Country – Italy

With the sun beaming down and Summer finally feeling like it’s in full swing, we thought it was time to shout about some of our favourite kinds of wine to drink in the sun:
Pink and red chillers!
People often ask us about the lesser-known ‘red-chiller’ category, unsure of which wines best suit some time on ice. So, we thought we’d line up some of our favourites to take the guesswork out for you.
From the light, mineral driven rosé’s we know and love, to wild rosados with a little more flesh on their bones, we’ve got deep pet-nat rosé, juicy light reds and category defying field blends.
Thirst-quenching bottles best enjoyed straight from the ice bucket, drunk perfectly chilled.
That’s your picnic-wine sorted!

Monteforche
Lo Sfuso di Collina 2022

A long-time, nice-price staple here at Wayward, this is a real, honest and unfussy country wine that we'd happily drink every day. 'Sfuso' relates to rustic wine that is often sold from a tap in local trattorie. That gives you an idea of what to expect here - simple and quenching, of the variety one rarely sees exported.

Fabio Ferracane
Camaleonte 2022

A breezy, 'all-in' kinda wine that serves as an approximation of Fabio's overall style.
