	Pinocchio 2010 Sangiovese The distinguishing character of Sangiovese, in our view at least, is that of savouriness followed by bitter (morello) cherries - traits which are more than abundant in our 2010 Pinocchio version. There is no “sweetness” on the mid palate such as you might expect from Pinot Noir. The finish is admirably long and tart with that refreshing spine of acidity and firm drying tannins. Goes so well with many Italian dishes. Price : $25.00

	Pinocchio 2009 Nebbiolo Our skill with Italian varieties and our innovative winemaking techniques combine to produce a wine that many a Piemontese would be happy to embrace. Perfumed charaters of violets and black cherries develop in the glass into truffle and forest floor notes. The complex tannin backbone and typical Nebbiolo acidity will ensure continuing enjoyment of this wine over the next ten years. Price : $43

	Pinocchio 2010 Rosato Rose must be one of the great success stories of the last decade; and why not?! It is one of the most versatile and enjoyable styles around, offering as it does a great compliment to Asian dishes or just a refreshing drink on a hot summer's day. The barrel fermentation and extended aging of this wine on gross lees has added a textural complexity that is rarely seen in Rose style wines. Adding to this is a lively core of berry fruit and clean vibrant acidity that is mainly attributable to the use of premium Sangiovese fruit for the wine's production. Price : $23

	Pinocchio 2011 Moscato I have long been a fan of the wonderful wines from Italy known as Moscato D'Asti. They are intriguing for their beguiling nose of lychees and ginger, the delicious frizzante (fizz) they carry and the refreshing spine of acidity that cuts through the sweetness of the unfermented grape sugar. This, our sixth attempt, seems quite credible to us; a fair copy one could say. It can be enjoyed with dessert, a number of cheeses, particularly dolce latte and piccante Gorgonzola as well as pastries and brioches. Price : $25.00

	Pinocchio 2010 Arneis True to the Piedmontese style this wine shows characters of pear juice and fresh apples on the nose, with a mouth filling palate of juicy acidity and a crunchy dry finish. The perfect accompaniment to freshly shucked oysters. Price : $25.50

	Pinocchio 2009 Arneis Cellar Club Offer True to the Piedmontese style this wine shows characters of pear juice and fresh apples on the nose, with a mouth filling palate of juicy acidity and a crunchy dry finish. The perfect accompaniment to freshly shucked oysters. Price : $183

	Pinocchio 2011 Pinot Grigio This wine shows all of the classic 'Grigio' characters both on the nose and in the mouth. Its vibrant yet savoury aromatics of honeysuckle and fresh cut hay are matched seamlessly on the palate by textural flavours of pears and lemon juice. Although this wine will undoubtedly drink well for 3 to 4 years we recommend it is enjoyed sooner rather than later. Price : $25
