Lamberti 2010 Pinot Grigio

Apple, pear, lemon juice, lime and slight mineral tones dominate the nose of this wine. In the mouth, acidity is lifted and complements the fruit notes. Overall, a very enjoyable glass of pinot grigio.

Vintage: 2010

Price Range: $5-$15

Valentina Cubi 2011 Iperico

When the craving hits for a very savoury, very Italian red, this will fulfill the need. There are aromas of dried herb, juicy red cherry and berry, with hints of violet, leather and clove. The palate is light in body and juicy, with crisp acidity and savoury notes, like dried herb, leather, baking spice, burlap.

Vintage: 2011

Price Range: $15-$25

88 Points

Allegrini 2011 Valpolicella Classico

Sealed under screw cap, this wine has floral aromas, with bright cherry, licorice, a touch of alcohol heat and spice. It is well put together on the palate, with juicy fruit, red berry notes and a touch of bitterness to the tannins. Drink up.

Vintage: 2011

Price Range: $15-$25

90 Points

Tedeschi 2009 Corasco Appassimento Breve Rosso Delle Venezie

This is something a bit different and interesting for the wine enthusiast. The nose is quite intense, with a mixture of red fruit along with very savoury pipe tobacco, leather, tea leaf and burlap. The palate is full, with refreshing acidity and very nice, smooth, savoury, earthy tannins. The flavours of spice, cherry, dried raspberry, licorice, black olive, plum and meaty notes linger on a long and complex finish.

Vintage: 2009

Price Range: $25-$40

90 Points

Allegrini 2008 Palazzo Della Torre

Here's a single vineyard, ripasso style wine that doesn’t quite fit into the DOC due to 5% sangiovese in the blend. There are lots of tea leaf, tobacco, brambly blackberry fruit, cane, licorice, black spice and subtle juicy raisin aromas. It is consistent on the palate, with good structure, bright fruit and well-integrated tannins. Drink now or by 2018.

Vintage: 2008

Price Range: $25-$40

Allegrini 2008 Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico

This wine is beautiful from start to finish, with hints of sweat and leather on the nose balancing coffee, cherry, earth, menthol and plum. Palate-wise, there are lots of mineral and dusty berry notes, with tight acidity and a long elegant finish. Allegrini is going for an accessible style of amarone and succeeds. Drink now through 2020.

Vintage: 2008

Price Range: $80-$100

89 Points

Pasqua 2010 Villa Borghetti Passimento Rosso

This Italian beauty has a meaty, floral and herbal nose, with notes of anise and brambly black and blue fruit. Judges commented on the depth of this wine on the palate, with dense baked fruit, eucalyptus and cherry flavours. The palate is tight, with finely grained tannins and restrained acidity.

Vintage: 2010

Price Range: $15-$25

Cantina Breganze NV Prosecco Extra Dry

Candied lime and herb show right away on the nose of this bubbly, with notes very similar to lemon/lime soda and apple-flavoured Jolly Ranchers. On the palate, it is quite consistent, with a touch of residual sugar. In all, a little flabby, but very quaffable.

Vintage: NV

Price Range: $15-$25

87 Points

Villa Sandi NV Prosecco

The bright fruit aromas of this vibrant bubbly almost scream out sparkling moscato, with rich grapey notes. The palate is true to the nose, with a little residual sweetness. Fresh flavours and generous fruit make for an easy summer sipper.

Vintage: NV

Price Range: $5-$15

87 Points

Mionetto NV Moscato Delle Venezie

Moscato is trendy right now and at 7% alcohol this sparkling version is not only a responsible option, but will also prove very popular. There are small bubbles and aromas of grape, candy apple, lemon sherbet, brown sugar, pear and a hint of petrol. The palate is quite sweet and light in body, with soft bubbles and flavours of apple, pear, honey, lemon and mandarin. A simple, but fun addition to any party.

Vintage: NV

Price Range: $15-$25
