Our wines
Frizzante
(100% Glera grape variety) Our wine is from a small family vineyard in north eastern Italy. Frizzante means “gently sparkling” and it is the original style of prosecco. Frizzante wine is gentler, easier to digest and goes better with food. Our fizz is intensely aromatic and crisp, bringing to mind yellow apple, pear, white peach, and apricot and tastes fresh, light incredibly moreish!
Pinot Noir
Although not an Italian native grape variety, Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero) thrives in regions all over Italy. Our wine is crystal clear and so light you can see straight through it. This makes it a great wine to have at a party, bursting with fresh fruit and mouth-watering berry flavours it’s the perfect drink to have with friends, at a barbecue. Served chilled if you wish.
This beauty comes from the stunning northern hills of Friuli in Italy. The thing about Pinot grigio is that there is a spectacular difference in the flavour of the wine depending on where in the world it grows. Wines from the Friuli region are characterised by their elegance. Our wine is typically light in colour and body; it’s fresh and vibrant with citrus flavours and a mouth-watering aftertaste.
Merlot
Our merlot is typically Italian in style; smooth, soft and very easy drinking. It is ruby red in colour with generous ripe black and red fruits on the palate, a medium bodied red wine which goes very well with pasta sauces and all kinds of cheese dishes. A crowd pleaser.
Sauvignon Blanc
The majority of Sauvignon Blanc in Italy is produced in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and this is no exception; a fragrant and floral sauvignon with primary flavours of sweet gooseberry, white peach, pear, and orange blossom with sharp acidity and light body.
Rosé
Our rosé is the newest addition to the Wine Keg Co range but is proving to be one of our most popular wines. Italian rosé wines or rosato have a long history in wine-making terms but have rarely made it outside of Italy until now. Ours has had a short time in contact with the grape skins and so it is on the lighter side of the colour spectrum. On the pallet it’s a lovely medium bodied wine, soft, easy drinking with bags of fruity fresh flavour. A perfect aperitif for the summer or with light meals.
Cabernet Sauvignon
One of our favourites. Our cabernet sauvignon has a great splash of black-current and black cherry flavour. It has a deeply intense colour and goes particularly well with a Sunday roast dinner.
