Antonio Federici Rosso 2021

Led by third-generation Damiano Federici, Cantine Federici is one of the first (and best) producers in Italy’s Roma region and continually garners international acclaim for its luscious reds, enchanting whites and frothy bubbles.

Most of the estate’s wines are sold directly to local Italian restaurants, but we scored an exclusive allocation of this powerful red named after Damiano’s grandfather.

A blend of hand-harvested Montepulciano and Cesanese grown in the hills outside of Rome—the same ones that supplied stone for the Colosseum—with a portion of the grapes dried (which creates seriously concentrated flavors), it delivers a sumptuous texture, with luscious black fruit and warming spice notes.

Act quickly for your share of this Roman sensation, then try it with rigatoni all’amatriciana and other hearty pasta dishes.
