2010 VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO Le Salette
Valpolicella Veneto Italy
One of the better Valpolicella we have come across, having listed the Amarone from the same producer for a couple of vintages. Light, crisp, with rounded fruit, a not unattractive edge of green pepperiness giving a very good finish to what can so often be such a dull wine. This is very drinkable indeed.

2009 LA MAGGIORINA Le Piane
Boca Piedmont Italy
Made from the oldest vines on the estate, this Croatina/Nebbiolo blend is lighter in colour than the estate's other wines. Pepper and spice on the nose with a hint of oak. Bright fruits with fresh acidity and again a touch of spice on the palate, this would be wonderful with a plate of salami.
