Promessa 2005 Negroamaro di Puglia - Italy

Winery:

Another staff favourite, again, because it overperforms. A blend of southern Italian varieties, this is a lovely, juicy, supple wine; sunshine and warmth in a glass. Mid to full-bodied, and will go well with anything tomato-based, such as a rich pasta dish, perhaps.

Barolo 2005, Pio Cesare - Italy

Winery:

The Nebbiolo grapes used to produce the classical Barolo come from family vineyards around the village of Serralunga d’ Alba. This Barolo is produced through careful blending of grapes from different vineyards. Pio believes that the union of grapes from different vineyards makes their Barolo unique. The grapes from Serralunga give a full body, the ones from Castiglion Falletto offer an ethereal and tempting nose, and those from Monforte provide class and a refined nature. This produces a unique and inimitable wine. It has plenty of fruit character now and whilst the tannins are still strong, they are fine-grained and will quickly start to soften. It will drink increasingly well after another 3 years of ageing, but which will go a further decade or more should you wish.
