Love fruity, medium-bodied red wines? Well, you’re in luck – as Perfect Cellar has just discounted a premium ruby montepulciano vino that will pair with just about everything.

It’s also great value for money at less than £15 – and now, you can get it for even cheaper thanks to Perfect Cellar’s exclusive discount for The Independent readers. Here’s everything you need to know.

Boasting a deep crimson hue with violet undertones, this wine has a red fruit aroma. The palate is described as a dry, savoury profile with a subtle tannic edge, creating a well-rounded and balanced wine.

On the nose, you’ll discover typical notes of liquorice and fresh mint. Best paired with elaborate meats, such as braised or roasted, and with aged cheeses, it’s a must-have for date nights, dinner parties and beyond.
