Allegrini LA GROLA IGT Veneto
Description: This is a very good wine at this price, made using Valpolicella grapes grown on one of the best, south-east facing slopes in the Classico district, but bearing no resemblance to the light, juicy red stuff usually associated with that wine name. Full-bodied and spicy, La Grola is well worth laying down for five years or more, especially in this magnum format, to reap the full reward of its opulent fruit. (6 x 1.5 Litres)

Marques de Riscal RESERVA Rioja
Description: Despite difficult wet weather conditions during May and August, high temperatures during September and October enabled excellent ripening. The resultant wine has been aged in American oak casks for 24 months to create an aroma with a fresh and lively combination of toasted oak and dried fruits, and a rich yet elegant taste. This vintage will drink earlier than the previous three, although the good acidity and firm tannins will allow for further development of the wine in bottle. (24 x 37.5 cl)
Price: £215.90

Terre da Vino ESSENZE Barolo DOCG
Description: Matured in oak for 24 months this classic ruby tending to garnet coloured Barolo has an intense and remarkably complex aroma, exhibiting generous nuances of violets, tar, and vanilla. On the palate it is dry, generous, and warm, with impressive body and texture through to a long-lingering finish. Barolo DOCG Essenze is a Barolo blend of the finest pedigree. Beginning in 2001, with the inauguration of Terre da Vino’s first winemaking facility in Barolo, they started producing small lots of cru-grown Barolos from prestigious vineyards, in particular from La Volta in Barolo, Ravera in Novello, Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto, Bussia in Monforte, Gianetto in Serralunga, an Annunziata in La Morra. Once the fruit is in the winery it follows the traditional local winemaking practice of blending together various separate lots to compose a Barolo. Despite utilising traditional winemaking practices, the house style is evident, which emphasises full-bodied wines with emphatic fruit, and optimal equilibrium among all of the components of this well made wine.

Poderi Colla DARDI le ROSE Barola Bussia Piemonte
Description: Typically Nebbiolo in color, in its finest and fullest expression: intense, faceted ruby red with subtly lighter hues. The impact is immediately appealing, with a very complex bouquet showing decided character and personality, albeit without aggressiveness. Mineral and animal notes enrich its structure and layered complexity, characteristic of the Bussia cru; the ensemble is comparable to the intricate power of an orchestra. On the palate, this unique symphony plays on. Traditionally named The Wine of Kings (3 x 1.5 Litres)
