A delicious, light to medium-bodied, elegant, crisp, sparkling wine, offering notes of pears and bread sticks, this refreshing non-vintage cuvee offers excellent effervescence and purity. This is an ideal, fairly-priced, aperitif sparkling wine with loads of character

People looking for fun wines to drink and savour should consider this, light salmon coloured, with assertive toasty, smoky aromas carrying through on the palate, where the mature flavours of bread dough, kir and baked apples are firm and long. Clean and well focused.

Slightly grassy notes to the orange blossom aromas, flavours of citrus dominate with touches of apple, pear, rich honey coated hazelnut, mineral and vanilla, this wine clearly demontrates what is possible with good vintage conditions in Northern Italy from a top producer.

Orange and tangerine aromas complicated by a fresh herbal note. Brisk, juicy flavours of lemon and white peach. No shortage of intensity here, finishes on a firm and persistent note. Very nicely done.

For me, this is one of the stand out wines of the Torre Rosazza range, pale yellow, this offer lovely aromas and flavours of peach, pear, pineapple and acacia honey, medium bodied with lovely acidity and good texture ending with touches of fennel on the long finish. Complex but so enjoyable simply to drink on its own.

The 2006 Ribolla Gialla is a notch above the usual shrilly acidic wines of this variety, lightly golden in colour, floral, honeyed, wafting, and subtle, but expressive and elegant as well, ample and long on the palate with light tropical notes to balance the citric fruit and a long, vibrant finish. It will easily last another two or three years.

Aromas of pineapple, pear, peach, lemon and snow peas. Dense, fresh and full on, good mineral notes with a creamy richness and the stuffing of the great vintage. Firm with a lingering finish.
Ranked as the Worlds 2nd Best Tocai produced in 2006, as at 31/12/07

The 2008 Gavi di Gavi from Bricco is absolutely gorgeous, very light straw colour, the aromatics are subtle, Napoli lemon, peach and apricot are all there, with touches of pineapple, pear and mineral. There’s even the signs of telltale nettle leaf already developing, the signature of great Gavi, which is as rare as the proverbial rocking horse droppings…if you’ve never had Gavi di Gavi before, buy this; if you have and weren’t impressed; Buy this and you will understand what its all about. If you are a fan of Gavi di Gavi ; Buy this by the truck load. I thought the 2006 vintage, (the first ever from this producer) was a great wine, but it pales into insignificance against this 2008.

Golden straw-yellow with a pink tinge, highly aromatic nose of rose petal, white peach, lemon zest and lichee. The palate is dry and restrained, medium bodied supported by ever present minerality that nicely frames the fruit and spice notes, with uncompromisingly high acidity, ending with a fruity finish makes this wine a great value choice over an Alsace Gewürztraminer.

A great wine if your working on a tight budget.

Pale straw-yellow with a strong mousse, bright nose redolent of white peach and white flowers. Beautifully creamy, with lively acidity keeping the flavours fresh and interesting. (It's this creaminess that separates a good Prosecco from poorer thin and tart efforts.) This style goes much better with food than you might imagine.

This fun and intriguing sparkling Cabernet has a black fruit-scented nose. In the mouth, the wine reveals tiny pinpoint bubbles, very good effervescence, dry, rich flavours, and a bold, striking personality. It's not for everybody, and I must admit drinking ruby-colored sparkling wines takes some getting used to, but this example is more interesting and on tasting for the second time, I decided to try it on the market.

A terrific value for people seeking a medium sweet white sparkler with a huge perfume, the Tenuta Santa Anna Moscato offers up scents of honeyed orange marmalade along with fruit cocktail-like flavours. Medium-bodied, with copious floral characteristics as well as crisp acidity, it requires consumption during its first 1-2 years of life.
