Cortese Alto Monferrato DOC 2008, (still). Our best selling white, this is a crisp fresh and fruity native of Piedmont.

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.

Moscato d'Asti DOCG (frizzante). Made with grapes sourced from the Blades vineyards this is an outstanding example of this light, fruit filled speciality of the Asti zone. 5.5 percent alcohol and sweet on the tongue this is great as an aperitif (think summer weddings) or with desert or the always wonderful ameritti biscuits. Best drunk young for that real moscato grape fruit bomb of flavours. £SOLD OUT (£SOLD OUT - 6 bottle case) Note min order is 12 bottles of any combination of 6 bottles - Winemaker - M&C COSSETTI
