Corte Mainente, Soave, Vigna Cengelle, 2023

"Please do not tell me that this wine is £12.75. It cannot be. This is so good! When I first tasted it, I assumed it was around the £25 mark. It is every inch a Soave and it has all those things that you want from a wine on your table: clarity, fruit that sings like a robin on a dew-wet sunlit morning, a finger-smudge of sweet herbs, a trill of acidity. It's young, so you can taste candied angelica and rhubarb compote. It's full of promise and has so much more to give, so you...

Corte Mainente

Soave, Italy

We get super excited when Jancis Robinson (or one of her team) write about our wine!

Voted the world's most influential wine critic in polls in the US, France and internationally in 2018, Jancis views herself as a wine writer rather than a wine critic.

She writes daily for JancisRobinson.com and weekly for the Financial Times. She is founder-editor of The Oxford Companion...

Michele Biancardi, Anima di Nero, Nero di Troia, IGT Puglia, 2019

"Why do I not drink more Nero di Troia? It's such a heart-felt wine! It's not sweet, but it tastes of dried strawberries and raspberry jam. It's fragrant with Earl Grey tea and old sandalwood. It has a throaty hum and warmth and yet the alcohol is a mere 13%. It is packed with Christmas spices and yet the freshness is cool and quiet. The tannins feel like rock-pool rocks, like the back of seashells. I reckon this is the wine for smoked duck, or rare duck breast seared over...

Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.
