MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO 2020 Rubino Principe (Red) Excellent value red: lots of colour, and bouncy flavour. A good example of what you might call a trattoria wine.

"Il Santo" Nistri (Sweetish white) Half bottles Similar to Vin Santo, but technically a Vino Liquoroso because it's fortified (it is consequently considerably cheaper!). Excellent value. Although fairly sweet it is best drunk on its own, or dunked with cantuccini.

MONTEPULCIANO d'ABRUZZO 2016 Villa Sant'Angelo Serious Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, bottled in 2019 - a fine example of the quality that the Montepulciano grape can produce in the right hands.
