ITALY
Italy is a wonderful patchwork quilt of a country with incredible regionality and local traditions. Nowhere more is this apparent than in the rich profusion of indigenous grape varieties that grace the slopes and plains of many of Italy's wine producing regions. Wine production in the country dates back over a thousand years but it wasn't until relatively recently that a wave of young producers started to turn their attention to producing eye catching fine wines. Some did this by introducing international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay but others have worked hard with their native varieties to showcase just what a wealth of riches the country has to offer. This has had a profound effect on all aspects of Italian wine production and some would say that this is its golden age, with high quality available from house wines all the way up to the great wines of Barolo, Chianti and Brunello.
We are proud to represent some of the true icons of the Italian wine scene and with the recent run of fine vintages there has never been a better time to discover some of these gems.

TASTING NOTES
Subtle, elegant with floral and fruit-led aromatics. Distinctively fresh-tasting and long-lingering. Thanks to the grapes in the blend, Mon Blanc is a classic with fish, such as whitebait, breaded and fried sardines or anchovies, raw fish and oysters. Racy acidity makes this an excellent aperitif wine.

TASTING NOTES
Every year this fantastic rosé is a favourite of Armit Wines’ staff. Soft ripe nectarine, raspberry coulis and cranberry combine to create a wonderfully summery, attractive wine with vibrant crunchy redcurrant acidity. Dry, crisp elegant and full – the finish is long with a hint of soft orange peel which lingers. This will undoubtedly be a sell out yet again.

TASTING NOTES
Vivid yellow straw colour with soft greenish hints, the typical bouquet of tropical fruit and citrus notes with a distinguished Mediterranean flavour (sage fragrancy). On the palate this wine is silky and well balanced by a moderate alcohol content (12,5%), good salinity and freshness notes. It matches very well all fish-made dishes, any white meat or it can be simply savoured...
