Rubillo, Principe Pallavicini
£14.95
The history of the Pallavicini family, which has owned land in the Lazio region for hundreds of years, is entwined with that of popes, cardinals, generals and princes. The winery is built over a Roman cistern and aqueduct and Roman artefacts and remains can be found everywhere on the estate. They are one of the best producers around Rome, and make wines which are balanced and delicious.
This Rubillo is made from the local Cesanese grape, which produces a fairly light wine which is eminently gluggable. A little bit like Valpolicella in style, this is perfect for pairing with tomato dishes and charcuterie; a great lunchtime wine which can benefit from chilling in the summer months.

Perfect for BBQ's and a really versatile wine to have on hand, complementing pizza, meaty pasta, pork chops...
