ITALY ABRUZZO Abruzzo is an east-central Italian region which is home of one of the most famous Italian red grape varieties, Montepulciano. The moderating effect on the weather from the Adriatic Sea coupled with the ability of the Pennine Mountains to trap warm air, creates Abruzzo s unique climate to ripen this versatile and generous grape variety. The style can vary from every day inexpensive red such as our V&C Montepulciano 2012 and MODA Talamonti to complex and sophisticated wines such the rustic Tre Saggi 2011 or the modern and fruit-driven Alta Quota Colline Teramane DOCG 2009. There are two new whites from the region made from the re-introduced Pecorino grape. Two real stunners from Cantine Gran Sasso and Talamonti.

CAMPANIA When Italy started to overhaul its wines in the 1980 s, Campania was ignored for a long time as being deeply unfashionable, sticking with native varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano and Falanghina at a time when everyone else was enthusing over the likes of Chardonnay, Merlot and other French grapes variety. Today things have changed and these grape varieties have caught the attention of wine pundits in fact these grape varieties are so exciting they have been planted elsewhere in Italy and also in Australia. There is an excellent range from Vesevo, from the best vineyards of the Irpinea hills, between 400 and 700 metres. Vesevo capture the essence of this fantastic region with some top wines such as Taurasi, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino. We are delighted to welcome the Ercolino family with their Vinosia Lacryma Christi wines and their passion and dedication by adding a modern spin to native grapes varieties.

The Cantine Medici Ermete is a great example of the turnaround from bulk producer to high quality production and diversification instigated by the fourth generation, namely Alberto Medici. They own 60 hectares of land spread out among the finest winegrowing areas in the Emilia-Romagna region and include the zety Blanc, Bonarda and Gutturnio from Del Duca as well as the Concerto Lambrusco secco.

ITALIAN SWEET SPARKLING There is only one place in Italy and in the worlds where the Moscato grape become sparkling and this is Asti in Piemonte. The Moscati of Asti with only 5% alcohol and a gentle fizz are an absolutely delightful expression of this aromatic and delicate grape, with unique aromas of peach and spring blossom. It is important to do not confuse Moscato d Asti DOC, which is frizzante and only 1 to 2 atmospheres of pressure, with the Asti Spumante DOCG with its full spumante with 5 atmospheres of pressure in the bottle and has an alcohol of 7-8%ABV. It is a pity that some mass-produced, low quality wines have spoiled the name of Asti. Another sweet sparkling from Piemonte is the red Brachetto d Acqui with its aromas of strawberries. These wines are perfect for the after-dinner palate teaser or as a dessert wine to match with fruit salads for example.

However, like many styles of Italian wine, it has benefited from a recent increase in investment in the region. We would be remiss in our duties if we did not showcase an example of Frascati as it should be, that example coming once again from Casale Marchese. The 2010 is elegant, savoury and robust, a white of distinction.

The grapes are dried, using the same technique of appassimento of the most famous Amarone della Valpollicella, but vinified as a dry wine, with weight and complexity. An important white DOC to consider is Lugana made from the local Turbiana grape on the shores of Lago di Garda. The Lugana I Frati is particularly impressive with fresh perfume of white flowers, peaches and ripe lemons. Also try the Bianco di Custoza made predominantly from the Fernanda grape. Cavalchina s Amedeo is the perfect expression of this DOC wine from vineyards around the town of Custoza.

MARCHE Marche s claim to fame is a white wine called Verdicchio made from the Verdicchio grape. The finest expressions of Verdicchio are to be found in this list!! The Classico Le Vaglie from Santa Barbara is aromatic and fresh with just a hint of new oak on the palate. The Monte Schiavo range ranges from basic easy-drinking to superior wines for ageing. Our favourite is the San Floriano. A well balanced wine with something for everyone inrense, lifted aromas, great mouth-feel and a long finish and it is great value!

However Piemonte is also the home of Gavi, a clean and crisp white backed by a fullness of flavour that has proved very popular of late. The Gavi di Gavi from Terre da Vino is the best value example, but the Giustiniana continues to impress. The Nebbiolo Langhe from Produttori del Barbaresco is an excellent introduction to both a superlative winemaker and to the region s more famous red wines.

Each vineyard has its own specific soil type and microclimate. Sun exposure, slope gradient and altitude, in short what is known as terroir. These special vineyard names are Rabaja, Ovello, Pajé, Pora and Mungagota and we import these directly from the Produttori del Barbaresco, the oldest cooperative in Barbaresco. They are outstanding. They can all be drunk young but they will all benefit from at least three to four years ageing and will improve over twenty years. We could not miss out the big name in Barbaresco, Angelo Gaja, the man who started the Barbaresco revolution and introduced this fine wine to the world.

Araldica s Ceppi Storici is standout for value, but look out for its big brother, the Rive from Il Cascinone vineyard.

It is made from one varietal, Nebbiolo. The best vineyards are located in the villages of Barolo, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d Alba. Barolos are rich wines, deeply concentrated, full bodied with pronounced tannins and acidity. Very complex, the aromas associated with it include camphor, chocolate, dried fruit, tar, damsons, eucalyptus, leather, rose, liquorice, mint, plums, mulberries,spice white truffles as well as dried and fresh herbs. Barolo has great ageing potential although some are made to be drunk just few years after bottling. Try our Paesi Tuoi or Dagromis Gaja two very different Barolos but both good for early drinking.

PUGLIA Puglian wines at last have lost their old reputation for being cheap bulk produced wine full bodied and often heavy in alcohol. We are constantly expanding our Puglian selection, especially with those unusual grape varieties, those hidden gems, such as the red Susumaniello, Malvasia Nera, Negroamaro, Uva di Troia and the white Verdeca.

However there are many other outstanding wines from areas outside Chianti such as the Morellino di Scansano perhaps, or the superb Merlot, Cabernet and Shiraz wines from the coastal areas around Bolgheri. The Flaccianello and Cepparello are still our favourite super Tuscans. Also look at the Mediterra Rosso. Tuscany is also home to exceptional whites such as the Vermentino Solo Sole from the coast and the Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Terruzzi & Puthod DOCG and the Burgundy-like Chardonnay from Paolo de Marchi.

TOSCANA-CHIANTI COLLI_FIORENTINI We list two producers from the Florentine hills: Leonardo makes a cracking basic Chinati in that fresh, fruitdriven, grapey style. Their Riserva has a bit more weighty. Our star wine from this area is the Da Vinci Riserva. It is so well balanced and punching well above its weight. This zone is also home of our own registered trademark Chianti, the Fiasco. It is bottled for us by Leonardo. 50 years ago the Fiasco or straw flask contained fairly basic, cheap wine. Today we continue promoting the iconic symbol of Italian wine but it now contains a first rate Chianti well worth the extra money you pay for the manufacture of the straw flask.

These are wines with superb structure and complexity, elegant and powerful with exceptional ageing potential. Brunello is generally now being with the immediate drinker in mind. So yes, with lots of ageing potential but also easily drinkable now. 2007 is definitely a much more intense and powerful vintage than 2008. But wait till you taste the 2008 vintage of our own Brunello Il Valentiano. A lifted, aromatic nose of cedar and violets but also depth and power. Such elegance and silky smooth tannins. Very approachable now and the best value Brunello on the list.

The Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta used French grapes at his estate at Tenuta San Guido to produce this most excellent deep red wine. We are fortunate enough to have examples from many of the vintages produced over the past 20 years, from the quality and affordable ones to the truly stratospheric vintages.

While not the first of the Supertuscans (an honour belonging to Sassicaia), it was Tignanello which sparked a revolution in 1971 in the Italian wine industry over what was possible in the country s viticulture. This occurred not just because it was made with French grapes as an integral part of the blend, but because such a wine was just so good when grown in Italian soil. In Tuscan soil.

Coupled with the cooler climate owing to its more northerly location, one should expect aromatic wines of great elegance and concentration. Franz Haas is an accomplished winemaker of tremendous skill with white wines, his Pinot Nero also worthy of careful consideration. Our praise goes to the Cavit co-operative s range. It is the largest co-operative in Trentino Alto-Adige. Cavit manages the impossible: to mass produce. affordable wines that are of very high quality.

VENETO Veneto is the biggest wine producing region in Italy. It has the beauty and the beast of the Italians DOCs. That means that the quality of the wines go from the beast of rather poor wines grown on the plains (to service profit-hungry supermarkets) to the beauty of outstanding, hillside-grown wines from authentically conscientious family growers. We stay with the beauties from high quality, soft fruit Valpolicella, via rich Ripasso and powerful Amarone to the superb Soave Classico (The La Rocca Pieropan is one of the finest white wines of Italy). Veneto is enjoying a renaissance second to none in Italy with record breaking sales of Ripasso and Amarone. There are so many top-notch producers such as Allegrini, Brigaldara, Zenato, Tommasi, Pieropan, Anselmi and Torre d Orti (their Ripasso is our best- selling Veneto wine). Also a fantastic selection of Superveneto reds such Palazzo della Torre from Allegrini, Secco Tradizionale Bertani, La Poja and La Grola from Allegrini.

We do love Mendoza s powerful Malbec and perfumed Torrontes, however we could not do without something new and interesting red wines such as the Enamore, a blend of Malbec, Cabernet, Bonarda and Cabernet Franc or the Crios Pinot Noir. The Finca Los Primos Torrontes, was voted best white wine in our Spring Tasting. As for the sparkling Bianchi Brut, it has to be tasted to be believed. Exotic fruit aromas and a delicious, biscuity, yeasty palate and a long nutty aftertatse. Great balance.

AUSTRALIA-BAROSSA VALLEY The Barossa Valley is one of the names people recognise when they think of Shiraz in Australia, that s because almost no other place in the world is able to produce such a punchy, chocolaty and spicy Shiraz. We are also excited about the marriage of powerful Shiraz and light, fruity Grenache. Three cheers for Charles Melton s Chateauneauf-Du-Pape-beater Nine Popes and his gently aromatic Rose of Virginia sitting proudly alongside the best wines on our list plus a fantastic new arrival in our range, the 2010 Wallace by the talented winemaker Ben Glaetzer.

Nicely dry, crisp Rieslings and soft, green peppercorn Pinot Noir. Fred Loimer is one of the best producers, whose aim is to continually improve the quality of his wines. Since 2006, the vineyard and cellar work has been conducted according to biodynamic principles.

To our soft, fruit-driven Zinfandel we have added some superb wines. The proximity to the Pacific ocean allows cool air currents to come in-land cooling the vineyards closest to the coast. Whereas, Sonoma and Napa counties remain hot due to the lack of this cooling influence Au Bon Climat is recognized worldwide for their classically-styled wines and we list their elegant Pinot Noir and outstanding Chardonnay.

We list an Ice Wine made from Vidal grapes, an hybrid variety produced from the Vitis vinifera variety Ugni blanc (also known as Trebbiano Toscano) and another hybrid variety, Rayon d'or (Seibel 4986). The example from Peller is possibly the purest expression of the grape that you will ever taste. It strikes a harmonious blend of acidity and honeyed fruit - nectar of the gods??

CHILE When the Spanish imported grapes with which to make Communion wine in the 1500 s, those less concerned with the liquid s application as part of a religious ceremony took to the production (and drinking!) of wine, wholeheartedly. Today, Chile is one of the greatest locations from which to get high-quality wine at relatively inexpensive prices. Our selection may appear very reasonably priced but there is nothing cheap about the fresh fruit and delicious flavours contained within. Of particular note are the wines made from Carmenere, spicy, earthy and powerful wines that hold up to a variety of strongly-flavoured food. Great white wines also made from Blanc and aromatic Gewurztraminer from Emiliana whose wine are organic.

FRANCE - BORDEAUX RED Where would the wine world be without the Cabernet /Merlot blends of Bordeaux? While its popularity amongst the casual wine-buyer was reduced by the newcomers fromoverseas, recent months have seen people returning to good old Claret. Demand for its finer Crus has always remained high regardless of current fashion, and some winemakers haveexperimented with some of the winemaking and marketing techniques from the likes of Australia and New Zealand. Our Bordeaux selection caters for this side of the market, the likes of La Freynelle not only printing the names of their grapes on the front of the bottle but shock horror! using screwcaps! A sure sign of welcome modernisation in the region without diluting the quality of the wine itself. BOR0314 Bordeaux Superieure 2011 Ch. Mahon-Laville Cabernet, Merlot 13.95 FRANCE - BURGUNDY RED Burgundy is in some ways the most terroir-oriented region in France and maybe in the world; immense attention is paid to the area of origin, and in which of the region s 400 types of soil a wine s grapes are grown. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay finds its spiritual home in Burgundy and these reds and whites are among the best in the world. With the premium price comes premium quality.

Champagne has long been associated with opulent celebration and success, the sort of wine you buy when a special occasion rolls around or as an expression of wealth. However as levels of disposable income have fallen for some in recent years, so has Champagne s accessibility somewhat domished. That s where V&C comes in. We list two exceptional quality independent Champagnes below 30 which are punching well above their weight: Eduard Brun and Fourtin. Both are desirable and affordable. We also list the wines of Jacquart consistent, delicious champagne from a top grower.

While they may step outside those more famous AOC boundaries there is still a wealth of great wine waiting to be discovered. Indeed, the number of wines that fall into this bracket can only increase with the recent formation of the Wines of France category. This allows winemakers to experiment with alternative techniques without having to label their wine vin du table, in a way not dissimilar to the origins of the IGT system in Italy.

What we do love about good German Riesling is that harmony of the fruit flavours and the irresistible hint of honey on the nose which features in Rieslings on our list. On the palate that unique balance between fruit sweetness and acidity is simply sublime.

HUNGARY Hungary has been a major wine producer for centuries, yet it has not been known for producing world-class varieties. That is, apart from the sublime Tokaji dessert wine. Our Tokaji 6 Puttonyos, the highest level of sweetness possible for this type, is made by Dobogo. This is not a wine to be frugal over splash out on a bottle, and enjoy the complex honeyed flavour and rich intensity on the palate of one of the world s greatest wines.

However, there is definitely a lot more to the wines of Portugal than Port, and we have started to see some excellent wine coming through to the UK.

After some shaky beginnings the country is now demonstrating an ability to produce great wines at all price levels, as a result it is one of the fastest-growing sections on our list. Stellenbosch has staked its claim as one of the world s best areas for white wines while some great things are being done with reds in areas such as Paarl.

Wines from Jumilla tend towards lighter, fruitier styles composed of the Monastrell grape, the Spanish version of Mourvedre.

SPAIN-MALLORCA One of Spanish wines best kept secrets, Mallorca has only recently begun exporting its historic wines. Some of the family owned vineyardsdate back to the 15th Century, and its rich heritage is reflected in the quality of the wine. The Bodega Macia Batle produces rich yet easy drinking reds and is well worth a try.

Another indigenous grape is Godello which ptroduces refreshing and aromatic wine, simply bursting with fresh fruit flavours. Try pairing it with shellfish, it is truly delightful.

The Tempranillo is the only grape allowed in this Spanish denomination. To prove its quality to you we have added the famous Pesquera Ribera del Duero Crianza made from Alejandro Fernandez and the Torres Celeste made from another famous producer, Miguel Torres.

There are of course many other Spanish wine-producing regions but Rioja did not achieve its fame by accident. Producing easy to drink, full-flavoured wines from the Tempranillo grape, recent vintages have only enhanced the reputation of this already highlyregarded region.
