2021 Suavia Monte Carbonare Soave Classico

Soave, ITALY

$64. 99
Bottle
$779.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Stelvin

The Tessari family have been growing grapes in the heart of the Soave Classico area since 1887, however it was not until the early 1980's that they dedicated themselves to producing premium wines from the region's indigenous heroes Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave. Giovanni and Rosetta Tessari built a modern and efficient winery in 1990 underneath the building that has been the Tessari family home, and the facility was designed specifically for the production of white wine with the most advanced technology available. Now run by Giovanni and Rosetta's daughters, Meri, Valentina, and Alessandra, Suavia's focus is on using their state-of-the art facility to express the nuances of their native terroir with both Garganega and Trebbiano.
Monte Carbonare is the name of the hill upon which the vineyard that sources this wine is situated. Produced from 100% Garganega and exposed only to stainless steel in order to preserve freshness, this is a pure expression of the volcanic terroir.
Other Reviews....
Red volcanic ferrous soils with ample black basalt strewn amidst. Suits the later ripening Garganega, while screw cap promotes the freshness sought at this address. 6 ha. 60-70 year vines on a cooler site, rising to the creme of top quality sites as the climate warms. A richer wine than the younger Classico, but without the same sassy vitality. While the Classico is an unbeatable everyday wine, this is a complex wine demanding food and a little more contemplation. Mirabelle, apricot pith, a whiff of dried mango and plenty of smoky, pungent mineral grip, with dutiful freshness towing tenacious length. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

2019 COS Zibibbo in Pithos

Sicily, ITALY

$64. 99
Bottle
$779.88 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Cork

Azienda Agricola COS was founded in 1980 in the town of Vittoria, located in the southeast of Sicily. Championing indigenous grape varietals since their inception, today they are one of the finest producers on the island.
Zibibbo is the local name for Muscat of Alexandria, also known as Moscato d'Alessandria in other parts of Italy. The fruit is grown 12 meters above sea level in Marsala, the Western part of Sicily. Zibibbo in Pithos is a skin fermented white wine, which is aged for an extended period in traditional terracotta amphora vessels. Despite this extended period of skin maceration, the wine remains fresh and vibrant, and does not have the orange hue of other skin fermented white wines. The skin maceration in amphora has provided the wine with a greater sense of complexity and a wonderful textural feeling on the palate.
Other Reviews....
The 2019 Zibibbo in Pithos is exotic and wickedly fresh, as musky dried apricot and tangerine gives way to minty herbs and hints of wet concrete. It’s deeply textural, almost glycerol-like in feel, with masses of inner florals resonating over notes of ripe melon and hints of kiwi, all kept in check by brisk acidity. This is so incredibly fresh and lifted but also lightly structured, tapering off like taking that first bite of a perfectly ripe yellow apple. What a fun wine. The Zibibbo in Pithos is a dry Muscat of Alexandria (known on Etna as Zibibbo) that’s vinified in amphora. Drink 2022 - 2025.

2020 Schiopetto Collio Friulano

Friuli, ITALY

$64. 99
Bottle
$779.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 4 Years (2023-2027)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Mario Schiopetto was the man considered responsible for bringing fame to Friuli’s white wines. He pioneered wine preservation techniques in the wine making process, something lacking in the region in the 1970’s - cold and anti-oxidative handling, epitomised by the German handling of Riesling - along with the more 'French' technique of elevating their wines in a careful, more oxidative, texture-building manner.
Schiopetto’s standout variety is Friulano which sees 7-8 months on lees resulting in a wine that’s rich in texture and flavour with an abundance of wild floral and almond notes on the nose, supported on the palate with rich stone fruits and refreshing acidity.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with green shaded edges and a watery hue. Aromas of pear, lime and green apple gently infused with aromatic herbs are trailed by some stony mineral notes. Elegant and racy, pear and green apple fruits meld into lime, fresh herbs and slatey mineral characters on the back half. Riverstone like mouth feel finishing dry with zippy acidity and a long snappy flinty mineral laced aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Grillo is a grape variety native to Sicily which traditionally was used for the production of Marsala. It’s a late ripening varietal, typically grown on bush vines, and needs a warm to hot climate to prosper – it is therefore no surprise that it has thrived on the sundrenched hills of Sicily for over 2000 years. More recently its potential for creating refreshing dry whites bursting with flavour has come to the fore.
Brilliant pale straw colour with subtle flashes of green around the edges and a watery hue. Lifted ripe pear and dried honey aromas mix with hints of lime, fresh herbs and spice. Intense fleshy pear and lime fruits have a mouthfilling texture underpinned by crunchy green apple, infusions of fresh herbs, quince and wet slate. Finishes dry with crisp acidity and a long moreish aftertaste.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Friuli, in the far northeast of Italy, has a reputation for making the country's best white wines. Winemaker Justin Bubb explains, "The key to this region is the difference in diurnal temperature. In the growing season the days are very warm but the nights freezing. This allows a nice, long ripening and wonderful aromatics for the white wines".
From a 30-year-old site in San Martino al Tagliamento, near Pordenone, the vineyard sits at the base of the Alps and the soils are a mix of clay and alpine gravel from alluvial deposits.
Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Fresh pear and red apple scents mix with hints of dried honey and wet stone. Supple and nicely rounded texturally, the palate is layered with pear and red apple fruits which overlay a back drop of subtle dried honey, wet stone and light spice. Finishes dry with a lick of fresh acidity and a lingering aftertaste.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Other Reviews….
Friuli, 28 year old vines.
Gee, they’ve done very well here. Green melon, pear, cut fennel. Cool feel, a subtle raw almond flavour, fine chalk dust texture, a smattering of perfumed green herb, and a long and lightly grippy finish. Top shelf. Drink 2020-2024.

Cellar: Drink now (2019)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

According to winemaker Justin Bubb the Pinot Grigio from Friuli always has more more textural layers than say the Veneto (highly cropped Pinot Grigio) and Trentino (can be difficult to achieve optimum ripeness) - and a little more skin contact certainly accentuates this.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Showing good elevation are aromas of fresh pear, red apple and honeysuckle trailed by citrus and subtle pebble stone like notes. Light in body but very well rounded and possessing good intensity, the palate is flavoured with pear, apple and subtle dried honey over a citrus and wet stone back drop. Dry crisp finish with a medium to long supplely textured conclusion.

Buy Italian Wine Online.

Many decades ago, Australians were slowly becoming acquainted with mass produced Italian wines that reflected high yields and generally inferior-quality. They were the Lambruscos, Frascatis, Spumantes and Soaves synonymous with cheap & cheerful Italian restaurants. Since the industry has been modernised, the range and (more importantly) the quality of Italian wines has developed exponentially. The very best examples combine distinct regionality with contemporary winemaking flair. Frequently leading the way are small grower-producers at the high end of the passion scale. Nicks Wine Merchants continue to offer a selection of Italian wines as well as traditional liqueurs & aperitifs which you can buy online and have shipped to most areas of Australia.
