NV Lalicante, Vino da Tavola. Poggio Argentiera(37.5 cl)
Tuscany, Italy
Gianpaolo and Justine describe their Italian dessert wine as: “Here, we have taken Alicante on its own and put it center-stage, where it can show off notes of liquorice, chocolate and spices, finely woven tannins and fascinating inky colour. Drink it with chocolate desserts or strong cheeses to discover its personality at his best. This is a very labour intensive, hand made wine and so very few bottles are made. This rare wine is only for those seeking something very special indeed.”

2006 Roberto Anselmi, I Capitelli(37.5 cl)

Anselmi has made one of Italy’s leading dessert wines since the late 1980’s. This stunning wine shows intense, rich honey, floral and earth aromas. Full-bodied, sweet, dense and silky, with sultana, spicy honey and apricot flavours giving a long, smooth finish.

2006 Maculan, Torcolato(37.5 cl)
Veneto, Italy 85% Vespaiola, 10 % Tocai, 5%Garganega
Deep yellow-gold. Explosive, rich aromas of mango, acacia honey, dried apricot and raisin. Viscous in its richness, offering very sweet flavors of dried apricot, mango and burnt sugar along with enough acidity to give it focus and cut. Very long and minerally on the aftertaste.

2007 Recioto di Soave La Perlara, cà Rugate(50 cl)
Veneto, Italy 100% Garganega
Considered as Italy’s best dessert wine by commentators, this Recioto is obtained from the best grapes ripened on the Colle Rugate dried on special lattice frames and pressed at the end of the winter. The result is a yellow-golden coloured wine with an intense bouquet and a full-bodied persistent flavour with hints of almond and vanilla. Our favourite dessert wine.

2003 Tokaji 5 Puttonyos Aszu(50 cl)
Hungary
Since 1990 with the collapse of the communist regime, the fortunes of Tokaji have been revived, thanks to privitisation of wineries and foreign investment and it is now producing some of the greatest dessert wine in the world. The wine is rich with apricot and orange peel flavours, lovely honeyed sweetness with balanced and refreshing acidity.
