About The Pack
Here's an easy way to have a trip around Italy from the comfort of your own home.
While there is plenty of super-premium wines in Italy, there are a swag of bargains to be had too.
We cover the whole of Italy in this brilliant six pack, from Nebbiolo to Primitivo, it's got it all!
Unbeatable value, quality wines.
2020 Maretti Langhe Nebbiolo
For lovers of affordable Italian table wines, the Maretti wines, crafted by the winemaker Danilo Drocco, have been delivering above and beyond for many years.
The Langhe Nebbiolo adds another delicious string to their bow. The fruit is macerated for only a short time before being pressed off to barrel. The intent here is to deliver a Piemontese Nebbiolo that is ready to drink now. Drocco has been very successful.
The tannins are super fine and moreish, the fruit is bright, energetic and has the signature rusty colour that you might associate with very traditional examples of Nebbiolo from this region.
This is one of the best value Italian Nebbiolos you will find.

The Gigi Rosso is made from a mix of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. It's made with minimal influence from the hand of the winemaker, concrete for ferment and no fining or filtration before bottling.
It's a wine made for the people, that is both savoury and bright. Earthy, spicy, sloshy and slurpable, this is a perfect mid-week red. Order the pizzas, pronto.

There are few great food and pairings in the world better than a smashable Dolcetto with a freshly baked home cooked pizza on a Thursday night.
Next time you find yourself in that position, reach for this bottle. It's grown in the region of Barbaresco, made in a modern, vibrant style, packaged very sharply and delivered at a great price.
Dolcetto is a playful variety and you'll have plenty of fun with this one.
2020 Babo Chianti
The Babo Chianti is smooth, savoury and seriously easy to drink. One of the few Chianti to be bottled under screw cap, ensuring the pristine wine that Justin bottled in Italy finds its way to your glass.
This is smashable Sangiovese 101 at a very fair price.
The freshness and juiciness is a result of half of the wine seeing carbonic maceration. Filled with cherry, earthiness and that classic savoury Sangiovese finish, it's a cracker wine for when you're feeling a little Italianate.
2019 Artigiano Primitivo
In the heel of Italy's boot lies Puglia, the sunny region from where this delicious Primitivo red hails.
Think rustic yet vibrant for this one - juicy baked blackberries, hints of tobacco and a whole lot of robustness. It's a bit like a comforting warm hug.
Share it around the table at your next pizza night, it's sure to be a hit!

The Farina Valpolicella is the "classic" blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara, grapes which can be pretty unexciting by themselves but go so marvellously well together.
The fermentation of the Farina Valpolicella DOC is a slow process, wherein the skins and the juice stay in contact for a long time at a cool temperature, resulting in little colour or tannin being extracted.
Expect aromas and flavours of red cherry, plum and other red berries, as well as herbs and blossom. While some Valpolicellas can be paired with rich meals, the entry-level Farina Valpolicella DOC would be more at home with tomato-based pasta dishes or even snacks.
