There’s also a good squeeze of lemon and some nice freshness that washes down well with the minerally essence and yummy, moreish acidity.

Bisci Verdicchio 2022

Rosso that’s generous with some plummy fruit and a little dried, black olive smoothness, and a salty edge. Montepulciano and Sangiovese are two of Italy’s best exports and here’s another delightful blend that's full of cherry berry, and marzipan almonds and offers up a moment in the old country. Just lovely.

DeAngelis Rosso Piceno 2020

Corrado Tonelli Visner Montepulciano With Sour Cherries 2021/ 2022

Did we mention it’s all certified organic too, and that the profile finishes savoury?

Cantina Offida Falerio Biologico Bianco 2022

Palate is full of savoury licorice, dark olive skins and, a little cacao nib which our wine-buyer described delightfully as ‘Malteser chew’ – yum! Amazing with Ascolana Olives.

Umani Ronchi Rosso Conero San Lorenzo Montepulciano 2019

A delightful higher altitude Verdicchio, and a great expression of the region. Honied florals, crisp yellow apple, a hint of citrus, honeydew melon, and mineral tones.

Bisci Verdicchio di Matelica 2021

A real aromatic number laden with honeysuckle, peach and lychees on the nose. In the glass, there's plenty of fruit up-front, florals, and a hint of bath salts all whipped up by some zippy citrus and pineapple of the finish.

Ciu Ciu Oris Falerio Bianco 2022

Alluring floral aromatics and a herbaceous bitterness, with sweet caramel and cola spices on the palate.

Meletti Amaro

There's so much to love in this big and bold Montepulciano and Sangiovese blend. Glace cherry, deep dark fruit and some chewy, nutty tannins give this plenty of intrigue to this certified winter warmer—make sure something cooked low and slow is on the menu, this is made to be shared!

Ciu Ciu Piceno Bacchus Rosso 2022

Your mates are going to love this. Lifted and floral aromas on the nose ease you into this serious wine. Quite concentrated yet delicate in feel, with salty minerality, ripe apple and pear coming together on the palate, with a line of citrus dancing through.

Borgo Paglianetto Petrara Verdicchio di Matelica 2020

Hailing from Le Marche, sibling-run La Marca di San Michele farm organically, use minimal sulphur, and bottle without filtering. Aged in stainless steel with three months on fine lees, the Saltatempo is beautifully textural, and a stunning example of Verdicchio from this region. True to its name, this cuvée has a lovely salty undercurrent, with pithy Meyer lemon, peach fuzz, and a fresh minerality.
