Get to know: Fattoria di Vaira, Vincenzo Rosso
A rustic Italian red wine made using biodynamic farming and natural winemaking in central Italy.
Tasting Note
Fattoria di Vaira Vincenzo Rosso is a vivid, food-loving Italian red wine with an unpolished, honest charm. Light ruby in colour with a slightly hazy appearance, it offers earthy aromas of sour cherry, wild berries, dried herbs, and a subtle savoury funk that comes from native yeast fermentation. On the palate, this natural red is fresh and gently grippy, with juicy red fruit, a touch of spice, and a softly rustic edge. Low in alcohol and full of life, it finishes dry, refreshing, and quietly moreish – the sort of wine that disappears quickly once the food hits the table.
Top food pairings:
- Charcuterie, salami, and crusty bread
- Tomato-based pasta dishes or simple ragù
- Grilled vegetables, beans, or lentil stews
Kate Says
"This is my kind of everyday natural red – a bit wild around the edges, super drinkable, and made for sharing with whatever’s cooking."
