White Wine

Attems Ramato Pinot Grigio 2024, Friuli D.O.C., Italy: Attems’ 2024 Cupra Ramato pours a luminous copper hue, revealing iris blossom, ripe peach and honeycomb notes. Its palate marries strawberry-sorbet sweetness with zesty blood-orange lift, all wrapped in a silky texture. Bright acidity and chalky tannins give it spine and length. Pair with smoked-salmon bagels or melon-and-prosciutto skewers. Pinot Grigio food pairings: pasta Alfredo, smoked salmon Bennies, salads.

Red Wine

Castello di Gabbiano Riserva Chianti Classico 2021, Tuscany D.O.C.G., Italy: Cavaliere D’oro Riserva 2021 Chianti melds pure Sangiovese with a hint of Merlot, evolving through stainless-steel fermentation, a year in oak and a further year in bottle. Bright strawberry and fine-herb aromas lead into a structured palate where earth-tobacco and gentle spice mingle. Enjoy it with pork-belly flatbread drizzled in balsamic glaze or a rosemary-garlic roasted chicken. Chianti Classico food pairings: roast beef, cheesy pizza, stuffed roasted turkey, pasta in tomato sauce. Drink: 2025 - 2028 216309 14.5% D 750 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100. July 2025. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
