Il Ghizzano 2020 / Rosso Tenuta di Ghizzano
Red 14% ABV ABV Il GhizzanoSolid dinner party wine
Brought this to a friend's dinner party and everyone enjoyed it. Nice aromatics when you swirl it around, nothing fake or overdone. It's not going to blow your mind but it's genuinely well made and easy to drink — clean finish too. Happy with it.
Really solid Italian red
Picked this up from my local wine shop on their recommendation and glad I did. Lovely rich fruit but not over the top, and it stayed fresh even at 14%. Decanted it for about an hour before a Sunday roast and it was perfect — would definitely buy again.
Decent, bit pricey though
It's a nice enough red, clean and well made, nothing wrong with it at all. But for nearly £22 I expected a bit more wow factor. Would probably reach for something else at that price point next time.
Birthday treat that delivered
My wife got me this for my birthday and we had it with a slow-cooked beef ragu. The fruit is ripe but not jammy which I really liked, and the finish just goes on and on without any burn despite the higher alcohol. One of those wines where you keep going back for another sip.
Good but give it time to breathe
First glass I wasn't that impressed honestly, felt a bit tight. But after sitting in the decanter for a while it really opened up — proper depth to it with layers of flavour coming through. At £22 it's fair for what you get.
