Il Papavero - £5.79
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
This fabulous wine, loved by all, is made from the juiciest red grapes cherry-picked in the 'heel' of Italy. Show judges and writers are all smitten and just can't get enough of it! Papavero's remarkable popularity is down to two simple things: hugely seductive, soft black-cherry flavours and fantastic value for money. As one wine writer famously stated ''if all table wine were this good, no-one would ever leave the table!'' Smooth, velvety black fruit flavours, with an enticing hint of spice from the dash of Sicily's Nero d'Avola grape. Delightful with pasta and cheeses ... or simply enjoyed on its own!

Villa Fiori Bianco - £5.79
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Made from a mouthwatering combination of Sicilian Greganico and rounded Chardonnay from Italy's Abruzzan coast - this whistle-clean white is one of the best-value wines in our cellars! Young winemaker Scipione Giuliani was keen to make a blend he liked (subject to our approval!) and not be constrained by appellation laws, hence the humble Vino di Tavola status. Excellent with fish in lemony sauces (or just to perk up the cold turkey platter), Villa Fiori's pale lemon colour exudes a simple slightly grassy nose and has a fresh, clean palate, hinting of ripe, floral peach. Very good as a lunchtime aperitif too.

Reserve de la Traverse 2006 - £5.79
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
