The 2005 Torcolato pulls you in with notes of blood orange, gingery spice, dried nectarines and roasted almond. A burst of inner sweetness greets the palate, as a saline core of acids add balance with ripe apple and pear under an air of pretty inner florals. While incredibly rich and fruit-focused, this maintains exceptional balance, leaving the palate with spiced citrus and sour melon tones that last incredibly long. ... More details

The 2005 Torcolato is 100% Vespaiola aged in French oak. This super-rich dessert wine flows from the glass with sumptuous layers of honey, apricot jam, candied orange peel, herbs and flowers. The wine possesses tons of depth and a finish that lasts forever. This expansive, compelling wine is a gem. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015.

Fresh lemon zest character accompanies the syrupy dried fruit and floral notes from start to finish. Full-bodied, with superlively acidity and a toffee and light caramel undertone. Rich and racy. Great with fresh fruit. Drink now. 2,600 cases made, 300 cases imported.
Winery
Intense bouquet with vanilla and golden flesh fruit. Sweet with a medium body and rich mouthfeel but with outstanding balance that shows on the cleansing finish.

Region: Veneto

The wine region of Veneto in north-eastern Italy has long been associated with fine wines, but also with the spirit of innovation which is typical of the region and which made it an important area of Europe throughout history. Indeed, today Veneto's wine-makers are recognized as the most modernized in all of Italy, using contemporary techniques to make the best of the high quality grape varietals which flourish in the region. These include the wonderful Garganega varietal, which is the grape used for the production of Veneto's widely loved Soave white wine, and Glera and Verduzzo, which are both used in more traditional wines of the region. The region benefits from a cooler climate, but one which is sheltered by the Alps, producing balanced and consistent climatic conditions ideal for viticulture.

Country: Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
