White Wine

Monte Schiavo Ruviano Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2023, Marche D.O.C., Italy: Wild-herb perfume and crisp green-apple notes leap from the glass, underpinned by zesty lemon-pith snap and a faint bitter-almond flourish. Taut and enlivening, its mineral backbone adds welcome tension. Pair with grilled sea bass and fennel-citrus salad. Food pairings: grilled seafood, calamari, linguini vongole. Drink: 2025 - 2027 44279 11.5% XD 750 mL $16.95 Score: 90/100. August 2025. Best Value White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

Red Wine

Borghini Baldovinetti de Bacci Poggio Uliveto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2021, Tuscany D.O.C.G., Italy: San Fabiano’s Sangiovese greets you with dried floral and star-anise nuances drifting over tart cranberry and candied orange peel. A chalky entry yields to smooth tannins and a bright, focused finish. Best from 2029 onward. Pair with duck-confit tacos and spring asparagus gratin. Food pairings: meaty lasagne, cheesy pizza, veal Parmesan. Drink: 2025 - 2030 44589 14% XD 750 mL $35.95 Score: 94/100. August 2025. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
