Wines of the week: David Williams

Le Monferrine Barbera, Piedmont, Italy 2010 (£5.98, or three for £10, Asda) Supermarket wine promotions are frequently dishonest, with the "normal" bottle price inflated to make the deal (which is in fact closer to the wine's real worth) look better value than it is. But I'd happily buy this Italian red at its full price, which makes it that rarest of beasts: a drinkable three-for-10 wine. Full of juicy red and black cherries, with bright acidity giving it great drinkability, it's just right for a pasta pomodoro. Château Ste Marguerite Grande Réserve Cru Classé Organic Rosé, Côtes de Provence, France (£11.99, or £9.99 if you buy two, Majestic) A great deal of Provençal rosé falls into the category of holiday wine: it makes sense if you're sipping it on a terrace by the Med, but it can seem pale and pointless when you open a bottle back home. The better examples are delicious wherever they're consumed, and this is one – elegant, cool and a perky blast of strawberry and raspberry. Gramona Cava Gran Reserva III Lustros, Spain 2004 (£26.95, Berry Bros & Rudd, bbr.com ) Here's a wine that makes a nonsense of the idea that Cava is Champagne's low-rent Spanish cousin. One of several genuinely fine sparkling wines made by the Gramona family, it takes the local varieties Xarel-Lo and Macabeo and conjures up a fabulously dense, rich and textured wine, its complex flavour profile calling to mind a Catalan dessert of dried fruit and egg custard. Superb!
