La Dolce Vita Italian Wines and Food Collection

Anello Barbera d'Asti DOCG 2020

• ABV: 14.5%
• Vintage: 2020
• Size: 75cl

Barbera is at home up in the north-west of Italy. It's a very versatile and adaptable grape variety that can result in wine of all kinds of styles, from light to intense, dry to sweet. The Anello Barbera comes from Asti vineyards, where the clay and limestone soils work together to create grapes with excellent fruit concentration, with an extra layer of richness from some time in barrel before release.

L'Ornato Appassimento 2021

• ABV: 13.5%
• Vintage: 2021
• Size: 75cl

Whereas a full-blooded Amarone is made completely from dried grapes, the L'Ornato is a blend of juice from dried grapes combined with their estate-level Corvinone, Corvina and Cabernet Sauvignon which are fermented more traditionally. The result is a really smooth, huge red with masses of cherry and blackcurrant fruit, complex spicy and herbal notes and possesses the spirit of a top-drawer Amarone, but at a snip of the price.

Ca' Vegar Bardolino DOC 2023

• ABV: 12.5%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

There are some pretty big and robust reds from the Veneto region in northern Italy. And you'll often find Bardolino in that very style. But the aim of the Ca' Vegar is to express varietal character in a pure, clean and elegant way. It has a really nice weight on the palate that suits its freshness perfectly - fresh strawberries and raspberries with a light and deft structure on the palate.

Prodezza Prosecco Brut NV

• ABV: 11%
• Vintage: NV
• Size: 75cl

Prodezza Prosecco is typically Italian in style - flamboyantly elegant, if that's even possible! This delightful Prosecco is classic on the palate with crisp apple, fresh pear and notes of lemon zest. The bubbles and freshness work in complete harmony, leaving your senses completely satisfied that this now-famous wine style is not a flash in the pan, but here to stay.

Ca' Vegar Custoza DOC 2022

• ABV: 12.5%
• Vintage: 2022
• Size: 75cl

At its price, this Northern Italian white punches well above its weight. Thanks to scrupulous fruit selection at harvest and careful lees contact during fermentation, you'll be amazed by the depth of flavour, complexity and concentration. Tropical fruit notes underpinned by almonds with a welcome freshness from the vineyard's proximity to the picturesque Lake Garda. A serious wine at a great price.

Bendico Terre Siciliane Vermentino 2023

• ABV: 12.5%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

There's something very appealing about this wine style to a wine drinker with all kinds of preferences. It has a moreish cakey sweetness to the aromatics, but a seriousness too with some complex herbal notes on what is actually a ripe but dry and fresh palate. It's a great rack-filler, an easy-drinker, but very competent on the dinner table with all kinds of food. One to have a play around with!

Passeggiata Fiano 2023

• ABV: 12.5%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

If a wine can represent a traditional leisure activity, then this is it. The 'passeggiata' is that early evening stroll with friends and family, so common in countries like Italy, where you close the chapter on the day you've had and move into the evening. This Fiano is exactly that. Pour a pre-dinner glass with friends while you catch up, enjoy its versatile nature with expressive but uncomplicated aromatics of tropical fruit and green herbs, before you move onto the seriousness of dinner conversation!
