Summer is Fun! Wine is Fun!

Anna’s Secret Rosato Maremma D.O.C

A wine displaying an elegant, light pink hue with coral nuances and lively, brilliant reflexes. The intense and inviting aromas are of summer fruit, the palate is dry, fresh and fragrant, with a sapid minerality ensuring a pleasant equilibrium. This rosato is an extremely versatile wine, superb as an aperitif while pairing well with spicy, full-flavoured dishes. Anna’s Secret: a very attractive, festive wine that pairs extremely well with good times.

Marrone Langhe Doc Arneis “Tre Fie” D.O.C

Jancis Robinson MW describes this wine as being; “Plump, peachy and a touch of hazelnut on the nose. Creamy, full-bodied sweetness with a strong line of fresh liquorice, in a way that reminds me of celeriac and the white crispness of freshly chopped fennel bulb. And yet it’s not herbal. It’s languid with angles, sweet fruit with bitter bones, ripe peach and noyaux. Contradictory, unexpected, delicious. I could see this working as happily with a roast root-veg winter salad in a tarragon dressing as it would with a fish pie or a fresh kohlrabi slaw”.

Michel Lynch Bordeaux Blanc AOC Bordeaux

With its pale, brilliant colour and its aromas of citrus, white blossom and pineapple typical of the sauvignon blanc grape variety, Michel Lynch Blanc boasts a surprisingly succulent and full-bodied attack on the palate. A structure stemming from the blending of white grapes from the Graves and Entre-Deux-Mers area to the south of Bordeaux, and from low- temperature vinification in oak barrels. Michel Lynch Blanc should be drunk cool (around 12°C) as an aperitif or as the ideal accompaniment to seafood or white meats.

Fresco di Masi Rosso Verona IGT Biologico

Fresco di Masi Rosso forms part of a new line of handcrafted organic wines, with a low alcohol content and authentic flavour profile. Made from Corvina and Merlot grapes harvested at the coolest time of day and immediately vinified, Fresco di Masi Rosso has a strong fragrance and attractive aromas of fresh fruit on the nose: from pomegranates to blackcurrants to the typical hints of cherries that make the wine so identifiably Veronese in origin. Excellent as an aperitif and with the simple foods of Mediterranean cuisine such as pasta, vegetarian dishes, salumi and cheeses. Vegan-friendly.

Pieropan Soave Classico D.O.C

Described as the liveliest and most youthful style from Soave Classico, the Pieropan family has been producing this wine since the early 1900’s. Generous, pleasingly fresh and versatile, it is made from the traditional varieties of Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grown in family-owned vineyards situated in the Soave Classico zone. Its organic vines thrive in volcanic soils situated at 100-300 m above sea level, facing west. This fine wine shows a yellow colour with greenish hints. Its delicate nose is reminiscent of almond blossoms and marzipan while its palate reveals good depth of fruit, nicely balanced by a zingy acidity that enhances its long length.

Talamonti Aternum Trebbiano D’Abruzzo Riserva D.O.C

This Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is produced from select vineyards located near the village of Loreto Aprutino in an area known for its stony, calcareous terrain at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level. Following a selective hand harvest in mid- September, fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats for 12 days at 16-18°C. The wine is then aged for seven months in 300 litre French oak barrels (30%) and stainless steel (70%) with repeated batonnage before bottling. Enjoy a brilliant wine showing golden straw hues underlined by apple and citrus notes, elegantly framed by oak spices with complex citrus notes and pleasant acidity.
