Il Rientro Valpolicella Superiore, La Giuva
£26.95
The estate was founded by Alberto Malesani, famous in Italy as a former manager of both Fiorentina and Parma. While at Parma, he won the UEFA cup in 1999. The name La Giuva is an acronym of his daughters’ initials, Giulia and Valentina, who are heavily involved in the business.
The balance, concentration and aromatic intensity marks the wines out from the crowd in Valpolicella, and makes La Giuva one of the region’s rising stars.
Coming from a small vineyard site, the La Giuva Valpolicella has an aromatic character unique to the cool Squaranto Valley. Made from a blend of the traditional grape varieties of Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta, this wine spends 12 months in new oak barrels.
This is rich, full-bodied and deliciously smooth. An impressive wine with flavours of black cherry and dark chocolate. A great wine for a big juicy steak or meaty pasta dishes.

Soave Classico, Monte Tondo
Monte Tondo is a family estate located in the beautiful hillside vineyards of Soave. Here the soils range from volcanic to chalky, which alongside the varying microclimates, gives the wines distinct flavour characteristics and individualistic style.
Alongside his family, winemaker Gino Magnabosco is part of the third generation to run the estate. They believe that hard work, drive, and determination are key to obtaining the best results from their land. Maintaining, nourishing, and cherishing the land of their ancestors is of utmost importance. And although not certified, they farm using organic practices and an environmentally friendly approach to both viticulture and vinification. No chemicals are used in their production and they recycle everything excess coming from the vineyard (stems as fertilizers, skins for grappa, pruned branches for heating and fertilizer).
Small proportions of other varieties are allowed in the production of Soave, but Monte Tondo focus their concentration purely on Garganega. Garganega is a variety so versatile and easily culinary matched but also with the ability to produce complex wines with age-ability.
A very good example of Soave at a very good price. This over-delivers.. Perfect with salads and light fish and shellfish dishes.
