These Gewürztraminer grapes are left to sweeten on the vine until mid-December, resulting in a decadently rich and fragrant dessert wine from Italy’s mountainous north. It reveals divine tones of apricot, honey, spring flower and jasmine.

A passito-style dessert wine, this is made from Moscato Rosa. It’s fragrant and full of aromas of wild flower, berry, almond and honey.

Girlan is a quality-minded producer from the extreme north of Italy with a beautifully crafted and intense expression of Chardonnay. You’ll get aromas of peach blossom, freshly churned butter and almond nut over a smooth and supple mouthfeel.

There is a lot of plump citrus fruit here such as pink grapefruit and sweet lemon. Green shadings of chopped herb and tomato leaf appear in the background, giving this Italian Sauvignon dimension and personality. It also offers good density in the mouth for possible pairings with fish and pasta.

Indra is a lovely Sauvignon with a smooth, rich mouthfeel and bright aromas of citrus, yellow flower, honey and ginger. This wine would make the perfect pairing partner to creamy shrimp risotto or spaghetti with vongole.

Slightly sweet and chewy, this waxy expression of Gewürztraminer opens with bright tones of exotic fruit, honeysuckle, white rose, dried ginger and candied lemon rind. The aromatic intensity is impressive and the wine is extra creamy and rich on the close.

Better than this producer’s Valdadige Pinot Grigio thanks to its delineated crispness, fruitiness and green apple flavors. A straight shooter that’s fresh and citrusy in the mouth. Imported by Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

This wine offers a nice mix of typical Sauvignon aromas such as fresh fruit, sage and tomato leaf, and also appears less sharp than other versions of the grape with low-key acidity that is never pointed or thorny.
