Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Vermentino di Bolgheri 2024
Pale straw with green reflections. Open, sea-breezy nose of fresh lemon zest, white peach, green apple and Mediterranean herbs, with a touch of salinity over a chalky-mineral spine. Medium-bodied with crisp citric acidity, saline mouthfeel and a clean, lingering finish of grapefruit pith. Excellent with seafood, antipasti and grilled white fish.
Cà dei Frati I Frati Lugana 2024
Ca’ dei Frati’s I Frati Lugana is a vibrant and expressive white wine made from 100% Turbiana, a local grape closely linked to Verdicchio. It opens with bright, refreshing aromas of lemon, citrus zest, green apple, and subtle white flowers. These lifted notes are balanced by gentle herbal hints and a touch of stone fruit, giving the wine both freshness and aromatic depth.
On the palate, I Frati is crisp and lively, driven by clean acidity and a dry, mineral‑focused structure. Flavours of lemon, peach, grapefruit, and green apple unfold with clarity, supported by a delicate floral lift. The wine is light‑bodied yet flavourful, offering a precise, refreshing profile that makes it exceptionally drinkable.
The finish is long, zesty, and subtly saline, echoing the influence of Lake Garda’s cooling breezes and mineral‑rich soils. This combination of purity, energy, and finesse makes I Frati a versatile companion for seafood, salads, light meats, and aperitif moments. It’s a benchmark Lugana—fresh, elegant, and consistently reliable.
Giacomo Fenocchio Roero Arneis 2023
Feudo Maccari Olli Grillo Sicilia DOC 2022
Feudo Maccari Olli Grillo Sicilia DOC 2022 is an exceptional and unusually fine example of one of Italy's most underrated white varieties. Fresh and lightly floral on the nose with savoury, nutty notes. The palate is complex with crisp citrus flavours, ripe stone fruit, and tropical characters on the textured mid-palate. A subtle and multi-layered wine with immediately appealing freshness and fruit leading to a taut, savoury, mineral finish.
Fantastic with grilled white meats, risotto and pasta.
Located in Noto on Italy’s south-eastern tip near the town of Avola, Feudo Maccari was acquired by Antonio Moretti Cuseri - who also owns the Tuscan Tenuta Sette Ponti estate - and his daughter Monica in 2000. This region has extremely fertile volcanic soils, as indicated by the abundant lemon and olive groves, carob trees and flowering almonds.
Araldica Valle Vento Gavi 2024
Valle Vento Gavi del Comune di Tassarolo 2024 has gentle stone fruit and lemon aromas. Citrus, honeysuckle and mineral notes come to the fore on the palate with a long zingy finish.
Drink with grilled fish, shellfish, or risotto primavera
A classic and appealing organic Gavi from the Tassarolo zone, in the very north of the Gavi region.
The Cortese grapes are selected from organically farmed vineyard in the Tassarolo zone of Gavi, a few kilometres from the La Battistina estate. After hand-harvesting, vinification takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, to maintain freshness and aromas. The wine spends a short time on lees before bottling.
Pietrabianca Chardonnay, Tenuta Bocca di Lupo 2023
Pietrabianca 2020 has a bright yellow colour. The nose reveals fresh notes of orange blossom and exotic fruit. The toasted hazelnut and citrus scents enrich its complexity. On the palate it is characterized by a good freshness capable of reviving the buttery and mineral sensations perceived on the nose. A white capable of expressing itself today as in the years to come.
