This 3 pack contains one bottle of each of the following wines:
2021 Salcheto Obvius Bianco
Tuscany, Italy
Toscana IGT
Obvius is Salcheto's all-natural lineup and the Bianco Toscana is a slick mix of organically and biodynamically farmed Trebbiano and Vermentino. This is bursting with ripe pear, dark honey, bramble and earthiness tied into this savoury element that underpins the funk. A soft pear and honey flavour hits your palate in tandem with Meyer lemon and beeswax alongside a medium-bodied expression to the finish. Spy a little of that yeasty character and that delicious savoury funk to tick all the boxes on the natural wine lovers' checklist of must-haves. This is so easy-drinking and kinda like a big umami bomb. Best with veggie stir fries, grilled chicken kabobs or Chinese takeout.
2020 Carussin Asinoi Barbera d'Asti
Piemonte, Italy
Barbera d'Asti DOCG
Freshness and simplicity rule here: 'Asinoi' sees the younger, lower slope fruit from the Ferras' three Barbera plots go into a single, value-driven bottle. Intense fragrances of cherry, raspberry, and cranberry compote reel off the glass, while on the palate brambly fruit is balanced by subtler notes of forest floor that help ground a very lively (ie, higher acid-driven) drinking experience. A spirited example of the playfulness that comes when a well-loved grape meets a production style that is at once innovative and steeped in tradition. Best enjoyed with a meal or friends – or even better, both! – Asinoi is a no-brainer for easy drinking, because not everything has to be complicated in life, or in wine.
