| Soprano Peccorino 2003 |
Made
from hand selected 100% Pecorino grapes. Fermented in stainless
steel temperature controlled vats. The result is a wonderfully refreshing
pale yellow fruity wine. A clean smooth wine oozing in quality and
character. Combines well with most fish dishes (not those cooked
in red wine) or as an aperitif with a touch of class.

| Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Colle Trà 2001 |
Made
from 100% hand selected Montepulciano grapes and refined for 9 months
in wooden casks. This is a wine with character and body. It is warm
and fruity with enough corners to excite without overtaking the
palette. It is an excellent example of Itallian wine, which is great
to drink now but, with 14% of alcohol, even better to keep for later.
Combines well with roasted and grilled meats and game.

| Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Celibe
Reserva 2000 |
Hand
selected 100% Montepulciano grapes and refined for 2 years plus
in wooden casks and 6 months in bottle. To the nose there is a smell
off plums and ripe cherries, which persists in the mouth where they
blend with the taste off mellow coffee. A persistent taste with
an inviting tannic balance. A wonderful wine which is ideal to drink
now, or can be kept for 4/5 years due to its high alcohol content.
