  1. Birra Moretti Stubby
    Birra Moretti Stubby
    Birra Moretti is a genuine beer produced using a traditional process that has remained almost unchanged since 1859. To produce Birra Moretti, only the highest quality raw materials are used and a particular mixture of valuable hops, that gives the beer its aroma and unique fragrance, intensifying the slight bitter flavour. It is a low fermented beer that has a golden colour, the tone of which is given by the quality of malt used.

  2. Peroni Nastro Azzuro 330ml Bottle
    Peroni Nastro Azzuro 330ml Bottle

    Brewed from the finest spring planted barley malts, has a unique balanced taste with a delicate aroma arising from the hops of the most exclusive varieties. Young, balanced and sparkling, Nastro Azzurro is the beer for the knowledgeable and demanding punter. - Birra Peroni Industriale (SABMiller)

    This beer is something special.The first glass I poured for this review could have easily been mistaken for a glass of champagne had it not been poured into a pilsner glass.The beers colour is probably one of the lightest shades of yellow I have ever seen.It’s taste starts off bitter and dry and then transitions into a slightly fruity aftertaste.There isn’t much of a beer smell other than that given off by the hops.Peroni makes for an easy drinking beer.

  3. Fontaleoni Rosato Condorino IGT Toscana 2020
    Fontaleoni Rosato Condorino IGT Toscana 2020

    Fontaleoni is a family estate run by brother and sister team, Matteo and Simona Troiani, with a little help from consultant Paolo Caciorgna. They've succeeded in producing a range that is emblematic of the best of what the region has to offer with particular emphasis on Vernaccia.

    Like all their wines they get the primo treatment in the winery. A blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Merlot this presents with a top note of rose-petal, plum, and wild cranberry. Its bright and crunchy mouthfeel gives way to soft red fruits and that sangiovese sour cherry we all know and love. I don't know why we don't see more sangiovese base rose as they seem to get that balance of savoury and sweet so well, especially when they are pink.

  4. Terre Dei Rumi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022
    Terre Dei Rumi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022

    If you like Sangiovese, you will love this great little drop form Tuscany's next-door neighbour in Abruzzo. Wild black cherry conserve and ground spice with fresh herbs on the nose. The palate follows through with similar spiced black cherry and wild dark forest fruits which are nicely sweet with a layer of fine, rich tannins that buoy the juicy fruit. A great example of this sometimes under the radar region. FEUDI BIZANTINI

  5. Monteguelfo Chianti DOCG 2022
    Monteguelfo Chianti DOCG 2022

    This is one of those "how do they do it for the money and how is it so god?" kind of wines. Chianti from the estates of Andrea Cecchi made from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino, the wine does not see any oak and has a tradiotional leaning and plenty of character, particularly for a wine at this price. The Cecchi family has 125 years of winemaking history and have some excellent vineyards at their disposal.

    This years rendition looks to have a little more fat and plushness on it then last while remaining wonderfully vibrant & fresh expression of Sangiovese. Often wines at this level are a little thin and hard (especially being sangiovese) or overripe but this skirts a beautiful middle ground retaining pillowy fruits but plenty of zing. Some more deep-set dark mixed-berry fruits with just a hint of leather and savoury dried herbs that linger in the background providing some interest and extra diemnsion.

  6. Kris Wines Pinot Grigio 2022
    Kris Wines Pinot Grigio 2022
    Kris is from the Delle Venezie, the historical term for the three regions of the Veneto, encompassing Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Veneto. Always on point the 2022 looks to be the best we have seen and that should prbobably come as no surprise given the team that craft it are from famed estate Franz Haas.

    White peach and crunchy apple and pear to the fore with a gently spiced, quartz/mineral nose. The palate is clean as a whistle with a core of sweet white fruits cut with bright, zippy acidity. At the same time the palate is generous with a lovely textural element that gives it nice weight and punch while always remaining bright and fresh. Another fantastic effort!

  7. Fiore Nero Chianti 2022
    Fiore Nero Chianti 2022
    Spiced cherries, dried thyme, rose petals and licorice lead into a swelling belly of berries and twigs. Its lovely and even keeled in its delivery, a spine of tannins ribs around the core of crunchy dark berries. The bright fruit notes are tempered by a savoury edge while a powdery tail of tannins signs off the wine. This is jaw-dropping value for a Chianti. No need to age this, relish in its youthful immediacy. GABRIELLE POY

    Colomba Bianca Grillo 2022

    Colomba Bianca a wine cooperative that's started operating in the '90s with a focus on research in viticulture and enology aimed at working more and more towards organic and sustainable practices. Good practices allowed Colomba Bianca to become one of the most interesting reality in the wine-making scene of the island.

A reality on the move, open to the world, with solid roots in the land and in the communities.

    Fresh and aromatic, plenty of green pear on the nose with enticing scents of citrus fruit, a delightful hint nuance of sage and mint. Stone fruit, melon and hints of apricot with distinctive crisp acidity and a splash of mineral salinity to make it vibrant on the palate. Delicious summery drink with plump fruit combined with tangy acidity lip-smacking good times.

  10. Fontaleoni Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2023
    Fontaleoni Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2023
    Fontaleoni is a family estate run by brother and sister team, Matteo and Simona Troiani, with a little help from consultant Paolo Caciorgna. They've succeeded in producing a range that is emblematic of the best of what the region has to offer with particular emphasis on Vernaccia which, it has to be said, has been a revelation in the years since we first started seeing them in Australia.

    Bright and somewhat crunchy with a direct line of fresh apple like acidity. Plenty to enjoy here with all the usual elements you would want from Vernaccia of this quality, apple fruit, lemon oil and white flowers along with just enough texture to provide a little tactile interest. Clean and clear cut and something I will be drinking a lot of as the weather starts to warm up again

  11. Vicoletto Nero D'Avola Terre Sicilia 2021
    Vicoletto Nero D'Avola Terre Sicilia 2021
    Made from Nero d'Avola cultivated in northwestern Sicily. The soils are clay and sand, and the climate is very windy, cool, and dry. Small yields and dedicated winemaking combine to produce a wine that is fresh, versatile and enjoyable.

    This vibrant red is bursting with fresh cherry flavour and aroma, and a delicate note of spicy liquorice on the finish. Punchy flavours with pastille red fruits and brisk flourish of crushed rock add a lovely savoury edge with a dollop of dark ground spice. Such a great little drop here that sings with energy and vibrant fruit.

    Fontaleoni Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG 2023

    Fontaleoni is a family estate run by brother and sister team, Matteo and Simona Troiani, with a little help from consultant Paolo Caciorgna. They've succeeded in producing a range that is emblematic of the best of what the region has to offer and packaged it up with some of the besta value coming out of the region.

    Unbelievable value again this year. A bit of white pepper and sour cherry fruit that opens into a slight darker fruit profile in the glass. Same goes on the palate with a little more dark plumb and morello cherry here than in other years. Plushly fruited but all held together with nice savoury tannins and a splash of leathery spice.

    Toscolo Chianti Classico DOCG 2022

    STAGE 1 - HILLY - FLORENCE > RIMINI 206 KM

    The Toscolo label pays homage to all things Tuscan.  Even the name  -  which means Tuscan boy in the local dialect.Toscolo Chianti is a lively and bright, refreshing red made from selected Sangiovese grapes.  A short maceration is followed by six months ageing in large oak barrels; the aim being to preserve fruit character.

    It has classic aromas of violets and red berries with that touch of fresh leather and pepper notes. Soft, rounded and well balanced with red cherry and crunchy red fruits that trail off too a branbly and earthy finish.. 

    After riding though all those vineyards and Tuscan countryside we'll be hanging for a bifsteca Fiorentina and a glass of Chianti.

  14. Drapo Vermouth Bianco
    Drapo Vermouth Bianco

    STAGE 3  - FLAT MON - PLAISANCE > TURIN 230.8 KM

    Born in Turin, the city where the deep roots of Vermouth originated back in 1786. The name "TURIN VERMOUTH" takes inspiration from the historicity of the fine products produced from secret family recipes and the liqueur tradition of the Piedmont capital.

    The production comes exclusively from Piedmontese territory with the main raw material of Artemisia Absinthium grown or harvested in Piedmont, moreover, only sugar, grape must, caramelized sugar or honey can be used as a sweetener.  Composed of at least 50% of wines produced in Piedmont and flavored, even if not exclusively, with herbs grown or harvested in Piedmont. It's pretty special stuff and an obvious choice for Stage 3.

    Now, the question is do you want to just enjoy it on ice with a slice of lemon or do you want something with a little more oomph? Either way, you will love it and while we would prefer the former if we were sitting in some summer Italian sun we might be up for a white Negroni here in the middle of winter. So if that's your bag check out the recipe below. WE've made sure to include Lillet here too so it's the perfect Tour combo of French & Italian!

  16. Curatolo Arini Dolce NV
    Curatolo Arini Dolce NV
    Now this is a Sicilian, family-run winery, and while we might make wry obs when we put the word ‘Sicilian’ together with the word ‘family’, and given that not too far inland is the town of Corleone… the real family story here is the remarkable and durable legacy of the founder, Vittorio Curatolo Arini. In 1875 ‘Vito’ decided to add Arini to his name in order to stand out, as he was about to embark on quite the gamble for a young man. Vito, a generational grape grower, founded his Marsala business by persuading the bank to support his proposal to build a full-on winery amidst the family vineyards on the outskirts of Marsala. Right from the start, Vito did things with care and style, including simpatico building design (rather than merely functional), signalling his serious intentions, and laying the foundations for today’s business. Not surprisingly, he and his Marsala wines did quite well!

  17. Santadi Vermentino Villa Solais 2023
    Santadi Vermentino Villa Solais 2023
    Cantina Santadi, from Sardinia’s southwestern coastal region known as Sulcis, was founded in 1960 as a cooperative of local growers. Under the guidance of Antonello Pilloni, Santadi has become one of Sardinia’s, and Italy’s, finest wineries, with more than 200 growers farming 600 hectares.

    The Sulcis peninsula is, geographically, Sardinia’s most ancient area, rich in archaeological sites, and offers an astonishing palette of variations and contrasts, with coastal sand dunes, gentle hills and inlets, narrow strips of flatland and inland mountains, rugged cliffs overhanging the seas interspersed with silky-smooth white beaches, pine trees, junipers and vineyards. In these sandy soils, pre-phylloxera vines continue to survive and thrive.

    Made with 10% Nuragus, another local variety, this spends a few months maturation on lees, in stainless steel, to give the wine an extra dimension of flavour and texture. Citrus notes and hints of tropical fruit, the palate is minerally and refreshing.

  18. Diego & Damiano Barale Dolcetto 2021
    Diego & Damiano Barale Dolcetto 2021

    Fruit entirely sourced from the Monforte d'Alba Cru of San Giovanni, which lends the wine a darker element and a touch of the more savoury, ironstone character. They are background notes to the brighter, fresher more gregarious elements that come to the fore. There is weaves of spice, rosehip tea. Primary, approachable and oh so drinkable. This is for consumption not contemplation. Not the wine to open while considering Everettian many worlds interpretation (sorry, continuing a theme from previous offers) but one to drink while listening to a solid play list and cooking something fun. Such a graceful and inviting wine this year. Get amongst it. ROSCOE

    Bellenda Levis Extra Dry Prosecco DOC

    Delicate aromas of white spring flower, citrus and exotic fruit lead the nose. The dry palate offers white peach, nectarine and candied almond alongside fresh acidity. KERIN O’KEEFE

    Notes of apple blossom, crushed rocks and ripe pears provide immediate pleasure. The palate is finely composed of airy flavours – lemon sherbert and apples take the lead, alongside slatey minerally flavours. Just when you think it's going to finish a saline twist on the finish delights. It’s a delightful prosecco that will make your afternoon catchup with friends. GABRIELLE POY

    This fragrant, graceful Prosecco is the fruit of a selection of grapes from the finest vineyards in the zone of Cordignano, Sarmede, and Cappella Maggiore in the hills of Treviso. The bouquet is generous, with emphatic notes of Golden Delicious apple, peach, and wisteria, displaying a wonderful balance between fragrance and refreshing crispness. The palate is fruit-forward and smooth, full-bodied and well-structured; overall, it is a harmonious and elegant wine. BELLENDA
