Fizz<br />
Prosecco Extra Dry Sommariva<br />
Sommariva is a family-run<br />
business at the heart of<br />
the best area for prosecco<br />
production, Conegliano-<br />
Valdobbiadene. This prosecco<br />
shows a very delicate perlage<br />
(fizz) with a smooth texture<br />
and an attractive nose with<br />
pear, almond and white flowers<br />
aromas. Ideal with any meal or<br />
moment. Just add friends! Buy<br />

White<br />
Grechetto IGT 2015<br />
Giangirolami (organic)<br />
The Giangirolami family has<br />
been making wine in Lazio<br />
(Italy) for more than 60 years<br />
and since 1993 the winery has<br />
been organically certified. Pale<br />
gold in colour, this wine has a<br />
very intense and interesting<br />
bouquet and a soft palate.<br />
There's a citrus, orange flowers<br />
and creamy finish but with<br />
a great freshness balancing<br />

the richness of the palate.<br />
Try it with pasta carbonara,<br />
omelette, grilled chicken, salt<br />
fish or smoked salmon. Buy it<br />
exclusively at Vinarius, £14.95<br />
Red<br />
Haute Côte de Beaune Rouge<br />
2013 Claude Nouveau.<br />
In the UK, turkey has been<br />
the favourite main course<br />
for <strong>Christmas</strong> dinners since<br />
Victorian times. This year to<br />
match this classic medium<br />
weight (and not very flavoured)<br />
dish we have opted for a classic<br />
pinot noir from a garage-style<br />
producer in Burgundy. This<br />
wine, in fact, is light and fragrant<br />
with a red cherry and violet<br />
nose and an elegant, fresh but<br />
well-structured and tasty palate.<br />
Particular suited to turkey with<br />
cranberry sauce, duck, lasagne<br />
and strong cheeses. Buy it<br />
exclusively at Vinarius, £16.95<br />
Sweet<br />
Recioto della Valpolicella<br />
Classico Sterza.<br />
This red and luscious wine from<br />
Veneto (Italy), made by drying<br />
the grapes during the winter<br />
months in special rooms, is<br />
considered Italy’s finest dessert<br />
wine. It's very dark in colour,<br />
full bodied with a complex<br />
aromas – sweet ripe fruit, an<br />
elegant oak age and a balanced<br />
acidity. The perfect match with<br />
any dark chocolate desserts,<br />
<strong>Christmas</strong> pudding or blue<br />
cheeses (stilton, gorgonzola).<br />
Buy it exclusively at Vinarius for<br />
£26.45<br />
