Italy

When you say Italy you say Pinot Grigio, luckily Italy has a lot more to offer than just Pinot Grigio. Due to the popularity of Pinot Grigio, Italy represents 22% of the On Trade UK market, and is therefore the second largest Country of Origin after France. It might also come across as a confusing and complicated country. At WaverleyTBS we have erased all the complexity and deliver you two wonderful on-trade exclusive, truly Italian brands. Tasari from Sicily and Trulli, where the grape variety takes the lead.

Tasari

The word Tasari in the dialect of Sicily invites you to stand up, to move: it is the real soul of these wines, lively, dynamic and vital like the sun and land of Sicily.

Tasari – Bianco
The wine shows a strong personality with fruity sensations. Straw yellow with green reflections. Notes of apricots and honey. The palate is soft, full of exotic fruits. Ideal with fish, white meats and fresh dishes.

Tasari – Rosato
Cherry-coloured with an intense fruity bouquet. Notes of strawberry, cherry, raspberry and pomegranate. In the mouth the wine is frisky with a good acidity. Enjoy well chilled with fresh dishes like a summer salad with fish or chicken.

Tasari – Rosso
Deep red with purple reflections. The nose shows the typical terroir of Sicily with notes of plum and black cherries. The taste is well balanced, smooth and easy to drink. Ideal partner with tasty Italian dishes like spaghetti, but also great with seasoned cheeses.

Trulli

A "Trullo" is a small, white-washed, stone dwelling with a conical roof traditionally found in Puglia. "Trulli" simply means more than one of them. This is obviously a great 'home' for these exclusively sourced basket of Italian wines where the grape variety takes the lead, representing some of the diverse regions in Italy.

Trulli – Prosecco
Elegant aromas of pear and apple. A smooth, fresh and well-balanced wine. Enjoy this soft bubbly wine nicely chilled on its own as a good start of a true Italian evening.

Trulli – Chardonnay
Fresh limes, crisp with a hint of apricot and spicy white pepper. Lovely in combination with a nice Italian pasta dish with fresh shell fish.

Trulli – Pinot Grigio
Flowery young aroma with a hint of spice. Dry and crisp with good fruit. Perfect to start your Italian evening with this wine as an appetizer or combine with a shared Italian platter.
