Winter Wine Tasting 2012

A huge thanks to all of our guests for making our annual Winter Wine Tasting yet another great success.

Joining our 100 customers for the evening were Luisa from Cantine de Gregorio and Hugh from Val di Toro. Both producers are new to the list of Ricco.

The night began with a glass of Althea's Prosecco Frizzante, a perfect aperitivo.

A further 9 wines were enjoyed by our guests alongside an excellent 4 course meal from Janie and her team at Blue Fig Catering.

All the wines were very well received, but particular praise was reserved for; the 'Rahana' Inzolia from Gregorio, both the Vermentino and Morellino di Scansano from Val di Torro (very classic Tuscan examples from Vermentino and Sangiovese). The Rosa di Nero and Magaria Rosso also proved extremely popular, so much so that the demand for the Magaria Rosso (Nero d'Avola/Cabernet) has cleaned us out! Back in stock soon.

To finish the evening we broke out the Albana di Romagna Passito, another great reaction from our ever discerning customers. An excellent combination with Janies' Meringue with frangipan and winter fruit compote. A lot of wine for £14.95 and drinking beautifully now. Perfect for Christmas and New Year.

Always fantastic to see so many old and new faces. Thanks also must go to all of the staff who helped to create such a wonderful evening, not least Mark 'Swifthands' Bamford (KP)!

Don't forget, top up for the Party Season with Ricco, join us for one of our FREE tastings this December; Saturday 8th, 15th and 22nd, 10am - 6pm.

Short of time? We can deliver or dispatch any order. Free Local Delivery.

Need advice for food/wine matching? Come and see us at the shop.

Thanks again everyone,

Salute'!

STOP PRESS

Coming soon: 'Capotesta Rosso', the best Primitivo we have tasted in a good while. Another hit from Angelo at Cantine Paradiso - this is certainly a wine to stock up on. Drinking now, but will age for several years.

Selborne Wine Society 2012

On Tuesday Ricco had the pleasure of hosting yet another excellent wine tasting with the wonderful people of Selborne Wine Society. 

To accompany our 8 fine Italian wines, a team from the society cooked up a very fine selection of antipasti.

Wines tasted on the evening were; 'Nerodise' Rosato Spumante, 'Salapia' Bombino Bianco, 'Versure' Fiano, 'Le Fossette' Falanghina, 'Secondopasso' Nero di Troia, 'Capoposto' Negroamaro, 'Terraferma' Rosso Primitivo/Nero di Troia and Albana Di Romagna Passito - a fantastic white dessert wine.

The winners of the evening? 

- Best value for money: 'Secondopasso' Nero di Troia.
An excellent medium-bodied red for everyday drinking. My favourite at the moment!

- If money were no option: 'Terraferma' Rosso 
Drinking now, will age. Very well made with elegant fruit on the nose and palate. A lot of wine for £14.95!

Both of these wines would make perfect choices for Christmas.

So yet another victory for Mr Angelo Paradiso at Cantine Podere Belmantello. Keep up the good work! 

Also great results again for Alberto Longo, with his 'Le Fossette' being the most popular white of the evening, great remarks also for his 'Capoposto'.

Always a pleasure to visit Selborne Wine Society; a very active, friendly group with a great mix of people. Why not join them for a meeting? See their website for details.

Thanks again to everyone that made it such a good evening, hope to see you again soon!

Queen's Jubilee Weekend - June 2012

A huge thanks to all that joined us at Ricco for our tastings last week, we had a busy weekend and really enjoyed your company.

As ever, the "Chloe" Spumante from Althea was very popular. The new vintage Pignoletto was also a real winner - a very food friendly white wine. The new "Lorenzo" Piemonte Cortese also received a very positive response; this is in every respect a Gavi, but cannot be named as such because it has a screwcap closure.

Going south into Puglia, the range of wines from Alberto Longo were universally enjoyed for their style and quality; in particular his "Le Fossette" Falanghina - a very impressive premium white wine from 100% Falanghina. A wine traditionally matched with seafood, white meat and fresh cheeses.

Something (almost) as popular as the wine was the arrival of Mark and Nicola in their classic Ferrari Testarossa, Mark would do anything to outshine Trevor in his Renault Kangoo van!

As for the reds, the wines of Petrigama continue to delight, the Rosato, Aglianico and Nero di Troia. Take advantage of our June promotion; 15% discount on this fantastic range!

Our new addition from Tuscany, the "Camponovo" 100% Sangiovese from Tenuta di Sesta - a wine of great character and drinkability, offering versatility with foods; salamis, steaks, roast meats, lasagne and young cheeses. Watch this space for other new wines from this excellent cantina.

Another new addition to our list is "Scassa" Barbera d'Alba Superiore from Grimaldi Bruna. An excellent example of Barbera with a great balance of fruit and rounded tannins.

To complete the weekend, the "Albana Passito" dessert wine proved popular for those indulging their waist-lines, no offence intended to the officers from Sandhurst who found this particularly appealing! For those needing to accommodate both chocolate and cheese, we advised the "Il Griccio" red dessert wine from 100% Syrah from Alberto Longo, well done Alberto!

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR RICCO'S EXCLUSIVO EVENINGS - DATES SOON TO BE ANNOUNCED.

Puglia 2012

Early last week, Messrs Ford and Davies of Ricco Wines were fortunate enough to visit the Italian region of Puglia.

The purpose of our trip was to visit the cantinas of two new suppliers; "Podere Belmantello" and "Azienda Agricola Tarantini", both of which produce wines of excellent quality and provenance.

Escaping the snow and freezing weather conditions of England, we arrived in Puglia on Sunday afternoon. Exiting the aeroplane we were immediately hit by the intense heat of Southern Italy (temperatures were approaching 10 degrees Celsius) and we made our way to the beautiful town of Corato where we were to stay.

On Monday, with the snow falling (Puglia's first significant snowfall in a decade!) we travelled into the countryside to visit the winery of Tarantini. At present they produce 3 wines; A rosato of Bombino Nero, and two reds - a Nero di Troia and an Aglianico.

We tasted these throughout the day and they are truly excellent wines, we also tried some of their 2011 vintage (still maturing in stainless steel casks) and even for young wines they are already showing real character and promise.

The following day we journeyed to Cerignola, another fine Puglian town. Here we met Angelo and Daniele of the cantina "Podere Belmantello" who produce a fantastic range of regional whites and reds, including (amongst others) a white Fiano and reds from Primitivo and Negroamaro. Pictured (left) is the entrance to their their impressive new tasting room.

We had an great time in Italy; the wine, food and hospitality were faultless and we are proud to announce that within weeks we expect to receive our first consignment of wine from both producers. Watch this space!

Salute!

UPDATE: Ricco is delighted to tell you that Nadia Tarantini (of Az. Agr. Tarantini) will be joining us at the Farnham Wine Festival on March 10th 2012. Yet another reason to visit www.farnhamwinefestival.co.uk to buy your ticket - just £15!

New wines, Trevor learns to Skype and Farnham Wine Festival

As we begin to finalise our list for 2012, we can already announce a number of new wines, from a number of new cantinas, that will be available from Ricco in the very near future.

Within the next few weeks we will be receiving our first delivery of Barolo and Nebbiolo d'Alba from our friends at Cantina Bruna Grimaldi (see their sparkling new website here). We tasted their wines when they visited us in the summer and not only is the quality excellent but the price will be too!

We will also be stocking some wines from a cantina called Spinelli, their Sangiovese and Pecorino are both highly drinkable (and affordable!) - but retain the provenance and quality that Ricco demand.

In its never-ending search for excellent wines at great prices, Ricco Wines now has another weapon in its armoury - video conferencing! Throughout this week we have unleashed the devastating force of Trevor 'Adonis' Ford via webcam, securing yet more excellent new wines from new cantinas.

From the Puglian cantina of Paradiso we will be importing a number of very regional styles of red and white wines including Bombino Bianco, Fiano, Negroamaro and Primitivo. The winemakers from this estate were here with us last week and we rounded off their visit with a very successful and enjoyable business lunch at the Queens at Selborne.

Also confirmed this week was a new collaboration with a cantina (also in Puglia) called Azienda Agricola Tarantini; including a rose' from the Bombino Nero grape and two reds -  a Nero di Troia and an Aglianico. We first met Nadia of Tarantini at a tasting in London last year, her wines are very impressive - another little gem in Puglia!


Nadia Tarantini will be joining us for Ricco's table at the Farnham Wine Festival on Saturday the 10th of March 2012. Tickets are just £15 which includes tasting food, live music and a chance to sample up to 80 wines! See www.farnhamwinefestival.co.uk for more information.

December @ Ricco


Well it’s nearly here now; have you considered your wines for the festive period? If not, log on pick up the phone, or come and see us at the shop!

We have tastings throughout December - every Thursday, Friday and Saturday until Christmas eve. A good chance to taste and leave with perfect wines for your menus and parties! To mention just a few, our Frizzante and Chloe Prosecco’s are perfect for aperitivo and many food combinations. The Gavi, Pignoletto andAlbana can cater for all the normal requirements of a white wine - Smoked Salmon, all fish and shellfish, vegetables and white meats.  Our Codronchio (a late harvest wine) derived from the Albana grape is just perfect for sashimi and carpaccio of fish, pasta with cheese - also perfect with the cheeseboard! A little ‘outside the box’ but try it, it really works.

A white with the Turkey?

Try our Giocheremo Con I Fiori, a 100% Pecorino, with fruit and acidity levels perfect for the flavour combinations  of traditional roast Turkey.

Reds?

For an easy drinking, highly versatile red wine why not try our Rosso Piceno from 60% Montepulciano and 40% Sangiovese. A little more complexity? Try our Le Morine, a top quality and well-rounded 100% Sangiovese. If you are having red meat this Christmas consider our Capoposto from 100% Negroamaro grapes, or Parco Marano from 100% Nero d’Troia.

Having game?

Seriously consider our Castaroto 2007, from a blend of Corvina, Oseletta, Raboso and Cabrusina.

For the cheese, well worth considering Rubbjano - 100% La Crima di Morro d’Alba, Renzo a Cabernet/Merlot blend from Bolgheri or Amarone Paverno.

Something for you sweeties?

AlbanaPassito - a dessert wine from 100% Albana. A real classic from Luciano Zeoli. If you want something really exclusive then you must have our Visciola, a rare and limited production wine made from white cherry, courtesy of winemaker Piergiovanni Giusti. At home with desserts of chocolate, cherry, biscotti, or just sip on its own with friends and family.

This is just a few of the wines that truly compliment Christmas and New Year. For more information on food/wine matching, come and visit us - we are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10am-8pm.

Alberto @ the Hardwick

Earlier this week Ricco had the pleasure of welcoming one of our wine makers, Alberto Longo from Puglia in the heel of Italy.

Arriving on a damp English Monday, Alberto visited Ricco's outlet before enjoying a lunch at the Spread Eagle, but found warm English beer a challenge! Later in the day we dined with Roberto and Lorenzo at Bar Centro, Guildford; we enjoyed a very good calamari fritti followed by risotto con tartufo. The tartufo (truffle) being English, from a nearby woodland - the location of which Roberto wouldn't disclose. We finished with a trio of desserts: chocolate panna cotta, tiramisu and semifreddo. Another good evening at Bar Centro.

Alberto having been accommodated overnight at the Hawkley Inn (very comfortable indeed), we set off the for the Hardwick in Abergavenny. Usual warm welcome from the team at the Hardwick and we set about arranging the Italian evening, a tasting of 5 of Alberto's wines, accompanying a 5 course Italian tasting supper.

The evening was ably assisted by the quality of Stephen Terry's food and the instant rapport between Stephen and Alberto - each being masters of their craft. In all a very successful evening at the Hardwick, much enhanced by the warmth and generosity of Stephen's staff.

Alberto and I were lucky enough to share a table with 2 of the Hardwick's suppliers, Amanda Stradling of Veggies Galore - supplier of organic vegetables and flowers to the Hardwick and Pasquale - an 83 year old Italian originating from Campania, supplier of soft-fruits and highly talented accordion squeezer.

I returned Alberto to Heathrow the following morning to witness a very Italian confrontation between Alberto and the Al Italia check-in staff, words and hands in full flight!

Sad to see Alberto leave after such a successful and rewarding visit, thanks Alberto!

Tasting With The Hens

On Saturday Trevor was lucky enough to be invited to Munden House, Sherborne to run a tasting for a Hen Party of 14 very lovely ladies!

Alongside Annie's food we tasted 5 of Ricco's fine Italian wines; Chloe Prosecco, Albana di Romagna, Giocheremo Pecorino, Sangiovese di Romagna, L'Intruso and Visciola. All were very well received, but after a show of hands, the Chloe was declared the winner - a great example of a dryer style of Prosecco from the Althea cantina.

Not only was this group a great pleasure to be with, but I was highly impressed with the diversity and quality of their collective palate. The views and feedback made this a truly thought-provoking and special tasting for me, highlighting once again the individuality and excellence of modern Italian Wine.

Colin and Annie's presence and level of service make Munden House a very warm and intimate environment, spoiling quests with their attention and quality of accommodation. The package is rounded off with fantastic food, wine (sourced from Ricco) and a wonderful location - Ricco highly recommend a visit.

Ricco's Winter Tastings

Heading towards the Christmas period, Ricco is set for a busy session of tastings.

On the 27th October Ricco is off to the The Purefoy Arms at Preston Candover for an evening with Hampshire's Women In Business group. Guests are set to enjoy a 2 course meal accompanied by a tasting of Ricco's Wines. The excellent food, ambiance and service found at The Purefoy is due to the husband and wife team of Andres (chef) and Marie-Lou (front of house), who have recently scooped Hampshire Life's Pub of the year 2011. A great country pub venue; so if you require good food, ambiance and some of Ricco's Wines I strongly suggest you pay them a visit.


Next, on the 29th of October Ricco will be at Munden House in Sherborne, Dorset; A hen party will enjoy Trevor's undivided attention for a lunchtime tasting of Ricco's Wine. A top quality Bed and Breakfast owned and personally run by two of Trevor's great friends, Colin and Annie. For a quiet, quality break, Munden House is perfect - as is Colin's front of house and Annie's cooking! A good range of Ricco Wines can be found on the wine list here.


November begins with a trip across the border to Welsh Wales on the 8th, for an Italian wine tasting and supper at the Hardwick at Abergavenny. Accompanied by winemaker Alberto Longo, Trevor will present five of Alberto's wines, accompanying a superb five course Italian menu, courtesy of chef / owner Stephen Terry ably assisted by his wife Jo. The whole team here are rightfully very proud of their achievements and it is venue that I personally find very difficult to leave.


The 18th of November finds Ricco at the Unicorn Inn, Heyshott. New to Ricco, the Unicorn commands a good reputation locally for its food, wine and hospitality. Head chef, nicknamed 'Bird' will provide a tasting menu to match Ricco's Wines. Tickets are available, call 01730 813486 for more information. We look forward to being there.

Topping off November Ricco will be hosting its annual Winter Wine Tasting on Saturday 26th of November at Grayshott Village Hall. As always, guests will enjoy a sit-down four course meal, preceded by a Prosecco reception and then a tasting of 10 red and white wines, in the company of guest wine makers. A great chance to catch up on some new wines and vintages, a perfect occasion to stock up for Christmas and New Year - a 5% discount will be offered on purchases of 12 or more bottles. Tickets are £27.50 per person and are available from our shop on 01730 894751 or Email trevor@riccowines.com.

On the 10th and 17th of December (10am-8pm), Ricco invites customers to join us for an informal tasting of our range of wines; wines for your Christmas and New Year, gifts and advice for perfect food and wine matching - achieve top marks, even from the mother-in-law!

Early greetings for the season,

Trevor and the team at Ricco.

Friends of Ricco - The Hardwick

The Hardwick at Abergavenny


Having dealt with the Hardwick for upwards two years, it’s always a pleasure to deliver wine to this top restaurant - Michel Roux Jr's favourite in Wales! Nestled in the rolling hills just two miles from Abergavenny, this restaurant (with accommodation) sources locally produced ingredients of the highest quality and is owned by Stephen and Jo Terry. Stephen won his first Michelin star aged 25 and at the Hardwick has created a restaurant of genuine quality, hospitality and inspiration. From a well-chosen menu, bolstered by an equally knowledgeable wine list, Stephen and his team have created an absolute gem with the Hardwick.


In a nutshell, if you are in this area and wanting good food, some great Italian Wine (from Ricco of course) and perhaps accommodation, a visit here is a must. Since supplying the Hardwick I have even been able to overcome the emotional trauma of the Welsh occasionally beating the English at Rugby.


A recent highlight was the experience of Stephens' rump of Lamb with Black Olive Gnocchi, accompanied by a glass of Piergiovanni Giusti's L'Intruso - one of our wines to be found on Stephen’s wine list.

Ricco's Winemaker of the Month: Piergiovanni Giusti


Piergiovanni Giusti is a man of considerable warmth and humour. Married with a wife and three children, he is deeply rooted to the culture and wine making traditions of Le Marche. In his company his presence and wit are infectious and the hospitality of the Giusti's is of the highest quality - the food is well worth a detour, salute!

Based in Le Marche, the winery of Piergiovanni specialises in the wines of La Crima di Morro D'Alba. This is an ancient, red grape variety particular to the sub-zone of Morro D'Alba, producing wines of great character and quality and of a style of its own.

Cantina Giusti produce several styles from this remarkable grape variety:

The base La Crima for everyday drinking - brilliant with salami, terrines, all meats and game and meat based pasta.

Rubbjano - a complex, full bodied red wine that has an intense bouquet of rose petals and brambles, mouth filling fruit on the palate and long aftertaste, perfect for a Sunday roast, lasagne or cheese. My preference here would be semi-mature goats cheese.

L'Intruso is a wine of 40% La Crima D'Morro D'Alba, 30% Sangiovese, 20% Montepulciano and 10% Merlot, and is named 'The intruder' because of the 10% Merlot included in this simply stunning, very drinkable medium bodied wine. Good bouquet and an abundance of soft fruits and tannins - we have never had such a response to a wine.

For someone with a sweeter tooth Piergiovanni hasn't forgotten you, Bollanera - a semi-sweet, semi-sparkling wine of just 8-9% alcohol, just perfect for a summer pudding, tiramisu, oven baked peaches or even as an aperitivo! But for a more complex dessert, the La Crima Passito is simply brilliant, or just sip on its own at the end of a meal.

The Giusti cantina will be one of the wineries that we will visit with Ricco in our forthcoming wine tours.

Taste of Italy Weekend

Corks popped, wine flowed and orders rushed in as Ricco hosted its annual Taste of Italy event last weekend.

With more than 40 top quality wines available to taste and plenty of thirsty customers, it's no surprise that demand was high and we are now busy restocking the cellar!

Alongside the wine, customers also had a choice of food - Mary's biscotti and Valeriana's Ciabatta were joined by authentic cheeses, pasta, Olive oil and premium balsamic vinegar.

On Sunday we were very pleased to be joined by Jonathan and Roberto from Shardana, (top of Guildford High St) - authentic Italian food and great ambiance, Ricco recommends a visit!


Thanks to all that attended, we enjoyed it immensely and it was great so see such a good turn out - we will announce the winners of the competition shortly.

Off to the bottle bank now, followed by supper and a glass of Mazzamurello

Thanks again,

Trevor.


P.S. Watch this space with regards to our planned wine tours to Italy - looks like Florence for the first trip!

July with Ricco Wines


Our English summer is here, and with it some sure hits from
Ricco for your garden party or barbeque (or lunch indoors when the rain comes) with friends, family; Wines that will satisfy even the most demanding mother in law.

As an aperitivo, served with antipasti: Althea's Frizzante Prosecco. Being semi-sparkling, clean, crisp and dry, it's a perfect beginning for any occasion. Our friend Marika (from Althea) considers it the perfect remedy to British reserve.

Something for a problem menu, meat? Fish? Vegetables? Torre Dei Beatti's Rose-ae Cerasuolo is a perfect match for a problem menu and nothing like those insipid, pale imitation Rosé wines you will find on a supermarket shelf. Cerasuolo is a Rose with attitude and class.

For your White choice – Il Palagione’s Hydra Vernaccia di san Gimignano, is a wine of ample fruit and complexity, matched with good levels of acidity and a good clean aftertaste. A very food friendly wine.

From the Colli Senesi region of Chianti, also from Il Palagione comes this fine example of an everyday drinking style of Chianti. Caelum is a medium bodied wine with good levels of fruit and finished with rounded tannins - A perfect match with all meats (barbequed or roasted) and rounded enough to accompany some fish dishes (grilled Sardines, Mackerel, Salmon etc.) A very regional style of Chianti and very drinkable.

Ricco are fully licenced, so why not come for a glass at Ricco HQ, here at Plestor House?

Happy Drinking, if you have nobody nice to eat and drink with this summer give Trevor a call on 01730 894751.


Trevor


PS. Having Chocolate or seasonal Cherries? Our Visciola Cherry wine from Pergiovanni Giusti, served straight from the fridge is simply sensational! With the above, or simply to sip on its own with your favourite guest - don’t forget my number.
