It's Pinot Grigio - but not as you may usually know it... From a single-vineyard, Sot Lis Rivis, and barrel-fermented in oak, this is a fine, gutsy wine with a sophisticated creamy, toasty edge and a notable herby character. The rich, nutty palate has a full texture and good concentration, with well-integrated oak. Superb.

Deep yellow colour. Distinctly herby, straw tinged nose leads to a rich, herby palate with a lovely nutty texture. Pure, clean fruit flavours here in a restrained style. 

Les Amants' showcase for the strong, gutsy Mourvèdre variety - softened a little by a splash of Grenache. Its characteristic gamey, earthy qualities are here quite polished, with a wine of impressive style and minerality. Red fruits, white pepper, vanilla and cocoa all make a showing. We recommend decanting.

A fine, well-balanced chardonnay, with a little oak – fresh, elegant and soft whilst boasting intense ripe fruit flavours of banana, grapefruit and apple. Extremely rare, and one of the classiest examples of chardonnay produced outside the French border.

If all Chianti were like this, the world would be a better place. Many weird and wonderful things have been done with Sangiovese, but, when you strip off the pretensions, it makes wine that is enjoyable, satisfying, and, in this case, very, very classy.

An unusual blend for the region, the chocolatey, leathery Petit Verdot works nicely alongside the rich, plummy Aglianico, with both having 14 months in barrique to get to know each other. This is a serious wine, and with some patience, the result is a harmonious blend of high fruit notes, rich heady flavours and a herbaceaous character that brings it all down to earth. 

FEATURED WINE - Jancis Robinson

Manni Nossing’s Kerner represents a virtuoso performance, squeezing ripe, fleshy lychee and pink grapefruit flavours out of an often overlooked, and, it seems, underrated grape variety.

Produced entirely from the two hectares with the best aspect on the domaine, very low yields and a long maceration give a unique character to this powerful wine. Lots of jammy red fruit alongside pronounced notes of herbs and spices, and a nice weight on the palate, this is a wine made to be enjoyed with food.

Rich in bold fruit and spice aromas, the Pamina is a unique expression of Chenin, with a supple smoothness and toasty vanilla notes from fermentation in oak. Enough body to stand up to most food, and particularly good with exotic, spicy dishes.

Sylvaner is the most important grape variety produced here in the Isarco Valley, and much of it can be either brash and blowsy or just plain uninteresting. Manni’s interpretation, however, is real class. Full and clean with earthy, floral, honeyed tones, this works beautifully as a tastebud-catching aperitif, or a match for lightly spiced dishes.
