Bastianich Vespa Rosso is a red wine that hails from Italy's Friuli region, home to some of the finest vineyards in the world. This wine is made from a blend of grape varieties, including Refosco, Schioppettino, and Merlot, which impart a unique flavor profile to the wine. Bastianich Vespa Rosso is aged in oak barrels for 24 months, giving it a rich, full-bodied structure that pairs well with hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses. This wine is characterized by its ruby red color, intense aromas of black cherry and plum, and a spicy finish that lingers on the palate. Truly one of the finest wines from Friuli, Bastianich Vespa Rosso is a must-try for any wine lover.

Bel Colle Verduno Pelaverga is a light-bodied, aromatic red wine from the Verduno region of Piedmont, Italy. It's known for its vibrant red fruit flavors, spicy notes, and delicate floral aromas, often with hints of white pepper. The wine is typically enjoyed young and pairs well with cured meats, mushrooms, and lighter dishes.

A slightly raw wine, and while it’s probably meant to be enjoyed young, I’d either throw it into a decanter for a couple of hours, or pop it in the cellar for another couple of years: it makes a big difference. Anyway, as at now, it’s red fruited and perfumed, showing some sweet aniseed and spice, along with a whiff of new leather. Medium bodied, brightly lit and vibrant, with red cherry and red berry flavours, light chalky tannin, and a long gently sweet finish that’s perfumed and very fine. Remarkable wine for the money.
