A great Italian red that's safe, approachable, sensible and delicious! Feels like a dinner party bottle, but night-in worthy too, we can’t decide whether it’s more dark choc and Scacchi, or chicken cacciatore and mates. Either option sounds great.

Cantina Etrusca Morellino di Scansano 2022

Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino 2020

It’s fruit forward thanks to all the forest berries, and some stony minerality which softens the profile and keeps it approachable. Open it up and put it between the Reggiano and the pasta, then grate, pour, mangia and drink!

Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2020

Think of autumn leaves falling and a little homemade porchetta roll–don’t forget the dried oregano and that last hot-as-your-oven-will-go 30 minutes to get the crackle, oh and there’s 1,000 great salsa verde recipes online.

Villa Migliarina Montozzi Chianti Superiore 2022

Deliciously ripe and fleshy cherry notes, wrapped delicately in tobacco leaf and a lovely bitter cherry edge in this Chianti that’s sitting more in the plush and weightier.

Tenuta Casabianca Chianti Collo Senesi 2021

Talenti Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2021

Classic as can be—drink this when you're in the mood to revisit warm nights spent in Tuscany. Varietal cherry and dusty plum lead the charge here with a moreish savoury edge. Delicious.

Dei Rosso Di Montepulciano 2020

Made with 90% Sangiovese and topped up with Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Cab Sauv. Goes down gushing with cherries and berries, but also packing enough of the chalky tannin and bright acidity Sangi is known for. As versatile, and tasty, as a good passata.

Fiorini Chianti Superiore DOCG 2021

Fleshy and weighty styled Chianti with oak and concrete used in fermentation. Tastes of dusty plum and a little rolled tobacco, plus some bitter cherry. And Chinotto! One to bring to a friend’s place when they’re cooking their best Italian recipe for you.

Tenuta di Lilliano Chianti Classico 2021

San Giusto a Rentennano Fuori Misura Rosato 2022

Tenute Rossetti Rosso 2020

Sangiovese dominant with a stellar lineup of complementary varieties was fermented and aged in cement. The result? An aromatic wine with varietal soft red cherry, a hint of black cherry and a smidge of dusty tannin. This is a surefire bottle to please everyone around your table.

Piazzano Chianti 2021

Montevertine Pian Ciampolo 2021

Light, bright and frankly, a delight. In the glass, expect bright morello cherries alongside prominent leafy tannins on the lithe palate, with a more delicate feel to the wine thanks to a portion of Canaiolo in the blend.

Bartali Chianti DOCG 2019

Migliarina Montozzi Chianti Superiore 2021

Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2019

Vibrant and fresh! Mid-weight and delectable. Slips down without a care in the world. 6 different label colours and the Salvador Dali picture on the front is a reference to the Dali-Tro bottle size, and the fact the wine is 'absurdly' delicious.

Malgiacca Dalitro 2021

Made with a hands-off approach in the winery, this was aged in a mix of cement and old oak, and with no fining or filtration before bottling. In the glass, it's old-school classic with savoury, earthen and spicy notes all at play.

Gigirosso Toscana Rosso Sangiovese Cabernet 2020

A Sangiovese dominant blend with equal parts Ciliegiolo and Montepulciano, this is suuuper juicy yet deftly anchored by the wash of savoury tannin on the palate. Delicious.
