Miquel’s first recommendation is Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, a red wine offering great value with soft tannins and notes of dark cherry and plum. It’s praised for its versatility with various foods like pasta and grilled meats. For white wine lovers, he suggests Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi from Marche, known for crisp acidity, citrus flavors, and a distinctive almond finish, with surprising aging potential.

From Piedmont, Dolcetto d’Alba is presented as a delightful, fruit-forward red with juicy black cherry and licorice notes. Its low acidity makes it an ideal “pizza wine” for casual enjoyment. Nero d’Avola from Sicily is highlighted as a powerful yet affordable red, boasting rich dark fruit flavors, chocolate, and spice, perfect with robust dishes.

Finally, Julien challenges perceptions with Lambrusco (Secco), a dry sparkling red from Emilia-Romagna. This wine offers vibrant red berry flavors and refreshing effervescence, pairing exceptionally well with cured meats and cheeses, adding a unique and joyous element to any meal. Miquel concludes by encouraging viewers to explore the vast and welcoming world of Italian wines.
