The moderating effect on the weather from the Adriatic Sea coupled with the ability of the Pennine Mountains to trap warm air, creates Abruzzo’s unique climate to ripen this versatile and generous grape variety. The style can vary from every day inexpensive red such as our V&C Montepulciano 2012 and MODA Talamonti to complex and sophisticated wines such the rustic Tre Saggi 2011 or the modern and fruit-driven Alta Quota Colline Teramane DOCG 2009.

Today things have changed and these grape varieties have caught the attention of wine pundits – in fact these grape varieties are so exciting they have been planted elsewhere in Italy and also in Australia. There is an excellent range from Vesevo, from the best vineyards of the Irpinea hills, between 400 and 700 metres. Vesevo capture the essence of this fantastic region with some top wines such as Taurasi, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino.

The Moscati of Asti with only 5% alcohol and a gentle fizz are an absolutely delightful expression of this aromatic and delicate grape, with unique aromas of peach and spring blossom. It is important to do not confuse Moscato d’Asti DOC, which is frizzante and only 1 to 2 atmospheres of pressure, with the Asti Spumante DOCG with its full spumante with 5 atmospheres of pressure in the bottle and has an alcohol of 7-8%ABV. It is a pity that some mass-produced, low quality wines have spoiled the name of Asti. Another sweet sparkling from Piemonte is the red Brachetto d’Acqui with its aromas of strawberries. These wines are perfect for the after-dinner palate teaser or as a dessert wine to match with fruit salads for example.

However, like many styles of Italian wine, it has benefited from a recent increase in investment in the region.

The grapes are dried, using the same technique of appassimento of the most famous Amarone della Valpollicella, but vinified as a dry wine, with weight and complexity. An important white DOC to consider is Lugana made from the local Turbiana grape on the shores of Lago di Garda. The Lugana I Frati is particularly impressive with fresh perfume of white flowers, peaches and ripe lemons. Also try the Bianco di Custoza made predominantly from the Fernanda grape.

However Piemonte is also the home of Gavi, a clean and crisp white backed by a fullness of flavour that has proved very popular of late. The Gavi di Gavi from Terre da Vino is the best value example, but the Giustiniana continues to impress.

Each vineyard has its own specific soil type and microclimate. Sun exposure, slope gradient and altitude, in short what is known as terroir. These special vineyard names are Rabaja, Ovello, Pajé, Pora and Mungagota and we import these directly from the Produttori del Barbaresco, the oldest cooperative in Barbaresco. They are outstanding. They can all be drunk young but they will all benefit from at least three to four years ageing and will improve over twenty years.

It is made from one varietal, Nebbiolo. The best vineyards are located in the villages of Barolo, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba. Barolos are rich wines , deeply concentrated, full bodied with pronounced tannins and acidity. Very complex, the aromas associated with it include camphor, chocolate, dried fruit, tar, damsons, eucalyptus, leather, rose, liquorice, mint, plums, mulberries ,spice white truffles as well as dried and fresh herbs. Barolo has great ageing potential although some are made to be drunk just few years after bottling. Try our Paesi Tuoi or Dagromis Gaja – two very different Barolos but both good for early drinking.

Cantina due Palme bottles our own-label, inky black, rich smooth Brindisi Rosso as well as their soft, smooth Primitivo di Manduria. Mark Shannon’s A-Mano range represents fantastic quality and great value for money.

However there are many other outstanding wines from areas outside Chianti such as the Morellino di Scansano perhaps, or the superb Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz wines from the coastal areas around Bolgheri. The Flaccianello and Cepparello are still our favourite ‘super Tuscans’. Also look at the Mediterra Rosso. Tuscany is also home to exceptional whites such as the Vermentino Solo Sole from the coast and the Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Terruzzi & Puthod DOCG and the Burgundy-like Chardonnay from Paolo de Marchi.

Their Riserva has a bit more weighty. Our star wine from this area is the Da Vinci Riserva. It is so well balanced and punching well above its weight. This zone is also home of our own registered trademark Chianti, the ‘Fiasco’. It is bottled for us by Leonardo. 50 years ago the Fiasco or straw flask contained fairly basic, cheap wine. Today we continue promoting the iconic symbol of Italian wine but it now contains a first rate Chianti – well worth the extra money you pay for the manufacture of the straw flask.

These are wines with superb structure and complexity, elegant and powerful with exceptional ageing potential. Brunello is generally now being with the immediate drinker in mind. So yes, with lots of ageing potential but also easily drinkable now. 2007 is definitely a much more intense and powerful vintage than 2008. But wait till you taste the 2008 vintage of our own Brunello Il Valentiano. A lifted, aromatic nose of cedar and violets but also depth and power. Such elegance and silky smooth tannins.

The Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta used French grapes at his estate at Tenuta San Guido to produce this most excellent deep red wine. We are fortunate enough to have examples from many of the vintages produced over the past 20 years, from the quality and affordable ones to the truly stratospheric vintages.

While not the first of the Supertuscans (an honour belonging to Sassicaia), it was Tignanello which sparked a revolution in 1971 in the Italian wine industry over what was possible in the country’s viticulture. This occurred not just because it was made with French grapes as an integral part of the blend, but because such a wine was just so good when grown in Italian soil. In Tuscan soil.

Riserva Biferno DOC is a red wine made in San Bonifacio from a blend of Montepulciano, Aglianico and Trebbiano. A complex and intense red with rich fruit and chocolate with hints of blackberry jam and a dusty edge. On the palate is full bodied full of ripe fruit, a touch of wood, firm tannins and a long finish. It's so unusual to find such a fascinating and drinkable wine at this low price Biferno 2008 Camillo Lellis 2008 DOC Camillo Lellis Montepulcinao, Aflianico, Trebbiano £8.99 VENETO Veneto is the biggest wine producing region in Italy. It has the beauty and the beast of the Italians DOCs. That means that the quality of the wines go from the ‘beast’ of rather poor wines grown on the plains (to service profit-hungry supermarkets) to the ‘beauty’ of outstanding, hillside-grown wines from authentically conscientious family growers. We stay with the ‘beauties’ from high quality, soft fruit Valpolicella, via rich Ripasso and powerful Amarone to the superb Soave Classico (The La Rocca Pieropan is one of the finest white wines of Italy). Veneto is enjoying a renaissance second to none in Italy with record breaking sales of Ripasso and Amarone. There are so many top-notch producers such as Allegrini, Brigaldara, Zenato, Tommasi, Pieropan, Anselmi and Torre d’Orti (their Ripasso is our best- selling Veneto wine). Also a fantastic selection of “Superveneto” reds such Palazzo della Torre from Allegrini, Secco Tradizionale Bertani, La Poja and La Grola from Allegrini. Our own-label wines V&C Pinot Grigio and VC Garganega from the Valpantena zone are hugely popular and offer that ‘perceived added value’ we are all looking for in these troubled times.

While its popularity amongst the casual wine-buyer was reduced by the newcomers fromoverseas, recent months have seen people returning to good old Claret. Demand for its finer Crus has always remained high regardless of current fashion, and some winemakers haveexperimented with some of the winemaking and marketing techniques from the likes of Australia and New Zealand. Our Bordeaux selection caters for this side of the market, the likes of La Freynelle not only printing the names of their grapes on the front of the bottle but – shock horror! – using screwcaps!

Champagne has long been associated with opulent celebration and success, the sort of wine you buy when a special occasion rolls around or as an expression of wealth. However as levels of disposable income have fallen for some in recent years, so has Champagne’s accessibility somewhat domished. That’s where V&C comes in. We list two exceptional quality independent Champagnes below £30 which are punching well above their weight: Eduard Brun and Fourtin. Both are desirable and affordable.

However, there is definitely a lot more to the wines of Portugal than Port, and we have started to see some excellent wine coming through to the UK. The Caves Alianca winery has been doing great things with both red and white wines, their Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz outstanding and unusual wines of great quality and excellent value for money.

After some shaky beginnings the country is now demonstrating an ability to produce great wines at all price levels, as a result it is one of the fastest-growing sections on our list. Stellenbosch has staked its claim as one of the world’s best areas for white wines while some great things are being done with reds in areas such as Paarl. South African wines serve as an interesting bridge between the full-flavoured New World styles and the more refined Old World varieties Red SAF CAB1111 KC Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2010 Klein Constantia Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot SAF MER004 SAF SAU0509 CHA0513 SAF SAU10 The Gunnar Merlot Iona KC Sauvignon Blanc Quartz stone Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc Iona 2007 2011 2011 2012 Iona Klein Constantia Glen Carlo Iona Merlot Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc £8.99 £14.95White £7.99 £19.95 £13.95 SPAIN-JUMILLA An outbreak of the phylloxera pests threatened to destroy Jumilla’s output in 1989, but clever winemakers saw this as an opportunity to reinvent the region once the outbreak has been dealt with. Wines from Jumilla tend towards lighter, fruitier styles composed of the Monastrell grape, the Spanish version of Mourvedre.

Some of the family owned vineyardsdate back to the 15th Century, and its rich heritage is reflected in the quality of the wine. The Bodega Macia Batle produces rich yet easy drinking reds and is well worth a try.

There are of course many other Spanish wine-producing regions but Rioja did not achieve its fame by accident. Producing easy to drink, full-flavoured wines from the Tempranillo grape, recent vintages have only enhanced the reputation of this already highlyregarded region.
