Novellino Rosso Tradizionale Semi-Dry Red Wine 75cl

Juicy fruit, a gentle hint of sweetness, and zero drama, this semi-dry red is the bottle you open when you want everyone at the table to be happy.

Novellino Rosso Tradizionale leans into ripe red fruit and a soft, cozy finish, so it plays nice with food and still tastes great when you’re just snacking and talking. If super-dry reds feel like chewing on a tea bag, this is your detour.

• Appearance: Deep ruby red with a bright, youthful shine and light legs in the glass.
• Nose: Ripe cherry, red plum, a touch of berry jam, plus a faint cocoa and vanilla-like sweetness.
• Taste: Red fruit up front (cherry, plum), a gentle sweetness that rounds everything out, and soft tannins that don’t dry your mouth out. Medium acidity keeps it lively.
• Body: Medium-bodied, easy-drinking, not heavy.
• Finish: Fruity and slightly sweet, with a little cocoa-like warmth that hangs around for a beat.

This is the kind of red wine that makes simple food feel like a plan. Pizza, burgers, BBQ skewers, saucy noodles, even a cheese board with salty snacks, it’s forgiving, crowd-friendly, and doesn’t demand “perfect pairing” energy.

It also nails that in-between moment when you want flavour and comfort, not a super-dry, super-serious glass. Semi-dry means you get fruit you can taste, not just smell, and the sweetness keeps the edges rounded instead of sharp.

What makes it worth shelf space is how it shows up: big on fruit, easy on the tannins, and consistent glass after glass. It’s a red you can confidently pour for mixed crowds, wine newbies, beer drinkers, and your friend who only orders “something not too dry.”

Keep this one on standby for casual hangs, last-minute dinners, and any time you want a reliable semi-dry red without turning the night into a tasting seminar.

Fun Fact: “Rosso” is simply Italian for “red”, a nod to the wine’s classic, straight-ahead style.
