Initial aromas for this Prosecco by Pizzini include yeasty and melon notes, as the wine opens up in the glass the nose smacks of citrus blossom, fresh lime, Wisteria flower and green apples. It is refreshingly fizzy with gentle, lemony acidity.

Arneis, a crisp, crunchy, spicy Italian white originating from Piedmont, Italy, traditionally made without oak. Dal Zotto are owned and managed by the Dal Zotto family where their vineyards, winery and cellar door lie cradled in the tranquil King Valley in the foothills of the spectacular Victorian Alps of northeast Victoria. Their Arneis shows all the trademark lifted aromatics and crunchy acidity of its Italian cousins. Enjoy with great company and a plate of seared scallops.

You'll enjoy sipping this lip-smacking Victorian Grigio. It's crisp and refreshing with lifted aromas green apple and nashi pear, with lemon and white flowers. It's bright, balanced citrussy palate is very refreshing. If you’re travelling to northeast Victoria, All Saints with its hand-built castle is “a must-stop for any visitor in the region... owned and managed by 4th-generation Brown family members Eliza, Angela and Nick.” (Halliday).

Great for any occasion, Aussie Prosecco from the King Valley often shines. Perhaps no surprise as the region is home to many winemakers with Italian family backgrounds. This is a nicely-balanced, elegant, Italy-meets-Aus fizz, that lends a celebratory air to everyday occasions.

Dal Zotto Sangiovese is mid garnet with a purple hue; the savoury bouquet is immediately reminiscent of Tuscany with briary red fruits, sour cherry in particular, sage and thyme and a little earthy complexity adding interest; the palate is medium-bodied and fleshy on entry, with the crunchy tannin and acid of the variety providing an engaging and savoury platform to conclude; will handle a huge array of flavours, from light to full blooded.

The Wildflower range of wines from Billy Button offer exceptional value for money, wines that are multi-grape blends, that deliver just what you expect and so much more for the price-point. A blend of Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera, Jo Marsh is spot on in creating this wine exclusively from Italian varieties. If we’ve said it 100 times, we’ll say it again, Italian red grapes simply make the most interesting rose wines going. Colour: Pale salmon, spot on with what people seem to always go for. Cherry blossoms mingle with blood orange pith, and warm spice aromas, check. The palate is textural and mouthcoating yet finishes dry and savoury. You couldn’t want for more in a value bottle; a wine that is well made, priced right, and hits all the notes we love about rose.

The 2024 Pizzini La Famiglia Arneis from the renowned King Valley in Victoria is a true gem. With its pale straw color and hints of green, this wine is immediately alluring. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peach, citrus, and honeysuckle blend perfectly with subtle notes of almond and honey. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and refreshing, with a medium body and crisp acidity. Flavors of juicy pear, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage truly captures the essence of the Arneis grape, showcasing the pure fruit flavors and elegance this variety is known for. Enjoy this wine with seafood dishes or on its own as an aperitif. Cheers to the Pizzini family for another exceptional vintage!

Fred Pizzini grew up in Italy and is bringing the taste of his homeland to the Australian dining table. His Sangiovese is one of the best examples in the country, with spicy, savoury fruit hiding a vein of mouth watering acid that is a hallmark of the variety. Delicious now - and will get better with bottle age!
