  2023 Costeggiola Soave DOC Classico, Guerrieri Rizzardi

  £1795 Original price was: £1795.£1595Current price is: £1595. 11% saving

  From one of the world’s most celebrated white wine regions, the 2023 Costeggiola Soave Classico is a striking expression of the volcanic hillside vineyards of the Costeggiola cru. Planted on the prime slope of the main hill, this vineyard benefits from ideal sun exposure and mineral-rich, stony soils—perfect conditions for growing exceptional Garganega and Chardonnay.

  Hand-harvested from mature vines at optimum ripeness, a portion of the fruit is picked slightly earlier to preserve vibrancy and freshness, balancing the natural concentration and richness of the vintage. Fermented and aged on the lees in stainless steel, without the use of oak, this wine is all about purity, texture, and terroir expression.

  In the glass, Costeggiola reveals aromas of white flowers, ripe stone fruits, citrus zest, and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is textured and dry, with lively acidity, a savoury core, and a long, clean finish. Complex yet approachable, this Soave Classico is both a refined aperitif and a versatile partner at the table.  A natural match for white meats like poultry or rabbit, meaty fish, goat’s milk cheese, and a wide range of antipasti.

  2024 Soave Classico ‘Cuvee XX’, Guerrieri Rizzardi

  £1595

  ​The 2024 Soave Classico Cuvée XX by Guerrieri Rizzardi is a refined white wine that pays tribute to the estate’s 20th-century legacy, as denoted by the “XX” in its name. This cuvée is crafted from select grapes grown in two esteemed cru vineyards—Costeggiola and Ferra—situated on the hills of Cavaion and Bardolino within the Soave Classico DOP area. These vineyards feature soils rich in limestone and volcanic subsoil, contributing to the wine’s distinctive character.

  In the glass, the wine exhibits a brilliant straw-yellow hue with greenish reflections. The nose reveals delicate floral aromas intertwined with notes of fresh yellow fruit, such as pear and green apple, accompanied by subtle hints of citrus and white flowers. On the palate, it is dry, precise, and expressive, showcasing a lively freshness and a well-defined mineral backbone that reflects its terroir. The wine’s light body is balanced by a good density of fruit, leading to a refreshing and persistent finish.

  The blend comprises 70% Garganega, 30% Chardonnay, and 5%. Fermentation occurs in thermo-conditioned concrete vats at controlled temperatures, followed by maturation on fine lees for three months in concrete and stainless steel tanks. This process enhances the wine’s texture and complexity without the influence of oak.

  2022 ‘Edda Lei Bianco’, San Marzano

  £2100

  Edda is an intoxicating blend of Chardonnay, Fiano and Moscatello delivering aromas of sun-ripened peach and mellow floral aromatics, which are interwoven with delicate hints of vanilla. Fresh and beautifully balanced, the rounded palate is elegantly styled and has a touch of minerality on the finish.  It’s one of the best white wines we have tried from Puglia.

  The fusion of time-honoured tradition, passion and contemporary techniques, enables San Marzano to produce wines with distinctive varietal and regional characteristics while reflecting the local terroir.  The vineyard is located at approximately 100 metres above sea level and benefits from great diurnal temperature variation.
  Fermentation took place in French oak barrels. Following this, the wine was matured on its fine lees in barriques for a period of four months, with weekly lees stirring which imparted texture and complexity.
