PROSECCO

Fantinel: One & Only Brut and Rosé Prosecco Prosecco, the new kid on the block, is wildly outstripping sales of Champagne. A fresh and excellent Italian sparkling wine, Prosecco is not only the most fashionable bubbly out there; it’s also more affordable. The family-owned 40 year-old Fantinel winery enjoys the cool air of the Alps and the warm sunshine of the Adriatic Sea, making Fantinel’s Prosecco fresh, crisp, and a pure expression of its origins. One & Only is Fantinel’s latest offering. Limited edition, sophisticated and perfect for the Prosecco connoisseur, this new wine has a supremely pleasurable feel. The Rosé, intense pink from a combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, has a stimulating bouquet and is delicately dry, with notes of fresh berries.

MOSCATO Batasiolo Moscato D’Asti and Moscato

Moscato, Italian word for “Muscat” is an aromatic white grape varietal that is taking the US by storm. It is deemed to be the offspring of the fashionable Prosecco. Floral, often
with tones of orange blossom and peach, this sweet wine can be anything from still to sparkling. The award-winning Batasiolo Moscato d’Asti is a golden dessert wine, with a slight fizz which has tones of peach and apricot. It’s a splendid accompaniment to fruit desserts and stuffed pastry. Californian wine giant E. & J. Gallo is also putting its weight behind Moscato wines and its Barefoot Moscato range epitomizes California cool and relaxed easy drinking.

BAROLO

You had me at Barolo… Like anything worthwhile in life Barolo wines aren’t for everyone, but they are among the great red wines of The Piedmont region of Italy. The words luxury, opulence, and exceptional come to mind when discussing Benidi Batasiolo’s wines. A fine range symbolic of the bond between farmer and vineyard. The Cru of Batasiolo is award-winning and magnificent. Fiorenzo Dogliani, owner of the Beni di Batasiolo winery,travels the globe hosting Barolo white truffle dinners, one of which will be hosted in Antigua early in 2016.
