Barolo Serralunga, Ettore Germano, Piemonte, Italy
£35.95
This Germano family has been making Barolo for four generations, stretching back to 1856. The estate lies in the Cerretta Cru, one of the most important areas in Serralunga and they now make some of the best Barolos on the market. Their winemaking is fairly traditional and the Serralunga richness and power comes through clearly.
Like all good Barolo, this needs food to bring out it’s best. Roast & stewed meats (especially game), meaty and mushroomy pasta dishes as well as strong cheeses; in fact Barolo is often at it’s best with simple cheeses.

Valpolicella, Alpha-Zeta
Alpha Zeta was started in 1999 to produce a range of modern, fruit-driven wines from the hills outside Verona. Leading New Zealand winemaker Matt Thomson works with growers (rather than buy bulk wine, which is standard among most wines from Verona at this price) to obtain ripe grapes (by reducing yields and picking later) and then, using Matt’s expertise, preserve these flavours in the finished wines. This has resulted in wines that offer great value, quality, balance and typicity.
The Valpolicella has bright, black cherry fruit and velvety tannins; a delicious wine that is perfect with pizza and light pasta dishes.
