Nectarine and some peach with a little almond meal. Soave’s so good with smoked salmon bagels. All the vibrant acidity and lemon pith will cut straight through those capers. Grab a bottle and your ingredients, this will make for the best winey lunch you’ve had in a while.

Sandro de Bruno Soave 2023

Loredan Gasparini Prosecco Superiore NV

Veneto’s a long way from Napoli but this is still perfect pizza wine. Corvina is native to Veneto where it’s the most-planted red grape, and in this blend, it’s full of sweet fruits and savoury tannin. Do you know how to make a vegetable quiche (tarta salada)? This is your time to shine with an epic pairing if so.

Domini Del Leone Veneto Rosso 2023

From the flat lands in Veneto comes a wine brimming with light, crisp and floral leaves. Think lifted jasmine and some zest with a savoury edge. It’s wines like these that are the reason the world loves northern Italian Grigio.

IL Vignaiolo Pinot Grigio 2023

Veneto Prosecco that’s straight down the line, complete with a good amount of fruit and a dry finish. Naturally, it’s full of lemon sherbert and some stone fruit. You might want to stock up and take one this weekend, and another to your mate’s for dinner next week and have one on hand for when so-and-so come for the kids’ playdate next weekend.

Castelnuovo Prosecco Extra Dry NV

Blushing with light citrus bliss, and a delicate mouthfeel, this one’s a little herby and rounded out with a savoury edge thanks to time in steel.

Cantina di Soave 2022

Fragrant Bardolino with some lively aromas and a palate of red berries. There’s also some flinty minerality which adds to the wine’s moreish profile. This is going to be oh so perfect with a borlotti bean dish, salami and a wedge (summer’s not the time for slices) of asiago.

Benazzoli Bardolino 2022

And while we recommend drinking in moderation, he was under a lot of pressure at the time to be fair. Fluffy with citrus fruit, talcy with a chalky finish. Great Value!

Amanti Prosecco NV

An absolute bang-for-buck Pinot Grigio from the good people at Insieme in Delle Venezia. Peach fuzz and pear aromatics lead into a peachy palate, a hint of ginger spice, and a nice lick of phenolics.
