Buyer's Choice Trio: Bold and Rich Red Wine Gift

Get to know: Buyer's Choice Trio: Red Wine Gift

Description

Here's a red wine gift with three standout bottles selected by our buyer Nic, presented in a wooden box. It starts in Rioja Alavesa with NAKU, a bright, juicy young Tempranillo from a  modern region focused winemaker. Then it heads to Puglia for two richer reds, Cantine Sampietrana's oak-aged Brindisi Riserva and San Marzano's plush TALO Malvasia Nera. It works for a birthday, an anniversary, a thank-you or as one of your red wine Christmas gifts this year. It's also a safe bet when if you're not sure what they usually drink.

Why they'll love it:

• Something Different – NAKU is exclusive to Reserve in the UK, so it's a bottle they won't have picked up at the supermarket
• Ready to Give – It arrives in a wooden wine box with a gift tag, so it's ready for birthdays, thank-yous, or under the tree at Christmas
• Made for the Table – Open the NAKU with charcuterie or a roasted vegetable traybake with olives. The two Puglian reds suit roast lamb, a slow-cooked beef ragù or a chunk of aged Pecorino
• All Vegan – All three wines are vegan, so that's one less thing to check before you give it

Kate Says

"I love the way this set moves. You start with the NAKU, which is light and juicy and just lovely with a bit of a chill on it, and then you head down to Puglia and it gets richer, lots of dark fruit, bit of spice. Open them over a weekend with friends and see which one everyone goes back to."

What's Inside?

NAKU 2025, Spain, 13% ABV, Vegan

A young Tempranillo from UKAN in Rioja Alavesa, exclusive to Reserve in the UK. Part of the fruit is fermented as whole bunches, which keeps it bright: red cherry, wild strawberry, soft tannins and a fresh finish. Good with a slight chill.

Cantine Sampietrana, Brindisi Riserva 2022, Italy, 13.5% ABV, Vegan

Kate Says: "From the heel of Italy, this is just a banger of a wine for us, everyone who tries it loves it. Concentrated dark fruit, richness from oak and velvety smooth. Try it with a spicy pasta dish."

San Marzano, TALO Malvasia Nera 2024, Italy, 13.5% ABV, Vegan

Full-bodied Malvasia Nera from Salento in southern Puglia. Ripe Morello cherry, baked orange peel and warm spice, with a few months in French oak giving it a soft, velvety finish.
