“Impetus” Barbera Monferrato DOC 2004 This is the 2nd vintage released by Roberto under the Impetus name and deservedly so, the winemaker has perfected the art of large oak vat production with Impetus Secondus. Nose, structure and taste are all perfectly aligned and although destined for cellar aging this 2004 Barbera d'Asti is drinking very well now (decant two hours before drinking). Will improve for 8 or more years.
£21.99 per bottle (£131.94 - 6 bottle case) - Winemaker - ROBERTO URSCHELER

“Bric del Fruste” – Barbera Monferrato DOC 2001 , The second "premium" Barbera from this winemaker from the excellent 2001 harvest. This wine shares the same vat as Impetus for one year after which it is aged for an additional year in French Alier oak barriques. This wine is great for that special occasion, memorable meal or gift. Drinking well now and will age well for 6-10 years more.

Roero Arneis DOCG 2009 , The "next big thing" in white wine according to the leading wine commentators we chose this one as it is one of our personal favourites. Subtle and hidden depths of fruit and a great aftertaste make this a great white wine to enjoy with those special meals.
