Staff Pick Notes

I've tasted thousands of wines from Italy over the years. This is hands down one of the most versatile and balanced reds to ever come out of the Lazio region (the area outside of Rome). This medium-bodied red has the perfect combination of fruit and earth tones. It is warm, generous, rustic, and pure. The perfect everyday bottle, this is a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese along with the native Roman grape, Cesanese. This would be perfect alongside any red sauce pasta. The best would be to pair it with a bucatini all'amatriciana for a true taste of Rome.

Sangiovese has shown itself in recent years to be an excellent complement to Cabernet Sauvignon in red Italian blends; this grape duo forms the basis of many of the...
