Red
Luigi Righetti 2019 Campo Tordi Corvina Veneto IGT
Bright red cherry leads a fresh, fruit-driven nose. The palate is light and easy in shape, with gentle tannins and balanced acidity keeping the fruit lively. A subtle bitter-almond note appears on the clean finish, giving this stainless-steel-fermented expression a savoury edge and an especially refreshing feel.
Barbacàn 2019 Rosso di Valtellina
Clean and pure, with red berries, violet and alpine herbs carried by a cool mineral line.

Energetic rather than heavy, it closes savoury, stony and precise, with distinctly mountain-bred freshness.
Gaja 2011 Ca’Marcanda Camarcanda Bolgheri
Sun-warmed blackberry and plum lead a dark, generous profile, with soft tannins giving the palate a plush, rounded feel.

Diego Conterno 2023 Ferrione Barbera d’Alba
Lively red fruit and plum open with warm spice, giving way to a fresh, medium-bodied palate.

Polished and versatile, it suits grilled sausage, tomato-based pasta or slowly braised meat.
Cavallotto 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis
Earthy and smoky at first, opening into dark cherry, blood orange and dried fruit. Firm acidity and tightly knit tannins give the palate a powerful, classical frame, while concentrated fruit carries through the middle and into a focused, persistent finish. Still youthful and structured, this will reward decanting or further cellar time. Serve with braised beef, game, truffle dishes or aged cheese.
Rocca delle Macìe 2019 Famiglia Zingarelli Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
Bitter cherry and black raspberry lead, joined by plum, tobacco and a subtle ferrous note.

Savoury spice and a light espresso bitterness shape a dry, persistent finish with distinctly Tuscan restraint.
Sella & Mosca 2021 Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva
Cherries and dark berries meet herbs, smoke and sun-dried tomato on a savoury, Mediterranean-leaning nose. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly peppery, with subtle minerality, polished tannins and a measured touch of spice. Blueberry and dark chocolate add depth before a tasty, composed finish. A natural match for roast lamb, sausages or mushroom dishes.
Brancaia 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
Cherry and black fruit lead a broad, layered bouquet, followed by spice, leather, tar and freshly tilled earth.

Fine tannins carry the savoury detail through a long, composed finish, making this a natural partner for roasted meats and rich sauces.
Giordano Lombardo 2020 Sasso Alto Barbera
Tangy blueberry, cherry and kirsch give this medium-bodied red a bright, generous core. The fruit stays vivid through the palate, supported by lively acidity and an easy, approachable texture. A fresh, clean finish keeps the style versatile at the table. Serve with tomato-based pasta, roast pork or grilled sausages.
Donatella 2018 Il Drago e le 8 Colombe Toscana IGT
Dark ruby with garnet highlights, opening with ripe red and black fruit, sweet spice and a fine mineral note.

Savoury detail and measured acidity carry the rich fruit through a long, composed finish.
Gabbiano 2009 Alleanza Toscana IGT
Rich ruby with purple reflections, offering fresh red currant and a light touch of sweet chocolate. The palate is smooth and evenly fruited, with currant returning at the centre.

Cordero di Montezemolo 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba
Cherry and raspberry lead an aromatic, garnet-hued red, with wild herbs, minerality and brown spice adding savoury complexity.

Mastroberardino 2018 Radici Taurasi

The blend's richness builds gradually, carrying dried-fruit depth and spice through a long, composed finish suited to braised beef or aged cheese.
Casanuova di Nittardi 2022 Vigna Doghessa Chianti Classico
Dark cherry and wild berries lead an expressive nose, joined by clove, walnut and licorice.

Cedar and spice build through the finish, balancing generosity with definition and making it a natural match for grilled meat or aged pecorino.
Cordero di Montezemolo 2015 Enrico VI Barolo DOCG
French oak, baked plum, vanilla and roasted coffee bean lead, with a cool menthol note adding lift.
