Description
Classic Italian wines in a mixed case. This mixed case showcases three red and three white Italian wines (two bottles of each), all of which are classic Italian wines – and all come from my main list. I never include any cheap “filler wines” unlike some retailers.
Italian wines can be very confusing. Italy alternates with France as the largest wine-producing country in the world. It has the highest number of indigenous grape varieties and is increasingly planting non-Italian varieties and so there are many, many different wines produced throughout the country. This mixed case contains just a tiny selection of Italian wines but probably those that you might expect to see in a classics case. It was extremely difficult to narrow down my choices but in the end I have included a far-too-easily-drinkable Pinot Bianco, a very elegant Soave, a smooth Puglian Negroamaro – Primitivo blend, a crisp Gavi di Gavi, a sumptuous Brunello di Montacino and an awesome Nebbiolo – and you get two bottles of each. See the What’s Included tab for a summary of each wine.
If you would prefer a case of just whites or just reds or a case of six of these wines, contact me by email and I’ll happily put something together for you. Alternatively check out my other mixed cases.
Salute!
What's Included?
2 x Aurelio Settimo Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2016
If you are a fan of Barolo, you will love this wine; same Nebbiolo grape but this wine is unoaked; cherries, chocolate and violet on a long smooth finish.
2 x Guerrieri Rizzardi “Costeggiola” Soave Classico 2023
Single vineyard Soave Classico from a top class producer, Guerrieri Rizzardi; medium to full-bodied with an interesting combination of rich fruits and mineral backbone. A pretty serious wine with a silky texture.
2 x De Conti Appassimento Rosso 2020
Rich red wine produced in Puglia from naturally dried Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes in order to intensify the fruit flavours – think plums and blackcurrants with spicy notes and a lovely, soft, creamy texture.
2 x Erste & Neue Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2021
A Pinot Blanc with real character, complex yet amazingly fresh; subtle apple and pear bouquet with hints of lime. Lovely and velvety in the mouth with a long dry finish.
2 x Morgassi Superiore “Volo” Gavi del Comune di Gavi DOCG 2020
This is a superior Gavi di Gavi from the Comune di Gavi; ageing in tank & bottle give it body & elegance. Unoaked crisp white wine tasting of citrus & apple, it’s delicious.
2 x Castello Tricerchi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019
An elegant and traditional style Brunello di Montalcino from an outstanding vintage; exuberant ripe berries, fruit-forward and delicious.
