Say "Hello" to classic Italian wine with this six-bottle selection of award-winners from regions like Tuscany, Puglia, and Pavia. Italian wine is beloved for its smooth, food-friendliness. Make the most of your next meal with Sangiovese, Chianti, Pinot Grigio, and more.
• Villa Amoroso Sangiovese di Puglia: Nourished by the ocean breezes and warm sun of Southern Italy, non-vintage Villa Amoroso Sangiovese di Puglia bursts forth with earthy aromas, and flavors of red currant and raspberry. The wine’s flavors are even bolder after a 30-minute decant, which is just enough time to whip up your favorite tomato-based Italian dish.
• 2016 Abbazia Dolcetto d'Alba D.O.C: Dolcetto d’Alba has a singular purpose: to be enjoyed, especially with food. It drinks beautifully when paired with anything with tomatoes. Even though Dolcetto means “little sweet one,” this wine is dry and definitely not little. Flavors of blackberry and boysenberry flow through its velvety mouthfeel with a firm finish.
• 2015 Villa Amoroso Chianti: Villa Amoroso Chianti shines at the dinner table, thanks to a joyful blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% regional varietals, creating a foodie-thrilling balance of tart red fruit and spicy herb flavors. The notes of smoke, clay, peppers and tomato perfectly compliment tomato-based Italian dishes and dried meats.
• Val Di Botte Pinot Grigio I.G.T.: Light and refreshing Val Di Botte Pinot Grigio is the quintessential summertime wine. It’s made with grapes grown south of Milan and close to the Italian Alps, the definitive source for the world’s best Pinot Grigio. This low-alcohol white flaunts citrus zest, apple, pear and nectarine flavors that mingle with slight almond and ginger notes. Serve it ice cold to maximize the crispness.
• Villa Amoroso Moscato Vino Dolce: The sunny days and cool nights of northern Italy’s Lombardia province nurture grapes, resulting in flavorful, festive wines like non-vintage Villa Amoroso Moscato. Moscato is beloved for its fruity peach and citrus flavors, and this spritzy and light-hearted white has a floral feel that can bookend any meal, whether you serve it as an aperitif or with dessert.
Chinese food: The tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors in chicken and fish-based Chinese dishes call for an ice-cold glass of Moscato wine.
