UMBRIA LUNGAROTTI IL POMETO PINOT GRIGIO 2024 IGT Umbria

PUGLIA TAGARO MANCINELLO NERO DI TROIA 2021 IGP Puglia

Umbria isn’t typically associated with Pinot Grigio, and discovering such a top-quality example in the tasting lineup really got our buyers excited. When you experience this wine’s delicate floral tones, vibrant peach, apple, orange peel, banana, savoury herbs, and evocative hint of Mediterranean scrub, you’ll be just as delighted and impressed as we are. A wine to talk about over freshwater fish or chickpea- and-tofu curry. Light & Crisp 41908 (XD) 750 mL $19.95 2 Featured in Chilled Out ITALY – RED WINE CAMPANIA IL POGGIO SANNIO AGLIANICO 2020 DOP Sourced from vines planted at 300 to 400 metres elevation in the Sannio growing area. Sannios are accessible earlier than the well-known Aglianico wines of Taurasi and are rapidly gaining a premium reputation of their own. This intense, bold wine has dried fruit, earth, coffee, sweet spices, and black pepper. A great choice for grilled beef ribs, jackfruit ribs, or pizza. Drink to 2030.

Sweet spices and some dried fruit to the nose. Cloves, smoked herbs and vanilla, too. Tight and creamy tannins give structure to the medium- to full-bodied palate before a juicy, berry-fruit finish. Nicely drinkable. Drink or hold. Score: 92 (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, Feb. 6, 2023) Full-bodied & Smooth 22130 (D) 750 mL $18.00 2 As seen in The $18 Solution

TUSCANY CALIMAIA VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO 2019 DOCG (Frescobaldi)

... deliciously styled, spending two years in 50-hL oak barrels and another four months in bottles before release. Cherries and dried herbs with a smear of dark chocolate give the wine a smooth, rich demeanour that slides down easily. There is some tannin, and it will age for another three to five years with ease, but you can also drink it now. Mushroom dishes would be a fine match.
