Aqua Dining Wine List

(2)

The Aqua Dining wine list draws inspiration from Davide Rebeccatto’s modern Italian menu and Aqua Dining’s

location that is quintessentially Sydney.

The wine list showcases Italian varietals grown locally in Australia and internationally.

Traditional Italian wines have been selected from acclaimed Italian regions to complement the Italian cuisine. There

is also a focus on the finest wine regions and producers of Australia and New Zealand to reflect Aqua Dining’s

iconic Sydney location.

Organic, biodynamic and natural wines have been identified in the list, representing an emerging segment of the

Australian wine culture.

Piedmont: Italian regional focus

In Italy, only Tuscany rivals Piedmont for the greatest of its red wines. The two best wines from Piedmont are

Barolo and Barbaresco, made from the Nebbiolo grape. Piedmont is Italy’s northwestern-most region, and true to

its name Piedmont which means ‘foot of the mountain’ it is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The French

alps separate it from the west and the Swiss alps from the north, and finally the Appennies separate it from the

region of Liguria to the south. Piedmont has a continental climate, very cold winters followed by dry, hot summers.

Below we have listed a good selection of wines from Piedmont and we offer you the opportunity to explore this

amazing region with us.

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo produces full-bodied, characterful wines that are high in acid and have strong tannic structure.

Nebbiolo’s aromas and flavours vary according to each individual site, flavours range from strawberry red fruit,

to herbal characterisics such as mint and anise, to earthy notes of mushroom, white truffle and tar.
