ITALIAN RED AND WHITE WINES

Amarone

Unique to the Valpolicella region of Italy, and using sun dried grape, our Amarone is packed with rich raspberry, blackberry and cassis flavours.  Deep, dark and inviting, the finish is long, lingering and full of ripe tannins.

Barolo
Deep in colour and high in tannin, full-bodied and robust - its intensity will roll thickly over your palate.  Oaking is recommended.

Chianti
This is arguably Italy's most world famous wine.  Aggressive in nature, it is crisp, clean and spicy with a subtle black pepper flavor.

Valpolicella Ripassa
Italian winemakers have been using dried grapes to enhance their wine for centuries.  The Valpolicella varietal is one of the most famous wines enhanced with fermentation on dried skins.  You will discover that fermentation with the proprietary Genuine Winery Grape Skins brings out the wine's firm tannins, supported by dark fruit tones and smoky undertones.  The result is an Italian classic with all the makings of a powerful full bodied red wine.  The aroma in the glass is reminiscent of farm fresh cherries backed by streaks of dark chocolate and toasted oak, which ages well into a wine of award winning potential. 

PERFECT FOOD PARTNERS: Rich foods like chargrilled pepper steak, well-aged cheeses, slow braised baby back ribs

Grand Cru Valpolicella
This is an intense, deep-coloured red wine.  This wine boasts a velvety yet fruity flavour, with a long lingering finish.  This wine is excellent when young, better with age.

REDS

Pinot Grigio

Exquisite balance of citrus fruit and acidity is the foundation for this ever popular Italian white wine.  The bouquet reveals bright citrus and green apple aromas with honeydew tones.  The balanced acidity gives it a great refreshing and crisp quality, with a touch of light spice.  Medium to full bodied, it makes a great pre-dinner sipper or a refreshing wine on a hot afternoon. 

PERFECT FOOD PARTNERS: Cedar plank grilled salmon, steamed mussels, chicken Florentine
