SERVING SUGGESTION

QUICK PICK For impromptu or

Southern Italian Reds Party planning always starts with a budget, and the red wines of southern Italy represent some of the best values on LCBO shelves. Grape varieties such as Aglianico, Negroamaro and Primitivo produce honest wines that are robust and full of character. With grippy tannins and nervy acidity, these wines come into their own with food and have a particular affinity for grilled or roasted dishes, with Negroamaro and Primitivo being particularly inspired pairings for smoked meats.

last-minute entertaining, try Greek skewers (feta cube, black olive, cherry tomato, oregano leaf) or Italian (mini-mozza ball, prosciutto roll, cherry tomato, basil leaf) for tasty “salad” apps.
