This old favourite has been consumed by CEOs, grandmothers and home-schooling parents that The Allotment know on personal terms.

It's a delicious wine and unassumingly good value with loads of charm and versatility to boot. Delicious with pizza or grills, casseroles or on its own, it is much better than reliable and is never far from the table.

Candido are a family-run winery established in 1929 as a grower of commercial grapes on 400 hectares of vines outside San Donaci. In 1957 the family began vinifying their grapes and the attention that they drew for a wide range of excellent wines was considerable almost immediately.

This is the most classical of their wines and comes from older vineyards in the region around the town of Salento.
