Garden of Italy tasting notes

MONTAIA PIGNOLETTO VINO FRIZZANTE, ROMAGNA, ITALY (12.5%, £13.50)

A softly spritzy sparkler with the scents and flavours of fresh pears and red apples. The Pignoletto grapes for this grow in the relatively cool Imola hills of Romagna, balancing the fruitiness with a refreshing edge and light bubbles. The finish is dry and elegant – a definite step up from everyday Prosecco.

MONTAIA RUBICONE CHARDONNAY, ROMAGNA, ITALY (13%, £12.99)

An unoaked but complex Romagna Chardonnay, rounded with a buttery note and creamy texture. The flavours of ripe orange and baked apple are long and satisfying – this is a white that demands food, especially chicken, salmon or a rich parmesan risotto.

MONTAIA RUBICONE SANGIOVESE, ROMAGNA, ITALY (12.5%, £9.99)

Red cherries and freshly picked strawberries leap out of the glass in this refined and elegant Sangiovese. It's tangy with a subtle edge of tannin, a versatile wine which can be enjoyed on its own or with roast poultry or lighter pasta dishes. It could be chilled to bring out its succulent fruitiness, especially in hot weather.

MONTAIA RUBICONE CABERNET SAUVIGNON, ROMAGNA, ITALY (13.5%, £13)

This wonderfully aromatic and smooth Cabernet is made from grapes grown in Montaia's own vineyards in the Cesena foothills overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Look out for plenty of juicy cassis and blackberry, soft tannins, and some savoury notes with twists of pepper and sweet spices like cinnamon.
