LITTLE ITALY WINE LIST
There are no rules to tasting or indeed enjoying the wine. Each of our palates are as unique as our
fingerprints, with this in mind Andrea and Mandy have brought together a selection with the aim to
bring something to suit all tastes. To do so, we introduced our rating system to help you compare the
character of each wine depending on the sweetness and weight.
