I tasted this Tempranillo-driven beauty in the still-cool dusk outside Vega Clara’s bodega and was struck first by its lift: balsamic herbs, clove, and sandalwood float over ripe blackberries and dark cherries. A year in primarily French oak frames the fruit without smothering the vibrant, “vertical” freshness that winemaker Clara Veraguas calls la chispa—the spark. On the table, think flame‑licked lamb chops, morcilla, or a hunk of Manchego drizzled with rosemary honey. 

2023 Incastro Rosa – Madia (Terre di Chieti, Abruzzo)

Made from 50 % Montepulciano, 30 % Sangiovese, and 20 % Primitivo, this rosato marries Provençal crunch with unmistakable Italian swagger. Pale pink with violet flashes, it rushes out of the glass in a wave of strawberry, cherry, and damson, laced with Campari bitters and fennel pollen. A salty kiss of minerality keeps you coming back for another sip. Serve it fridge‑cold with fritto misto, sushi, or a classic caprese salad—the wine’s zippy finish is built for summer plates. 

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo “Madia” – Torre Zambra

“Madia” comes from the estate’s younger vines and is deliberately aged without oak to let pure Montepulciano fruit sing. In the glass, it’s a deep ruby with purple edges; aromas of blackberry jam, raspberry, violet, and a twist of black licorice set the stage. The palate is supple and warm, balanced by a little tannic chew that makes it the week‑night champion it’s always been in Abruzzo farm kitchens. Pair it with spaghetti all’Amatriciana, sausage‑and‑pepper pizza, or a bowl of lentils stewed with pancetta.

2023 Barco Reale di Carmignano – Tenuta Le Farnete

$20.99 Value

Named for the Medici hunting wall that still rims the vineyards, this Sangiovese‑Cabernet blend is Tuscany’s answer to the everyday claret. Violets, wild sage, and blackberries tumble together, propelled by brisk acidity; a whisper of fine tannin gives the finish a tidy frame. I call it my “spaghetti red,” but it shines just as brightly beside grilled fennel‑pork sausages, pecorino‑topped ribollita, or a board of Tuscan salumi. 

2022 Pinot Auxerrois – Domaine St‑Rémy (Alsace)

$21.99 Value

Auxerrois is the plumper, more aromatic cousin of Pinot Blanc, and this organically farmed bottling shows why we keep begging for more cases. Honey‑drizzled pear, yellow apple, and alpine flowers flutter over a silken, dry palate that finishes with a gentle almond roundness. It’s the bird holiday secret weapon: roast turkey, cranberry sauce, and even macaroni and cheese love its soft texture and bright core. Terrines, pâtés, and mushroom quiche are delicious complements to the other 364 days of the year. 

2022 Due Santi Rosso – Lazio

$49.99 Value

Our first vintage, in partnership with Colle Picchioni, captures the sunny brushstrokes of Castelli Romani in a glass. Merlot leads with black cherry and pipe‑tobacco richness, while Cabernet adds currant depth and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. It’s still a pup—give it a quick decant and watch it unfurl around grilled bistecca, rosemary‑rubbed pork loin, or a slab of eggplant parmigiana.
