On Friday night I went out in Città di Castello with a group of my Italian friends from the sommelier course that I’ve been doing over the last year.

Being Italian and trainee sommeliers, they have a strong interest in eating good food and drinking great wine, Le Logge was the choice of restaurant made by the group and I was very happy to go along and try it out, they have been telling me for a while now how good it is there.

Tucked away inside a cloistered courtyard just off the main piazza, Le Logge is easy to miss, this would be a shame as the food was excellent and not expensive.

We drank some interesting wines, starting with a bottle fermented prosecco and a couple of Italian Rieslings, however, my favourite was a 2009 Sagrantino from the Trabalza winery, well balanced and delicious, intense flavours.
