Antinori 'Tormaresca' Chardonnay 2018
Tormaresca is owned by famous Tuscan wine family Antinori. As many wine lover's know too well this family only understands one approach to business - 100% devotion to quality. 100% Chardonnay is relatively rare from Puglia but this is a great example.

Pieropan Soave Classico 'La Rocca' 2017
One of two single vineyard wines from Pieropan. A polar opposite to the Calvarino as the grapes are picked when very ripe, often as late as the end of October, giving tremendous complexity and aromatic qualities to the wine. It also sees large old oak.
$62.00
Pieropan Soave Classico 'Calvarino' 2017
One of two single vineyard wines from Pieropan. The 'Calvarino' has 30% Trebbiano in the mix, sees no oak and is nearly always tight and minerally. Average vine age 30 - 60 years.
$53.00
Pieropan Soave Classico DOC 2018
Probably the greatest Soave producer in the world. 85% Soave (Garganega) and 15% Trebbiano di Soave. A fantastic introduction to quality Soave.

Massolino Dolcetto D'Alba 2017
"Deep and dark, plenty of blood plum and cherry, spice, new leather, sage and the like. Medium-bodied, ample fruit - it's really thick and meaty.......Excellent...." 93 points Gary Walsh WineFront

Di Majo Norante Moli Bianco 2016
“The beacon of Molise winemaking continues to be the Di Majo Norante estate...We applauded a superb performance by the wines...” Gambero Rosso

Girlan Alto Adige Lagrein 2017
The flag-bearing red wine of the Alto Adige region. Expect plenty of spicy, mineral, dark cherry, bitter chocolate and sap notes on the complex and driven palate. Imagine a dark, inky Beaujolais and you'll be coming close to the style on offer here.
$38.00
Girlan IGT 448 Vigneti Dolomiti Bianco 2018
A classic Northern Italian white blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Bianco......indeed probably my favourite white blend style of all time. All fruit is sourced from vineyards located at 448m altitude, thus the name.
$30.00
Albino Rocca Barbaresco 2015
Sourced from a parcel of old vines in Meruzzano as well as high quality younger fruit from 3 Barbaresco cru sites: Ovello, Ronchi and Cottà. Very good value when considering the vineyard sources.
$81.00
Albino Rocca Dolcetto D'Alba 2017
This is a single vineyard wine sourced from the Barbaresco area. The vines are 30-40-years-old and the winery commits to low yields; of course both factors help create a level on intensity you don't often find in the style.
$32.00
G.D. Vajra Dolcetto d’Alba 2017
"The finish offers vibrancy, depth and freshness. 90 points". Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
$35.00
Albino Rocca 'Rosso Di Rocca' Nebbiolo 2017 - was $39 now $35
Another long-time Piedmonte favourite of mine. Has always been a 'junior burger' priced wine but carries itself nicely as a proper serious Nebbiolo. Having dropped the Barbera from the blend, the wine is now a 95% Nebbiolo and 5% Cabernet Franc mix.
$35.00
Girlan Pinot Bianco 2018 - was $40 now $36
Girlan's Pinot Bianco comes from handpicked fruit grown on Alto Adige's mineral-rich hillsides of Cornaiano, at altitudes ranging from 450 to 500 metres above sea level.
$36.00
Albino Armani Friuli Grave Pinot Grigio 2016
Wonderful floral and aromatic bouquet of white flowers, ripe pear and apple. In the mouth it has lovely savoury fruit complexity and structure with pristine purity of citrus and lip smacking lime and mineral freshness.
