This is the perfect lighter red to choose if you're looking for something Italian that's smooth and a little spicy, but not too heavy
Avignonesi's basic Rosso is a versatile, everyday wine that really sings alongside roast meats, meat pies, and strong cheeses. It's produced from hand-picked grapes grown on 300m high south-facing slopes around the Tuscan town of Montepulciano and is aged for nine months in large oak barrels before bottling, with a further three months' bottle rest prior to release.
Winery: Avignonesi
