Red Wines: elegance, structure, and Italian identity
The Rossi collection by Italian Wine Selection gathers a wide and authoritative selection of Italian red wines, designed for those seeking bottles capable of telling stories of territory, style, and personality.

Here you will find expressive and refined labels such as Ornellaia, Tenuta San Guido, Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, Antinori, Quintarelli, Banfi, Planeta, and many other realities that have contributed to defining the quality of Italian red wine. The selection includes celebrated expressions from Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto, Sicily, Campania, Sardinia, Abruzzo, Alto Adige, and other vocated areas, with styles ranging from tannic finesse to structured power.
A journey through denominations, grape varieties, and territories
The red wines in this collection enhance territories and denominations among the most appreciated in Italy. From the depth of Brunello di Montalcino and Barolo to the personality of Chianti Classico, up to the richness of Bolgheri, Valpolicella, Etna, Taurasi, and Valtellina, each bottle expresses a precise balance between grape, soil, and the producer's hand.
Among the most representative grape varieties are Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Negroamaro, Aglianico, Nero d'Avola, Cannonau, and Lagrein. This variety allows for navigation among different profiles: from fresh and vertical reds to full-bodied, complex wines suitable for aging.
Recommended pairings
Red wine is a natural choice to accompany dishes with strong and structured flavors. It pairs successfully with red meats, braised dishes, game, roasts, rich first courses, and aged cheeses. The most elegant and aromatic labels can enhance preparations based on mushrooms, truffles, and game, while the more intense and soft reds are ideal with slow-cooked and flavorful recipes.
For optimal tasting, reds are generally appreciated at controlled room temperature, allowing them to best express aromas, tannic structure, and taste complexity. The choice of the right bottle depends on the occasion: a young and immediate red for everyday dining, or a great wine from an important vintage for a special dinner or to enrich your cellar.

The collection includes producers of absolute importance such as Antinori and various interpretations signed by iconic wineries in the Italian landscape, confirming a selection built to offer quality, recognizability, and depth of choice. Each label is selected to meet different needs, from the collector to the enthusiast wishing to discover great Italian red wines.
