More fantastic wines arriving shortly!What a fabulous country. Nowhere in all my travels have I ever encountered such a love of good food and wine. In my opinion Italy produces some of the best wine in the world. Anyone who has been to Italy knows the Italian attitude to life - rules are there to be broken, and the same is true in their wine industry. The government introduced a classification system loosely based on the French Appellation Controlee. However, many Italian wine makers refused to be restricted and continued to make fantastic wine as they wanted, just labelling it 'vino da tavola' table wine. To the Italians in the know this was no problem, as a bottle of table wine at £20 would have a strong reputation locally. However this is no help to consumers in the Uk. Italy more than any other country is one cauldron of confusion when it comes to selecting wine from looking at the bottle. Always look out on the label for a reputable producer. The Italian wine guides like 'Gambero Rosso' can be very helpful and their award system is very reliable. We have some sensational wines listed below from Super Tuscans, fantastic new Sardinians and Sicilians to famous name Barolos and Amarones. If you're unfamiliar with these wines please feel free to mix your own case - what a great way to sample some of the very finest wines Italy has to offer.To get the best out of these fantastic wines, please ensure they have been stored at room temperature for a few hours prior to opening, and leave them to breathe for half an hour before drinking.
