TASTING NOTES
Dark, straw-yellow colour. Intense, fine and elegantly fruity bouquet reminiscent of peach, apricot, citrus, fruit and acacia flowers. Fresh, impeccably balanced and very drinkable, with a long, delicate aftertaste.Armit Wines

PIEDMONT
The Italian word "Piedmont" means at the foot of the mountains, and indeed the whole region is dominated by the Alps to the north and the west. Piedmont is home to the largest area of vines which produce DOC and DOCG wines, and the region boasts over 40 denominations. The most well known wines from Piedmont include Barolo and Barbaresco, made from the Nebbiolo grape, and Asti Spumante, made from the Moscato grape. Nebbiolo is the undisputed king of the grape varieties in Piedmont but you should not ignore the lovely reds from the indigenous Dolcetto or Barbera, nor indeed...

2017 Roero Arneis, Bruno Giacosa
Bottle 75cl £25.50
TASTING NOTES
Immediately enjoyable, with a wonderful bouquet of red fruit, floral notes and just a hint of meaty savouriness. The palate is lively and fresh, with silky tannins and just enough acidity to give it a nice little kick at the end. This is the perfect introduction to the house style – elegant, understated and yet full of character. Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
Morello cherry, bruised red plum and rose petal, spill from the glass. Bright fruit intensity is backed up by ripe, silky tannins and wonderful freshness. Drinking beautifully now it can age well for another five years. Truly a baby Barolo from the Maestro’s cellar.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
Dried cherries, raspberries, tobacco and crushed flowers rise effortlessly from the glass. Delicate berry-infusions are contained within a tightly packed tannic structure. But the texture is beautifully silken. Freshness and verve are the hallmarks of this appealing vintage and this wonderful Barolo has it in spades.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
This fantastic Dolcetto is surely one of the best values in the entire Langhe. Perfectly pitched and beautifully infused with youthful ripe cherry and plum. Plump, bold and impressive, there is a sublime freshness here, lifted gracefully by a delicious vein of mineral acidity. It is ideal for drinking over the next two to three years.

TASTING NOTES
Giacosas Spumante is produced using the champagne method using Pinot Noir grapes. Matured on the lees for three years and riddled by hand, this is a softly textured wine with a very elegant mousse. The 2007 vintage has a lovely bready complexity on the nose and the palate is bursting with delicate white stone fruit characters. Delicious with food but...

TASTING NOTES
As always, this Barbera impresses for its sheer depth and charm. It comes from vines close to the Gavarini vineyard. Gianluca employs a very gentle use of barriques to help soften the sharp natural acidity of the Barbera. The result is pure joy. Its mouth-watering, juicy bramble fruits combine on the palate with sleek and softly spiced essence. This is...
