Italy

For Italianophiles, we have invested a lot of time in our range. From Piedmonte we cannot recommend  the Barolo from Francesco Rinaldi highly enough. In particular the Francesco Rinaldi Barolo Cannubi Riserva 2019. 

Of course if you are a Pio Cesare fan we carry their top Barbresco.
Moving towards central Italy we are particularly proud to represent the wines of Collemassari, Grattamacco and Poggio di Sotto. This is really short hand for saying that we have an exemplary Super Tuscan offering of course with Ornellaia in the mix along the more affordable le Volte.

For Brunello di Montalcino or Rosso di Montalcino we cannot recommend highly enough the wines of Poggio di Sotto. If their prices are a little eye watering the Brunello di Montalcino San Giorgio also owned by the Tipa family is sensational as is their Rosso di Montalcino Ciampoleto 2021.

Moving further south we hope you find our judiciously chosen ranges of Primitivo, Negroamaro and Nero d’Avolaimpress.

Of course Italy is not all about red wines. The legendary Vernaccia di San Gimignano from Teruzzi also shipped into Ireland by ourselves. 

With the popularity of Venice we carry the much loved Ca dei Frati wines, the whites based on the Lugana grape. We even stock their oaked version Ca dei Frati Brolettino.

If you are a Vermentino fan we are particularly pleased to champion the organic Collemassari Melacce Vermentino 2023. 

We also stock a selection of Pinot Grigio, with our firm favourite being the Kurtatsch Pinot Grigio Penon DOC 2022. Additionally, we offer Italy’s ever-popular sparkling wine, Prosecco, including Bottega Prosecco Spumante .
