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,
A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Glera, this fizz has an attractive red-fruit perfume of strawberries and redcurrants. While not technically a Prosecco, due to the use of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this is a fresh and clean rosé which would make the perfect sparkling apéritif for a summer’s day.

Masottina, Veneto,
Drink now,
Located in Prosecco’s Conegliano region of the Veneto lie the 60 hectares of Masottina’s vineyards. Owned by the Dal Bianco family since 1946, they switched from being a négociant to vineyard owner in the 1960s. They produce a classic expression of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco.
With fine, persistent bubbles, this is pale straw yellow with greenish highlights. The nose is intense, fruity with the rich scent of apple, lemon and grapefruit. It has a pronounced aroma of wisteria in bloom and acacia flowers. The palate has a pleasant acidity and fresh flavour. Full-bodied, and lingering, a soft finish rounds off this crowd-pleasing Prosecco.

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.

Trevisiol L. e Figli,
Drink now,
Based in the heart of the historic Prosecco region of Valdobbiadene, the Trevisiol family has been producing sparkling wines from the native Glera grape since 1898. This is a classic, Extra Dry style using fruit from 50-year-old vines grown on steep slopes in Valdobbiadene. A short fermentation time and minimal aging allow the fruit quality to shine through, delivering a wonderfully lively and vibrant wine full of fresh pear and blossoms. It’s a brilliantly moreish apéritif for any occasion.

Masottina, Veneto,
Drink now,
The pinnacle of Masottina’s production, Le Rive refers to the best vineyard in the town of Ogliano in the Valdobbiadene region of Prosecco. Here the soil is formed from remnants of an ancient glacial flow and is full of minerals. This is the very finest expression of Glera, the variety used in Prosecco: a bright, fresh and elegant wine with additional savoury notes from extended lees ageing. Fresh pear fruit, great concentration and very fine bubbles show really how good quality Prosecco can be. Ready to drink now.

Trevisiol L. e Figli,
Drink now,
This finely crafted wine comes from Paolo’s vineyards in the iconic hamlet of Ogliano in Conegliano. Like the classic Valdobbiadene style, it is Extra Dry in style (between 12 and 17 g/l residual sugar), but the fermentation for this cuvée is longer, followed by three months’ aging developing more complex flavours. The nose is finely tuned with notes of green apple, flowers and perfume. The palate is robust and complex with peach, nectarine and a hint of fresh hazelnuts. Always a beautiful apéritif, it is also a fantastic partner for sushi and sashimi.

Monte dei Ragni,
Ready, but will keep,
The 2014 vintage was not without its challenges – with plenty of rain throughout the year and particularly at harvest time. But Zeno at Monte del Ragni held his nerve and harvested perfectly ripe fruit very late. He chose not to make any Amarone in 2014, meaning much of the fruit originally used for his top cuvée went into this particularly fine Valpolicella Superiore. Dark garnet in colour, the wine is brimming with dark cherry, kirsch and spice notes. The palate is wonderfully fresh and complex, with dark cherry compôte layered with savoury hints of meat, wood-spice and forest floor. Delicious.
Drink now to 2025.

Allegrini,
Ready, but will keep,
Fantastic Amarone styled wine from the tiny La Poja vineyard. Simply very special.
The Allegrini family have been in the Valpolicella Classico region since the 16th century, and to this day make some of the best examples, producing wines of richness, charm and great personality. The late Giovanni Allegrini became the driving force of the company, the estate is now in the very capable and safe hands of his daughter Marilisa and son, Franco.
Monica Larner of the Wine Advocate says: “The Allegrini renaissance continues with this strong set of new releases from one of my favorite producers in Valpolicella.”
Allegrini's winemaking philosophy is largely based on the concept of ‘cru’ production: single vineyards dedicated to the production of local varieties which produce a single wine. The wines from this cru method have been a success worldwide. Palazzo della Torre and La Poja have set some of the highest benchmarks for Valpolicella's wines.
The style of wine produced at the estate is, as you would expect from an Amarone producer, rich, opulent and expertly showing the soft and supple side of the wines of Veneto.

Monte dei Ragni,
Ready, but will keep,
Only 1,880 bottles were made of this immense but true, dark-cherry, garnet gem. The profound nose is layered with notes of pomegranate, loganberry, tamarind, fig, over-ripe cherries, dates, and dried herbs. The full, dry palate swells with chocolate, date and dundee cake: it's succulent, fleshy, decadent, yet with a light touch and sense of humbleness.
Zeno Zignoli does everything himself, from ploughing the vineyards with a couple of horses to making the wine, helped by his boys Tommaso and Leonardo, and wife Antonella. The wines are traditionally-made, from fruit grown on the white, calcareous, Lessiniastone soils that characterise the Fumane terraces, trellised largely on high pergola

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.
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.

Marion, Veneto,
Ready, but will keep,
Weighing in at 15.5% alcohol, 41 grams of dry extract (a lot) and with 7.6 grams/litre of residual sugar (offsetting the impact of the alcohol percentage), refreshed by the chalky white stony soils of the Marcellise valley, to the north-east of Verona, this benchmark Amarone blend of Corvinone (45%), Corvina Veronese (25%), Rondinella (20%) and Croatina/Bonarda (10%) captures the nature of this classic, well-structured vintage.
Aromas of sour cherry ('amarena'), balsam oil, dates and bramble pepper the nose, while rich, super suave, black pepper, cinnamon, spice and liquorice flavours dominant the opulent mouth feel. A big wine that's beginning to 'spread its wings', so no hurry even if it is seductive now; pair with stinky cheese, as a port alternative perhaps.

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.

Romano Dal Forno,
Ready, but will keep,
I'm not sure how anyone can resist a wine like the 2009 Amarone della Valpolicellla Monte Lodoletta. It would be impossible to exaggerate the enormity of this wine. Romano Dal Forno has his critics, of course: Some people find his wines exaggerated and too big to drink. They have a point, but you cannot doubt the sheer quality of winemaking that goes behind this monumental wine. Dal Forno's Amarone is a message of optimism that speaks to the infinite possibilities that can be achieved with a simple fruit like the grape. The decadent and layered bouquet offers slow pulses of black fruit, tar, teriyaki, mesquite and prune. The wine wraps like a thick blanket over the palate. This beautiful bottle should be aged ten more years.

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.
