where half the vineyards are in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, and the remainder just beyond. In the 5-Star 2017 vintage Saracosa’s old vines delivered exceptional concentration. Dense, dark cherry and chocolatey tones make this a serious choice for pasta with pork ragù or bistecca alla fiorentina (steak with cannellini beans in tomato sauce).

Pale yellow colour. Aromas of rose petals, lemon blossom and citrus dominate the nose, while the palate is characterized by freshness due to the acidity, soft round texture and long aftertaste. An excellent aperitif wine. Goes well with seafood, fresh salads and pasta. It can be great companion to traditional Greek stews.

Ciao Bella wine has been created with a true Italian passion for perfection. Their superiore Prosecco Di Valdobbiadene is light and fresh, this Brut is perfect as an aperitif when celebrating with friends.

The colour is light ruby red with garnet reflections, it smells fine with scent of cherries, wild berry fruits, violet and spicy hints, dry and fresh, with good body and agreeable tannins and spicy hints in flavour. When young it is excellent with rich flavoured dishes, especially the traditional specialities of Tuscan cuisine.

Made in an extra dry style, this Prosecco has all the classic freshness and vibrancy you'd except from an authentic Italian Prosecco. An aperitif style with a very fine mousse, this is made from high quality vineyard fruit from the Treviso region.

Marks our words. Prosecco will be the next big thing, if it isn't already! Torresella's Prosecco is a fresh style showing characters of white fleshed fruits and fresh apple on the nose with a soft, crisp feel on the palate.
