Stocco, Malvasia IGT Trevenezie, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy -
East of Venice, towards Slovenia lies the region of Friuli Grave, a land between the Carnic Mountains and the sea, the Gulf of Trieste, with deep alluvial soils, a climate well suited to viticulture and a wealth of indigenous grape varieties. The Stocco family have been farming and making wine here for at least four generations, focusing on the local varieties but also working with some international grapes.
This Malvasia is straw yellow in colour, dry with hints of exotic fruits and spice. Perfect with soups or seafood but equally well enjoyed on its own.

La Biancara, Angiolino Maule, Masieri Bianco, Veneto, Italy -
La Biancara is a project by Angiolino & Alessandro Maule, one of the pioneers of natural winemaking, totally organic in the vineyards, minimal manipulation in the cellar, just looking for the pure expression of place. And the place is in the Colli Berici, a hilly area of the Veneto in Northern Italy with volcanic soils.
The Masieri Bianco is mostly Garganega which is the variety used to make Veneto's famous Soave. The grapes are destemmed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in steel. It's unfiltered and made without any addition of sulphites! Expect green apples and hay on the nose followed by peach and plenty of citrus on the palate with a herbal touch and great volcanic minerality and acidity.

Ai Galera, Poetico Vinho Regional, Tejo, Portugal -
The previously undervalued Tejo region, lying to the south of Lisbon, is capable of producing wines of enormous value and character – something that is captured by Ai Galera. From around the region of Charneca on sandy-clay soils. Each variety is fermented separately in temperature controlled stainless steel vats at 23 ºC. An intense ruby red colour. Vinous and clean aroma's with hints of red berry fruits. Round in the mouth and medium bodied. A well rounded finish with mellow tannin.
This gentle red works well with white meats and soft cheese.

Latium Morini, Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy -
Latium Morini is an extended family producer - seven brother, sisters, uncles, aunts etc who own vineyards in the Veneto regions of Soave and Valpolicella, north of Verona in North East Italy. They used to take their grapes to the local cooperative but around ten years ago decided to build their own winery, partly spurred on by seeing what their famous neighbours were doing. They have never looked back and get great reviews for their wines. Jancis Robinson rates their Amarone as being in the top five produced.
An alluring ruby colour, notes of cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruits. Super easy going, soft and washes down with delicate tannins. A favourite of checked table cloth Italian Trattoria for many years, proper Valpol is brilliant with pizza, pasta or that Veronese classic, horse!
