The Italians call it frizzante or light bubbles because of its softer effervescence and acidity. Martini & Rossi Prosecco is the perfect meal accompaniment or apertif. Its delicate and...
Considered the premier dry white wine of Italy, Principessa Gavia compares favorably with the world's noble wines. Superlative with a distinct personality, Principessa is fruity, fresh and crisp with a gentle acidity and balanced finish.

Neil Empson was the first to export Chardonnay from Italy in 1976, and launched Bollini Chardonnay in 1982. Small growers in the Trentino appellation supply fruit which is vinified by consulting oenologist Franco Bernabei, as are all the Trentino wines. Bollini Chardonnay Barricato 40, first released in 1997, is a neo...
Flavors of rich, ripe cherries and plums are enriched by the smooth, deep, well-structured background. A beautifully balanced wine with along, velvety finish.
Cantine Pellegrino was established in 1880 by Paolo Pellegrino in Marsala on the island of Sicily. The company, still family-owned, is the largest in the region today, with nearly 1,000 acres of vineyards. The grapes used for all the Pellegrino wines are indigenous (or brought by the earliest settlers) and are...

Barbera is one of our favorite grapes: lusty and full of character, with earth and dark fruit flavors pointed up with lively acidity. In the past few years, it’s gotten pretty fashionable, with some big guns ageing it in oak barriques, and going for a lot of extract and a high-polish...

Batasiolo Bosc da Rei Moscato D'Asti 2011
The vineyards this special product is grown on are located on the Beni di Boscareto estate in the village of Serralunga d’Alba. Moscato is a straw-yellow wine with golden highlights, an intense nose reminiscent of the grape, and a full, lingering, sweetly soft flavour with an aromatic aftertaste.
Nebbiolo is the most noble Italian grape, but it is finicky and as it requires just the right site it represents only 3% of Piedmont’s total production. Much like Pinot Noir it is sensitive to micro-climate and seems particularly suited to the expression of terroir. Of course Barolo and neighbouring Barbaresco...
Stella Rosa Bianco is a Moscato-based blend from the Piedmont region of Italy. Sweet but not overly sweet with just enough bubbles. Great as an aperitif or with light meals. Refreshing taste with a clean finish.
