"It would have the hallmarks of a legend, if it wasn’t true – how a cask of forgotten Recioto dessert wine was discovered in 1936, wonderfully aged into a bold, dry red with a pleasing bitter edge (Amarone is Italian for “bitter”). Our friend Stefano Cesari and his family still create the finest of wines in the hills of Verona – and here, they quite simply prove why authentic Amarone has become one of Italy’s most symbolic wines." John Kirwan

“This grappa-based liqueur is a special gift from the Nardini family. It’s the glass we raise to life’s moments: the start of a challenge, a celebration...It was created in the 18th century, when there was extensive poverty and people couldn’t afford to buy grappa. The Nardini distillery was a well-known place to go for a drink. In those days, the products were kept in large copper containers, each of which had a leaking spout. There was a little pan under each copper to collect the extra drops. At the end of the day, the pans were put into a big barrel with the left-over grappa, named Tagliatella - literally, ‘a cut of everything’ - which was offered to the poor. This is why I love it - it’s the working man’s cocktail...”
John Kirwan
A traditional liqueur, fruity and pleasantly bitter-sweet, Tagliatella is the perfect drink for any time of the day.

BUON OLIO
“When we say someone has the “good oil”, we know that they know what the real deal is. And that’s what you’re holding in your hand – the real deal. Extra virgin oil, cold-pressed from Grignano and Favarol olives hand-harvested in the rolling hills overlooking Verona. Yes, Verona. Romeo and Juliet’s town. And a trusted source informed us this is the very oil those star-crossed lovers used for all their dipping, drizzling and dressing. Lemon-leaf freshness, a balanced spiciness, and a long dried-fruit finish. Ah... you, and the good oil – a match made in heaven.” John Kirwan

The coffees that make up this blend, 90% of which are Arabica, come from Ethiopia, Brazil, Guatemala, and Honduras; while the remaining 10% is Robusta, selected in Flores in the Sunda Islands,
an archipelago that lies between the Indian and the Pacific Oceans.
The very best Robusta coffee in the world is grown there. Its name brings to mind contamination with the exquisite flowers that grow in those lands.
The final result is an intense taste, velvety, with a full body. The slight acidity is balanced and thus offers the cup of coffee perfect balance.
It gives way to a pleasant aftertaste with hints of cocoa and bitter fruit, the persistence of which lengthens with notes of milk chocolate and with the fragrance of toasted bread.

“Legend has it that each morning in Old Venice, a wine vendor would set up his cart at the foot of the famous Campanile in Piazza San Marco... the bell tower in St Mark’s square. Through the day, as the sun beat its way across the piazza cobblestones, he would move to stay in the bell tower’s shadow – ombra, in Italian – making sure his wine kept cool and fresh. To this day, ask any Venetian tavern-keeper for “two shadows” – “Dame do ombre!” – and he’ll know exactly what you mean...two small chalice-glasses of fine Prosecco (you’ll never ask for just one ombra, because it is always to be shared with a friend). Fresh, crisp and dry, this authentic Prosecco from the Province of Treviso is as rewarding as that welcoming patch of breezy shade on a sweltering summer’s day...”

“My wife’s friend Mimmi recently became our local Mayor. And that’s why I now call her ‘Onorevole’ – ‘Honourable’ – since ‘Hey, Mimmi’ doesn’t seem quite as respectful! She’s elegant, stylish, refined... so it’s only fitting we dedicate this sophisticated aperitif to our favourite mayor. Crafted from the wild citrus fruit that thrive on the shores of pristine Lake Garda, this Acqua di Cedro is limoncello when it dreams – sweet but not cloying, warm yet refreshing… it’s as if Italian sunshine has been squeezed into a bottle. So here’s to Her Worship the Mayor – Onorevole!”

"You are holding a treasure of the ages, the Queen of dessert wines, a rare gem of exquisite, crushed velvet texture and a palate brimming with vivid, seductive black fruit and chocolate notes. One sip will tell you why, for centuries, Recioto represented the pinnacle of every Valpolicella winemaker’s range – until one fateful day in 1936 when it was discovered that splendid sweet Recioto, when left, transformed into delectable dry Amarone. Today, the clamour for Amarone consigns original Recioto to a tiny two per cent of each vintage... and that is why the bottle you are holding is, well, very small. Yet so very, very special!"

“There is something wonderful about a beautifully balanced rosé. It’s somehow informal, relaxed... like an open invitation. You could say the same about the word Ritrovo... it’s how Italians describe catching up with old friends. It’s also the place you catch up. And it’s the event when you catch up. Okay... it’s your favourite occasion, your favourite location, and your favourite people, all wrapped up in a single word. Sounds like the perfect time to open this rosé, kick back, and pick up where you left off – share a few more stories, create a few more memories, and just... well... hang out. Ritrovo!” John Kirwan
Original and charming Rosé, from the authentic Manzoni Moscato and Raboso grapes, cultivated in the Piave area between Venice and Treviso. The colour is rosé with violet highlights. The flavour is fresh, dry and pleasantly acid.
