Whether it’s a sangiovese from Tuscany or a pinot noir from New Zealand we’re spoilt for choice here in Australia when it comes our choice of red wines from around the world. Here are our favourite drops just for you.
When you’re full throttle into the swing of a celebration, and don’t want to think further than the end of your glass, then a young, fresh, spicy red is just the ticket. Chef-turned-winemaker Adam Foster and his sommelier mate Lincoln Riley have created one with floral, fennel accents. Pair with fancy party pies and pork and fennel sausage rolls.
Dolcetto roughly translates to the ‘little sweet one’ and although many winemakers producing this black Italian grape variety do end up with little sweet wines, Unico Zelo’s drop offers a more attractive, savoury style. It’s crunchy, fresh and vibrant, and is ideal for daytime parties.
The Fratelli family travel to Italy regularly and have picked out a small parcel of wine to bottle under their own colourful label. Made from sangiovese in Tuscany, it’s a savoury red built for gourmet pizza and bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine T-bone steak).
