Italian Wines

It's from Puglia, the Italian spot for full-bodied reds, where grapes reach sky-high levels of ripeness.

With crisp apple, pear, citrus and a zippy acidity, it's no surprise this was the top Pinot Grigio of 2018. This really does earn its 'Superore' status.

We asked the winery behind our best-rated appassimento if they could do it even more indulgent.

Montalcino's 2013 vintage was cooler with more rainfall. Wines from the year are stunning, with a beautiful radiance and elegance that shines through with ageing.

This is red-berry-and-vanilla-packed indulgence. It's a baby Amarone at a snip.

It's rich, sweet-spice-packed and luxuriously indulgent. It's an Amarone double without the eye-watering price tag.

Heady notes of black fruit, Christmas cake and mocha entwine with melted tannins and a seemingly endless finish. This is Italian decadence in a glass.

Primitivo is the fruit-packed Zinfandel of Italy. You'll taste gallons of black fruits and arising sweet spices.

A full-bodied, complex red that's stuffed with red fruit, a hint of tobacco and mouth-stuffing tannins. This is top-shelf Italian juice at its best.

It's one of our best-rated Italian reds and a heady red, full of concentrated black fruits and sweet spices. A baby Amarone at the snip of it's big brother's asking price.

Aged for a huge 18 months, the Nero Oro Riserva is stuffed with damson, blackcurrant, candied fig and a toasted oakiness.

It's a step up from other Montepulciano, boasting notes of ripe cherries, sweet spices and an alluring hint of smoke. It's comfort food in a bottle.
