You may need help pouring these…
Leonardo Da Vinci Chianti 2020 5L Bottle – #661116 – $119.95
They don’t come much bigger than this! 5L works out to about 35 standard glasses of wine, so you’ll need some friends and family for this one. This wine is a great companion for holiday fare, with a light colour and flavours of spice, earth, and juicy red berries it’s a match for charcuterie and hard cheeses, the traditional turkey, stuffing and fixin’s, or a more casual pizza and pasta night with a bigger group. And if you have a Chianti lover on your holiday shopping list, this would be a BIG hit!
Terre d’Aligi Tatone Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2017 3L Bottle – #27981 – $74.95
This 3L bottle comes in a decorative tin with a colour scheme that will look great under the tree, but the bottle inside is equally beautiful. In a wider format than other 3L bottles, the Tatone is built to pour and share. 3L is about 21 glasses of vino, so while you may be able to pour this bottle unassisted, you’ll need some company to polish it off. Flavours of black currant and red berry fruit, violet notes, and sweet baking spices are integrated over 24 months in large oak barrels, leading to a smooth, balanced wine. These fruit and spice notes, along with a fresh acidity, make it perfect for cheeses and appetizers, or richer holiday dishes like scalloped potatoes, turkey and gravy, or roast ham.
