The Intrepid Italian Wine Case

La dolce vita, with a twist. Discover Italian wine beyond the usual suspects — this is a journey through some of the country’s more curious corners and cult producers.

Roero Arneis from Piedmont – Floral, almond-tinged and crisply dry – this Piedmontese white is a secret sommelier favourite.

Sesti ‘Monteleccio’ from Tuscany – A baby Brunello with the soul of Sangiovese: cherry fruit, savoury earth, and a whisper of spice.

Ribolla Gialla from Friuli – A rare native grape with citrus peel, white flowers and a clean, mineral finish.

Etna Rosso, Pietradolce from Sicily – Volcanic wine at its finest: Nerello Mascalese grown on Mount Etna’s black ash soils – perfumed, silky and precise.
