I Lauri Bajo Rosso Di Montepulciano 75cl

Juicy fruit, a savoury edge, and enough structure to feel “real” without feeling heavy, this Rosso di Montepulciano is the Italian red wine you’ll reach for when you want flavour without fuss. It’s built for casual nights, but it’s not boring.

• Appearance: Deep ruby with a bright, youthful rim, it looks lively in the glass, which is a good hint that it’s going to drink lively too.
• Nose: Ripe cherry and red plum lead, with a background of dried herbs and a light earthy note, the kind that makes you think of warm Italian hillsides.
• Taste: Red berry fruit up front, then a gentle savoury turn, with firm but friendly tannins that keep your palate refreshed and ready for the next bite.
• Body: Medium-bodied, so it lands right in that sweet spot, satisfying with dinner, easy enough to sip on its own.
• Finish: Clean and persistent, with cherry skin and a subtle spice note hanging around just long enough to make it interesting.

Why it matters, this style is all about versatility. The juicy fruit keeps it approachable, while the tannin and savoury hints give it backbone, so it doesn’t get lost next to rich tomato sauces, roasted meats, or a proper cheese board.

It’s also a great “house red” move. Keep it around for spontaneous dinners, last-minute guests, or that moment when you want an Italian red that tastes like it belongs at the table.

Fun Fact: Montepulciano is both a grape and a town name in Italy, and they’re not the same thing, Rosso di Montepulciano is from around the town, while Montepulciano (the grape) is famous further east in Abruzzo.
