Italy

The best wines in Italy are a match for fabulous fashion of Milan and the supercars of Maranello. Effortless style comes easy to the Italians and this is reflected in their wines.  Italy is the only country to challenge France on the quality and diversity stakes and recent releases should make their neighbours accross the Alps very nervous indeed.

Our portfolio of Italian wines is a who's who of the great and the good in Modern Italian winemaking, reflecting the geographical extremes of this "land of wine". In Piedmont we work with Gaja and Bruno Giacosa whilst in Veneto we proudly represent the wines of Allegrini and Alpha Zeta.  In Tuscany we would like to draw your attention to the wines of Fattoria Le Sorgenti as well as the grand estates of Querciabella, Ornellaia, Sassicaia & Ca'Macanda.  There has been a quiet revolution in the white wines of Italy no more so than in Soave, lead by Pieropan.  His La Rocca Soave Classico is one of the world's greatest white wines.

Our Italian list is always changing and occasionally wines are secured in such tiny quantities that they could not be added to our list.  Register for our Newsletter and Email updates in order not to miss out. Enquiries to sip@harperwells.com

Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove 2006

Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove 2006

     
     

We have followed this wine from its inception with winemaker Axel Heinz and in our humble opinion is the best Serre Nuove yet. As you may well know the 2006 vintage in Bolgheri (and many other parts of Italy) is truly special and this wine is not only very fine in its own right, but a portend of things to come next year when the “big guns” are released.

Fontanafredda Barbaresco Coste Rubin, 2004
