The Fiano grape is pretty well exclusive to Italy's Campania province and to Sicily. Miopasso Fiano comes from Sicily. Golden colour, medium weight; a minerally nose of tropical fruit; richly extracted, creamy mouthfeel with flavours of sweet grapefruit and a savoury finish.
Toronto restaurateur Franco Prevedello's own Prosecco from his hometown vineyard in Asolo. Almost water-white in colour; off-dry with white peach flavours; elegant and refreshing with good length.
Characteristically fresh, lemony Soave nose, with hints of honeydew and wet stone. Crisp acidity balances the panna cotta texture. The 80% Garganega influence exerts itself via the layered citrus, melon and apple flavours, and especially through the almond and lemon peel finish. Antipasti now, please!
Straw yellow. Wet wool and white fruits in a subtly oaky style. Good acidity; a lot of roundness in the middle palate. Slightly tart finish. At 5 years of age, the wine is mature; its components have melted.
The name here is very apropos as this wine is well suited for lighter grilled fare as well as tomato-based dishes. Smooth and easy-drinking, this Barbera serves up dark cherry, plum, anise and cocoa. At this price, 1 bottle can easily become 2 ... or 3 ... especially on the patio this summer.
Elegant with good balance; flavours of cherry and blackberry fruit, a touch savoury, silky texture and bright acidity on the bright finish. Shows great restraint without compromising character. Great with grilled chicken.
Fresh, grapey nose that is quite fragrant, with bright berry fruit, great balance and elegance, fresh acidity, juicy palate and soft finish. Nice match for rice with ground pork.
