The grape variety is referered to as Syrah in the old world and Shiraz in the new world . Grown in the Southern hills overlooking the city, this Syrah dates back to Ancient Rome. and shows soft cherry fruit, liquorice and white pepper notes 

Probably the best known grape variety of them all. This merlot from Central Italy has the slightest of oak againg & is soft to the palate.

Passo Sardo Connonau Sardegna 

A true Sardinian gem that I wanted to introduice to the menu. This connonau comes from the Nraghi region where the grapes are grown, famous for conical stone towers that dot the Sardinian landscape. This wine shows a mixture of black fruits with a pinch of spice

Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 

Lodola Nuova Estate, Ruffino 

The Nobile wine of Tuscany, many would argue the best. This particular estate is near Valiano, my father's birthplace. In this region Sangiovese grapes are called 'Prugnolo Gentile' due to their supererior quality. If you enjoy red wines, this is a must. It's full bodied, rich & lingering on the palate.

Chianti Classico Riserva Gran Selezione 

Riserva Ducale Oro, Ruffino 

It is truely one of the best Chianti I have tasted from the great house of Ruffino. It really is the 'gold reserve' of Chianti. Once reserved for the Italian kings hence the only wine in Italy to have the word 'Riserva' in it's name twice.

Barolo , Enrico Serafino 

This wine needs no introduction. Everyone knows Barolo, for good reason. It is a fabulous intense garnet red wine, aged for three years in large oak barrels. The best wine from Piemonte, it is full bodied yet has smooth tannins with developed savoury furity flavours.

Brunello di Montalcino, Villa Poggio 

This is the king of wines in my opinion. The beautiful hill town of Montalcino has it's vineyards 480 metres above sea level which allows it to produce this very elegant Brunello, from hand-picked Sangiovese grapes. Aged in oak for 30 months, it shows an intense fragrance of red fruits & well-rounded tannins. Simply the bestBrunello di Montalcino
