Farnese Gran Sasso La Bella Addormentata Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Abruzzo, Italy, 2023
Trebbiano is a bit like Pinot Grigio, except much better, and this one is one of the best I've found. Notes of stone fruit, white flowers and a touch of orange!
Pieropan, Soave Classico, Veneto, Italy, 2022
Pierpoan is very much royalty when it comes to Soave, and you'll see why once you try this wine. Amazingly concentrated wine with flavours of exotic fruits, orchard fruit, white flowers, it's got it all!
Negroamara Salento, Masseria Borgo dei Trulli IGP, Puglia, Italy, 2022
This wine has it all, supple juicy fruit, a sturdy structure and a silky texture that will make you want to take a bath in it, it's a year-round winner.
Primitivo di Manduria, Masseria Borgo Dei Trulli, Puglia, Italy, 2022
Good Primitivo can be hard to find in the UK so when you find a good one, you hold on tight....so cling onto this belter. Full of baked fruit flavours of plum and blackberry with a hint of spice, it's a hug in a glass.
Cabaletta 'Rosso delle Venezie', Tenute Fiorebelli, Veneto, Italy, 2023
I've been shipping this wine for nearly a decade now and I'd be happy to say it's the best value Italian red I've ever had, this is a genuine crowd-pleaser. It's fruity and soft but not sweet, designed for early drinking so gobble it all up now!
San Silvestro, Piemonte, Appassimento, Barbera, Piedmont, Italy, 2022
Appassimento in short is a method by which grapes are dried and concentrated to make already delicious wines even more delicious, and it works! A super juicy Christmas cake in a glass, so I guess Christmas has come early this year!
