Sweet Wines

Those marked * can be made available as part of a bespoke mixed case.

*Moscato d'Asti DOC: Clarte, 2004 (Elio Perrone)

Sweet, bubbly and only 5% alcohol: a traditional Italian pick-me-up.  In the hands of a master such as Perrone, Moscato can be crisp, refreshing and well balanced.  Drink very cold as an aperitif, or with puddings.  A wonderfully light way to start or finish a meal.

£89.40 per case (equiv £7.45 per bottle)

Code: 153

Bigaro Rosato, 2006 (Elio Perrone)

A sensational blend of 50% Moscato and 50% Bracchetto this wine is only made in small quantities but we have managed to get hold of a few cases.  Bracchetto gives the pink and adds a berry complexity to the already beguiling moscato grape flavours.  Low alcohol frizzante which is a wonderful summer dessert wine.

£121.80 per case (equiv £10.15 per bottle)

*Moscato Rosa Lazio IGT: Rosathea, 2000 (Castel de Paolis) - half bottles

We are devotees of dessert, and the whole spectrum of sweet wines, but there are so many out there that are just average.  This is a delightfully subtle, sweet, yet balanced red.  On the nose there is unmistakable Muscat, but melded with some wild rose scents.  In the mouth it is well balanced, completely uncloying and with balancing acidity with a slight smokiness.  Quite lovely.  The producer says this goes with fruit pies or almond biscuits, but we like it on its own.  A real delight.
