Style – Light Juicy Reds

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.

Val de Combrès
La Lumière 2021

One of Val's deliciously light and juicy reds, in a style he refers to as 'glouglou plus' - meaning there is a wealth of explosive, pure fruit character, but not to the loss of structure in the wine. Sumptuous black cherry fruit and spice jostle together with very light grip from the dialled-back tannins. A playful, well-rounded bouncing ball of a wine with no shortage of charm. Best served chilled. Find out more.
