Cirelli Vino da Tavola Rosso Abruzzo 2024 Gifts

Cirelli Vino da Tavola Rosso Abruzzo 2024 GiftsAn old faithful for us in terms of organically farmed, delicious central Italian red from La Collina Biologica winemaker Francesco Cirelli. Not too heavy, not too ripe, and not oaky, this isn't '80s or '90s styled fiasco type wine. Perfect, easy stuff for spaghetti and ziti and meatball subs, great selection for a solid everyday table wine.
