غراشيانو روسو دي مونتيبولتشا

For the price, this Sangiovese delivers exactly what you'd want from a weeknight table wine—that ruby color and tart cherry note are spot on. It's dry enough to pair with pasta but smooth enough to sip on its own, and the medium tannins keep it from feeling too heavy.

This is my new go-to weeknight red. It's dry enough to pair with pasta but has a nice fruity finish that makes it easy to drink. The medium tannins give it just enough structure without being too heavy.

The tart cherry notes really come through on the first sip, and it’s dry enough to cut through a rich pasta dish without getting heavy. We finished the bottle over a casual Tuesday dinner and the medium tannins kept it smooth to the last glass. This is exactly what I want from a weeknight red.
