Nec Otium, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia,
Drink now,
Nec Otium is a négociant operation that vinifies each wine in the winery of the grape grower, according to its personal winemaking philosophy. This decision was made to respect the provenance and the character of each wine. This Pinot Grigio is made at the Silvana Cerato cellar, in Colli Orientali del Friuli.
The colour is pale, the nose fruity and mineral. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks, followed by six months’ lees ageing that imparts additional weight and flesh to the final wine. No malolactic fermentation guarantees the vivacity and the purity of the fruit. Drink now.

Monte del Fra,
Drink now,
This Corvina-based blend comes from vineyards located in Sommacampagna, southeast of Lake Garda. Vivid yet delicate cherry-blossom pink in colour, it has a clean nose of red berry fruits, wild flowers and green apples, along with some subtle spicy notes. On the palate, the juicy sensation of fresh berries is fully revealed. The uplifting, youthful acidity makes it the perfect match for your aperitivo and can be drunk on its own or accompanied with summery Italian classics: prosciutto and melon, caprese salad or bruschette.

Trevisiol L. e Figli,
Drink now,
This wine is made for us by Paolo Trevisiol and his two sons in the heart of the Valdobbiadene cru. Paolo uses only his 40-year-old vines for our wine; grown at altitudes of up to 400 metres, they yield arguably the most flavoursome Prosecco in the region. Inviting and fresh on the nose, it is brimming with yellow plums, orange blossom and green apples. The palate is foaming, full and fruity, with a fresh alpine acidity typical of the best examples of Prosecco. Enjoy well-chilled.

Bele Casel, Veneto,
Drink now,
Bele Casel is an artisan Prosecco producer; family-run, their small 10-hectare estate lies in a fiercely protected subzone called Asolo, where a key limestone element gives the wines a fragrant white-peach character.
Prosecco is the perfect summer fizz, and this is an excellent example, with beautifully defined white peach and pear fruit, and a caressing rather than aggressive mousse. The Ferraro family make this wine in the classic “spumante” style, adding just enough cane sugar at the second fermentation stage to provide the bubbles and leave a well-judged 16g per litre of sugar (hence the “Extra Dry” rather than more austere “Brut” designation) that accentuates the fruit and acts as a foil to the natural acidity of the wine. Making a Bellini with this wine, whilst undoubtedly delicious, is almost a crime when it is so good “naked”.
A deliciously soft and spritely white flower and greengage-fruited Prosecco with perfectly interwoven 16g residual sugar, so finishing off-dry.

Masottina, Veneto,
Drink now,
Brilliantly clear, almost water-white with green flashes, the nose is lightly floral with gentle white-blossom notes, tightly wound with cool steel and green-apple zap. The palate is clean and mineral. Sour apple and ripe pear combine to create a lovely balance of ripeness and freshness, driven from this single vineyard of 60-year-old vines on glacial and chalky soils. Energetic and persistent in flavour, the foaming effervescence is balanced by a lick of sweet apple and a pleasing crescendo of saline minerality.

Marion, Veneto,
Ready, but will keep,
Always among our favourite Amarone, Marion’s fabulous example has hugely broad appeal. Complex aromas of mint and mocha compete for attention on the wonderfully-concentrated nose of this wine. Big and full-bodied on the palate, with notes of red and black berry-fruit alongside the mocha, this is a meal in itself, yet retains elegance and balance.
Marion is one of the most beautiful estates, just north of Verona on the site of a splendid 15th-century villa in the valley of Marcellise, once owned by the Conte Marioni, subsequently bought by the Campedelli family in 1986. Together with his wife, Nicoletta Fornasa, and brother Marco, Stefano started bottling in 1995; now the property has 22 hectares. Since 2006 they’ve been assisted by the talented Damiano Peroni. The estate lies just outside the Classico zone on predominantly chalk soils.

Giuseppe Quintarelli,
Ready, but will keep,
The 2006 Valpolicella Classico is a an attractive wine to drink now and over the next few years, as the flavors offer gorgeous complexity and nuance. Cedar, tobacco, smoke, worn-in leather and dried cherries are all laced together in the glass in a powerful Valpolicella loaded with class and personality. Firm tannins convey a decidedly old-school sense of structure. Drink 2015-2021 91/100

Monte dei Ragni,
Ready, but will keep,
Monte dei Ragni is a tiny jewel of a Valpolicella wine estate perched at between 250 and 350 metres above sea-level on the vertiginous slopes above Fumane, at the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone. Only 1,200 bottles of their Amarone are produced.
What a joy to be able to offer this quintessential Amarone from the stupendo 2008 vintage. As we know from the rest of northern Italy, 2008 was a classic year, abundant, but without the extra charge visible in 2010. This one’s so together, so harmonious, with distinct black cherry notes. It’s already open and seductive, freshness coupled with forest fruit and dates.

Marion, Veneto,
Ready, but will keep,
Stefano’s desire to produce an Amarone with more freshness is clear in this elegant, yet full-bodied wine. Aromas reminiscent of stewed, sweet plums and wild herbs are supported by chocolate and roasted coffee. The mouth-feel is silky in texture and the weight of fruit buffers the tannins. Excellent balance.
Drink from 2016-2035.

Monte dei Ragni,
Ready, but will improve,
Monte dei Ragni is a tiny jewel of a Valpolicella wine estate perched at between 250 and 350 metres above sea-level on the vertiginous slopes above Fumane, at the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone. Only 1,200 bottles of their Amarone are produced.
As with Monte dei Ragni’s Ripasso, the production of this classically proportioned Amarone is very limited (only around 1,900 bottles were made). The fruit is bright and intense on the nose and palate, with plum pudding and mocha richness layered with dried figs and macerated cherry. The mid-palate is plump and the finish is generous. Drink now to 2027.

Giuseppe Quintarelli,
Ready, but will keep,
Quintarelli, the Genius from the Veneto makes Vapolicella Amarone of artisanal, and internationally acclaimed status, legendary for its richness, complexity, vigour and longevity. Produced in very limited quantities, it oozes with fruit purity, and aromas of licorice, truffles and cured meat. Fabulously concentrated, showing layers of spiced fruits and cedar flavours, this is a powerful wine, from a great vintage that it is still infant in terms of its hugely-promising development potential.

Marion, Veneto,
Ready, but will keep,
Made using mostly guyot-trellised fruit that’s been partially dried until the first week of December 2010, Marion’s Amarone is comprised of fresh dark brambly fruit, plus plenty of oak and coffee notes. Slender, fleshy, sapid and yet at the same time round red fruit (residual sugar level: 7), this dry wine is very one for main dishes.

Corte Sant'Alda, Veneto,
Ready, but will keep,
Marinella's finest wine, drawn predominantly from the single 'Macie' vineyard, fermented in large oak and aged for three years in 1500 litre french oak, the stunning 2004 shows both richness as well as precision. The nose evokes a rich brew of rum and raisin chocolate, and of herbs, while the palate is stunningly pure as well as decadent, seductively textured, finely wrapped for another 10 years ageing, so best drunk from 2010 till 2020. Try with goose.
(David Berry Green)
A beguiling nose of baked brioche and dried fruits (freshly made rum babas come to mind.) An impressive, rich palate follows brimming with notes of fennel, liquorice, prunes and bitter chocolate. A simply delightful, lingering finish dominated by smoky morello cherry and sweet cinnamon spice. Try it with a rare venison steak at dinner and you’ll sleep very well.

Monte dei Ragni,
Drink now,
Zeno Zignoli spent eight years researching the tiny 2ha estate based above Fumane at 250/300 mas before bottling his first wine in 2003. Beautifully hand-made, the lacy textures and pure berry flavours at one with the tonneau remind me of Quintarelli. Only a couple of hundred cases made.
