Tamellini Winery VIGNA MAROGNE Recioto di Soave DOCG
Description: Although the Tamellini winery was only established in 1998 the family has been making wine in the region for over one hundred years. The property embraces some 15 hectares of vineyards and all the grapes used to make the various Soaves, including the Recioto, are aged in stainless steel. Only the finest, often smallest, most intense grapes are destined for this Recioto. The grapes are picked in September and dried until March before pressing and fermentation. The result is an amazing sweet wine whose complexity and grandeur make it reminiscent of great Sauternes. The old gold in the glass introduces sweet dried fruit and cake aromas that are perfectly reflected on the palate, where the lively sweetness is kept in line by a striking vein of acidity that veers between lime, grapefruit and tangerine. Very fine with a silk texture and exquisite balance, this is deeply impressive. Available in 50 cl bottles. (12 x 50 cl) Price: £273.38

Pieropan LE COLOMBARE Recioto di Soave Classico Veneto
Description: The Le Colombare is made solely from Garganega grapes that have been dried on straw mats for about five months following the harvest. Its rich luscious fruit has flavours of almonds and hazelnuts that linger for ages on the palate. This 30-hectare estate is situated in the heart of the Soave Classico zone in the Veneto, north eastern Italy. Founded by Leonildo Pieropan in 1890 and subsequently run by his two sons, Fausto and Gustavo, it was the youthful enthusiasm of his grandson Leonildo, known as Nino, that revolutionised it. Pieropan attaches enormous importance to his vineyards as a source of the high quality fruit that characterises his wines. After taking over the estate, he acquired crus such as Pigno, Palestrello, La Santa and took pains to expand the existing vineyards of Calvarino and La Rocca. The vineyards are planted primarily with Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave. Pieropan believes that excellence derives from assiduous attention to detail 'from the moment you pick up the secateurs, to the time the cork goes into the bottle'. The results of this philosophy are evident in his immaculate winery, carefully tended vineyards and outstanding wines. Available in 1.5 Litre Magnum bottles. (3 x 1.5 Litres) Price: £162.18

Anselmi SAN VINCENZO IGT Veneto
Description: The Anselmi winery was founded in 1948 by Roberto Anselmi's father. A native of the area, Roberto Anselmi felt an emotional as well as professional commitment to tapping the unrealized potential of the wine he grew up with. Over the past decade, he has been quietly revolutionizing the way Anselmi Soave is made and marketed, transforming it from a pleasant, easy-drinking wine into a premium white that has been favorably compared to fine, French Chablis. In 2000 Roberto Anselmi, feeling that Soave's DOC laws promote over-production and mediocre quality, made the bold decision to produce his wines outside of the Soave Appellation. This wine shows an ample bouquet of apple and lemon blossoms, lively acidity, medium body and superb flavor, finesse and finish. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £157.22
