Two Italian wines from BWG this week, who operate the Spar, Eurospar, Mace and Londis shops. If you are looking for refreshing summer whites, they also have the zippy refreshing Antario Gavi (€13.99) and Château Laubes (€12.99) from Bordeaux, a crisp aromatic Sauvignon with citrus and pear fruits.

Villalta Soave 2021

Light (12%abv) with toothsome refreshing apple and pear fruits and a nicely rounded finish. A perfect summer wine to enjoy solo before dinner, or with lighter fish dishes and salads. €10.99 from select Spar, Eurospar, Mace and Londis.

Villalta Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2018

Some Ripasso can be very rich and full-bodied; this one is more on the elegant side, a medium-bodied wine that combines smooth dark cherry and raspberry fruits with a welcome lightness and a spicy touch. Perfect with chicken or pork dishes. €12.99 from select Spar, Eurospar, Mace and Londis.
