Featured wines:

Ariola Sparkling Malvasia 'Forte Rigoni' (Parma)
((Vibrant, dazzling aromas of apricot and white peach encased in a lively, crisp and delicate sparkling wine - Hues of pale straw showcasing tiny long-lasting bubbles - Youthful, racy finish with bright acidity))

Fontevecchia 2007 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi (Marche)
((Refreshing wine of substance - Great example of how good this grape can be - Aromas are a mix of ripe apple, citrus and tangerine, along with an intriguing bit of sweet pea and fresh garden greens - Nicely textured wine with creamy peach and juicy apple flavors that are as elegant as they are charming))

Cascina Adelaide 2007 Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba (Barolo)
((Youthful, spicy tones of gooseberry to dark, earthy fruit and blackberry notes - Suave in the mouth with tannins that float under the plush fruit, kept fresh with nicely balanced acidity that gives good lift to the spicy herbal green tones and mineral notes embedded in the dark cherry fruit - Finish is clean if short with earthy and cherry pit notes - Good depth and typicity))
