Pinot Gris/Grigio, Lighter/FreshLook here for your zippy, fresh, aperatif wines, the ones that'll slide down all day without going soft on you. A host of crisp Italian whites and tropical but fresh South African chenins dominate, but beware; there are a couple of epic wines in here! The Savennieres is hauntingly light but immensely intense, and the Schlumberger Kitterlé - well, it's the biggest white wine in the list and should be with the aromatics, but it's a pinot gris so must go here. It's the exception that proves the rule, perhaps. |

Vesevo Sannio Falanghina 2008 - Italy

Little-known but high quality variety from Campania in Southern Italy, from one of the region’s best producers; allegedly the variety used in Falernian, one of the most prestigious wines of the ancient world.
