Fine Wines

"Exciting times with the team at Non Solo Pizza with the launch of the long anticipated Poderi Crisci Pinot Grigio '09.  This has been worth the wait, a beautiful zingy wine, with tropical fruit, a hint of rose water, and a long finish - this is a stand out and Italian in style. 

The release of the '07 Poderi Merlot has brought us a deep, dark, intense merlot with a rich plum nose, excellent depth and a finish with fine tannins.

Later on in the year we shall see the launch of the Poderi Crisci Chardonnay also... Watch this space.

All Poderi Crisci wines - from the distant shores of Waiheke - are available by the glass, bottle or case from Non Solo Pizza, and Bar,
