Italian Classic Wines
Guerrieri Rizzardi ~ Extra Dry Prosecco DOC
Beautiful Bubbles,11%
This is no cloyingly sweet Prosecco; if you're looking for a really refined and subtle Prosecco to quote Tom Canavan, look no further. Probably the best Prosecco you will ever taste

Morgassi Superiore ~ Volo Gavi del Comune di Gavi DOCG 2016
Crisp Light Whites,12.5%
A top class Gavi, very elegant with long, dry, lime and apple finish; a very versatile white wine that drinks well on its own and will stand up to a wide range of foods

Guerrieri Rizzardi ~ Pojega Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOP Ripasso 2015
Rich Spicy Reds,13.9%
An amazingly affordable alternative to Amarone. Very concentrated, full of intense flavours but more medium- than full-bodied and less rich. Very smooth... delicious!

Erste & Neue ~ Alto Adige DOC Pinot Bianco 2016
Crisp Light Whites,13.5%
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

Aurelio Settimo ~ Nebbiolo Langhe DOC 2013
Smooth Elegant Reds,14%
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

Boscarelli ~ Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2015
Smooth Elegant Reds,14%
A fine example of a well structured, traditional style Vino Nobile, fine subtle tannins, juicy fruits and a medium-body; a really special wine

TastingNotes
This Italian Classics mixed case showcases three red and three white Italian wines (two bottles of each), all of which are classics - and all from my list. I never include any cheap "fillers".
Italian wines can be confusing. Italy has the highest number of indigenous grape varieties and is increasingly planting non-Italian varieties so there are many, many different wines produced thoughout the country.
It was difficult to narrow down my choice but in the end I have included a Prosecco with substance, a Pinot Bianco, a very elegant Gavi di Gavi DOCG, a smooth Valpolicella, an awesome Nebbiolo and an amazing Vino Nobile di Montepulciano which is drinking beautifully now. See above for a summary or click on each wine for more details.
