LaFiera

LaFiera's take on Soave is a delightful reminder of why this classic Italian white deserves a spot in your regular rotation. Made primarily from the Garganega grape in the Veneto region, it delivers that quintessential Italian freshness that makes you want to sit on a sunny patio and contemplate the meaning of 'la dolce vita.' This isn't one of those complicated wines that demands your full attention – it's the easy-going friend who's always pleasant to have around. With its bright character and food-friendly nature, it's particularly brilliant with lighter seafood dishes. The subtle almond note on the finish is the little surprise that keeps things interesting – kind of like finding that extra euro in your pocket after a trip to Italy.

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is one of Italy's most reliable sources of good-value red wine, and LaFiera's version showcases why this central Italian classic deserves a place in your regular rotation. From the rugged Abruzzo region comes this crowd-pleasing red that delivers authentic Italian character without requiring a special occasion to open. Made from 100% Montepulciano grapes (not to be confused with the Tuscan town of the same name), this wine strikes the perfect balance between fruit-forward accessibility and traditional Italian structure. There's enough complexity to keep things interesting but not so much that it demands your full attention – making it perfect for casual dinners or gatherings where the wine is supporting cast rather than the star. At this price point, it's the kind of bottle you can confidently open for Tuesday night pasta knowing it will deliver far more pleasure than its modest cost suggests.

LaFiera Primitivo delivers exactly what you want from this southern Italian grape – plenty of rich, sun-baked fruit without getting too heavy or jammy. This wine hails from Puglia, the heel of Italy's boot, where Primitivo (the Italian twin of Zinfandel) thrives in the warm Mediterranean climate. What makes this bottle special is its perfect balance between rustic charm and modern drinkability. It's got enough structure to stand up to hearty dishes but remains smooth enough to enjoy on its own. At this price point, it's practically criminal not to keep a bottle or two on hand for impromptu pizza nights – just saying.
