There is something properly magical about an Italian Christmas. It’s less about the panic of the roast and more about the flow, a long, joyous procession of courses where the wine and food keep arriving in perfect rhythm. We created this mixed case to capture that feeling, curating a Grand Tour of Italy's most famous regions to provide the perfect bottle for every stage of your festive day.
L’Aperitivo: You don't start with Champagne here; you start with Franciacorta. We’ve included the Corteaura Saten Brut'Saten' means silk, and this delicately creamy blanc de blancs is the ultimate elegant welcome.
I Primi (Starters & Pasta): For the seafood antipasti, enjoy the sleek Grechetto from Tenuta di Salviano or the complex, orange blossom scented Vermentino from Fattoria di Magliano. When the pasta arrives, reach for the 2023 Poggerino Chianti Classico with its meaty cherry notes, or the flagship Dolcetto 'Papà Celso' from Marziano Abbona, a wine joyously loaded with red fruits.
I Secondi (The Main Event): For the roast, we have the heavy hitters. The 2021 Barolo from Andrea Oberto offers classic tarry notes and gorgeous fragrance, while the 2022 Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso brings a touch of Super Tuscan glamour with its rich sandy tannins.
Il Dopocena (Meditation): To finish? The stunning 2018 Amarone Classico from Ca' La Bionda. Energetic yet intense with a smoky blend of peppery spices, it is the perfect wine for the cheese board or quiet reflection by the fire. Buon Natale!L&S
