Cave d'Azé - Macon
From a relatively small, well-respected co-operative in the Maconnaise I have selected our "House" Burgundies. Founded in 1927 but using the latest techniques and equipment. The prestige Cuvée Jules Richard is 100% unoaked Chardonnay, clean, fresh and lively, while the red, 100% Pinot Noir Bourgogne Rouge has well judged oak-ageing and soft red berry fruit.

They all represent excellent value.

Luigino e Marco Provolo, Verona
From Italy’s biggest region for quality wines,in the hills behind Verona. We have one white, a Soave lookalike from 100% Garganega grapes, fresh, floral and fruity. The four reds are a wonderful example of the ascending levels of quality found in the area, all from a similar mix of local grape varieties. The first two Valpolicellas are light, fruity and refreshing but with some barrel and bottle age for the Gino; next a Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso - with oak and intensity coming from the process of extending the fermentation with the pressings from making the fourth classic wine: Amarone della Valpolicella.
