Lovers of fine Italian whites don’t miss this dazzling star from the third-generation Antonio Federici family estate near Rome.
Bursting with white peach and orange blossom notes on a mouth-watering citrus-crisp finish, it’s the ultimate in refreshment.
And guess what? The prestigious Luca Maroni Wine Guide has rated it 99 points out of a possible 99. Yes, that’s a perfect score!
It’s made from Malvasia Puntinata, and if you haven’t heard of this delicious grape, we’re not surprised. It’s a native grape of Lazio, near Rome, so you may have tasted it in that beautiful, chaotic city if you’ve visited, but limited quantities mean not much of it leaves Italy. Actually, not much of it leaves Rome! The Romans know what’s good and this wine usually goes to the top restaurants. We were lucky enough to get some of the red during that infamous period in 2020 when restaurants were closed, and our good connections mean we’ve remained on the list to get the white as well.
And we are so glad we did because this is SO delicious! It’s beautifully aromatic and elegant, with wonderful apricot, orange blossom, and herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied, it has a lipsmacking freshness, with gorgeous minerality and a crisp, citrus finish. It’s the perfect seafood partner – though you can easily just sip on it solo too.
We love it. Luca Maroni loves it. (As that 99/99 score shows!) And we think you will love it too!
Don’t forget – the 11th of May is Mother’s Day! Time to make the mothers in your life know how much you appreciate them by making sure some flowers are heading their way. And THEN, make sure these beautiful wines are heading their way too.
And when we say beautiful, we mean it! Not only is the wine beautiful inside, but on the outside, the exquisite labels on these lovely wines all feature flowers – the perfect Mother’s Day Collection!
In whites, delight in the charm-filled Marie & Sylvie Les Deux Soeurs Bordeaux 2021 and the irresistible La Belle Saison Sauvignon Blanc 2023 from the South of France, sunny with zesty bright fruit. The gorgeously crisp and minerally Le Viti di Beatrice Gavi 2023 from Italy’s Piedmont rounds out this superb collection. Plus enjoy 2 FREE UK Dartington Crystal White Wine Glasses, worth $350.
Yes, mothers deserves the best! The stunning Prosecco Il Casone is a special, limited-edition from our favourite Prosecco winemaker, Alessandro Gallici. He selected the very finest grapes to make a sparkle of delicious zesty lemon and toasty intensity, beautifully presented in a Venetian glass-inspired bottle. It will make the mothers in your life feel VERY special indeed!
New Zealand is a lovely place to visit, especially if you’re a wine lover.
And there’s one variety that everyone simply can’t get enough of: the fruit-driven, leap-from-the-glass, aromatic, lipsmacking, mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs. They are absolutely irresistible!
Luckily, you don’t have to visit to taste their marvellous wines. We have some very good friends in New Zealand who give us access to their beautiful wines – like the lovely Company Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2024, from the Trophy-winning Siefried Estate in Nelson, just up the coast from the famous Marlborough region. Bursting with flavour and shining with style, it really gives the Marlborough Savvies a run for their money – and it’s incredible value too!
At least 2,400 hours of sunshine a year, cool sea breezes and rich soil lend a zesty brilliance and richness of fruit to the Sauvignons of Nelson. That’s why this one boasts such thrilling intensity. With its rush of pure citrus, gooseberry and tropical fruit, it’s a classic New Zealand Sauvignon that dazzles at the very first sip.
Our customers love it:
“Such a lovely wine … another of my favourites” … “A joy to the taste buds …very refreshing” …
“This is the perfect bargain New Zealander for zingy zesty lemon crunch with a lashing of sea air!”
We think you will love it too, especially if you’re serving seafood – this is the perfect match. It’s also a refreshing drop just to sip on at the end of a long day.
