Matt Thomson PONTE PIETRA Pinot Grigio ROSATO Veneto from Italy, Veneto by Monteforte Monteforte d'Alpone (12 x 75 cl)

This Trebbiano/Garganega is lightly floral on the nose, with perfumes reminiscent of the almond blossom that characterises the best white wines from this region. The attractive crisp green apple fruit on the palate gives way to a fresh, zingy finish. The wine is made with fruit that is declassified from Soave DOC status. The fruit for this wine is grown on the slopes of vineyards situated next to the Soave zone in the Val d’Alpone. The vineyards have excellent south east exposure, with soils of volcanic origin. Monteforte director, Gaetano Tobin, known as Tano, is a great believer in using solely Garganega in his Soave, so the Trebbiano that his growers have is given IGT status. These wines are made by Matt Thomson, at the Cantina di Monteforte. Verona’s ‘Ponte Pietra’ dates back to Roman times. The vine, however, has been planted on the hills outside of Verona for much longer than this bridge has spanned the Adige River. This fresh, vibrant and easy drinking wine is firmly within this long tradition of Veronese viniculture. (12 x 75 cl)

The Merlot/Corvina has a lovely, vibrant colour and a ripe, fresh nose. The wine’s cherry blossom perfume, characteristic of great Corvina from Verona, mingles with a soft, blackberry fruit. Soft and attractive on the palate, it has sufficient weight to partner a wide range of pasta and rice dishes, particularly the risotto dishes for which this area is known.
