Our Go-To Italian Table Wine of 2023

If you're anything like us, Italian table wine was likely one of the first wines you tasted—whether sipping while study abroad, vacationing with family in Italy, or simply stealing a swig from your parents' at-home collection.

Although our palates have expanded, our love for classic Italian table wine remains, though unsurprisingly, a good amount of it isn't made very well. When we stumbled upon Atilia, we knew that this was the bottle we'd been looking for!

Rooted in central Italy, the Jasci family has been making wine for three generations, with quality and responsible farming always at the helm of their work. The estate has impressively been cultivating vines organically since 1980, far before it was fashionable to do so in their region. The same love and attention to detail are paid both in the vines and the cellar by the current generation, Donatello and Piera, today.

Crafted entirely from Montepulciano, fruit for this wine comes from pergola-trained vines rooted in clay-heavy soils. Fruit is hand harvested, fermented with native yeasts, and macerated for two weeks in stainless steel prior to short aging / bottling. On the palate, the wine is everything you want it to be: juicy, fruit driven, and laden with flavors of cherries, red plum, and dried herbs.

Best of all, the wine comes in a liter-sized bottle and costs just $16, meaning the bang for your buck is seriously real. Next time pizza, pasta, or anything with red sauce is on the menu, this should hands down be the wine on the table.

Stop by, say hello, and grab a bottle (or few) to sip this season – we'd love to see you in person.

Cheers!
