Produced from a mixture of Chardonnay & Pinot Noir this wine is a vibrant pink colour with tiny gentle bubbles. A lovely intermingling of currant & strawberry aromas fill the nose. Hints of spice & brioche add layers of complexity & interest. Ripe & sweet red fruit flavours together with gentle bubbles provide a fullness but also a supple texture to the wine. Bright & pure acidity balances the fullness & leaves the palate refreshed. ...

The chillies were left to infuse & impart their flavour, colour & deathly fire into the vodka, & they've bottled the result.

Flavoured principally with bitter orange, peppermint & gentian, Nardini's Amaro is widely-acclaimed in the north-east of Italy as the finest example of the genre. Enjoyed straight up, or with ice & soda, bitter-sweet Amaro is intensely flavoured, with the peppermint well forward & a delightful liquorice-like aftertaste. The latter is largely due to gentian, a root-based ingredient long-appreciated for its digestive qualities. ...

A smoother & more accessible version of Nardini's flagship ' Bianca' grappa, thanks to its lower 40% abv. While it has a more gentle mouthfeel, Nardini Bianca 40 shares the same floral/vegetal nose & the same taste hallmarks as the 'classic' 50% product that has won Nardini so much global acclaim: layered lemon zest, dark chocolate & cinnamon notes with a dry finish of lemon meringue & jasmine. This 40% grappa 'cut' was originally given as payment to the local DOC winemakers in Veneto & Friuli who provided Nardini with their precious vinaccia (or pomace) but the distiller ceased production when it upgraded its distillery in 1982. It's now back, following demand from export markets for a soft, 'entry-level' grappa, albeit one of great quality & genuine sophistication. ...

Far & away Italy's best-selling premium grappa, Nardini Bianca remains unchallenged as the connoisseur's benchmark. Authentically high in strength, ' Bianca' fills the palate with an exciting sparkle, then
- largely thanks to its fine balance & extraordinary distillation quality
- surprises the drinker with its remarkably gentle follow-through. It's not hard to appreciate why this grappa continues to be valued for its digestive capabilities as well as its excellent flavour. Scored a coveted ' Silver' in the 2006 International Wine & Spirit Competition. Ideal drinking temperature: chilled to between 8 & 10 degrees C (46-50 degrees F) or freezer-chilled. Nose: Initial hint of raclette, jasmine tea, dried lemon zest, lemon meringue, rounded & fruity with acacia honey notes. Palate: smooth, mellow, opening up with jasmine tea, cinnamon, lemon zest, acacia honey & gingerbread, nicely layered with fresh jasmine tea coming back to the fore. Finish: jasmine tea & lemon meringue, with hints of gingerbread & lemon curd. (Tasting notes by Ian Wisniewski, London, June 2003 )
