Achille IGT Toscana, Bindi Sergardi 2022
2022 Achille from the Bindi Sergardi family is back - and just in time because I opened my last bottle this week! This is one of my favourite red wines in the FromVineyardsDirect portfolio - my go-to Italian red wine.
I owe my colleague and founder of FromVineyardsDirect, David Campbell, a big 'thank you' here for introducing me to the Achille. Because before I joined FromVineyardsDirect, I'd long been searching for a ‘house’ Italian red. But since trying this predominantly Sangiovese cuvée, I haven’t looked back. So again, thank you, David!
Cherry, cranberry, redcurrant, and a subtle herbaceous character of blackcurrant leaf on the nose. There are spicy, floral aromas, too, and the palate is round, smooth, and soft. Medium bodied and immensely drinkable on its own, or as an incredibly versatile match to almost any Italian inspired dish, especially those that are tomato-based.
At home, we drink Achille with ragù alla bolognese, lasagne, pizza, and it works perfectly with all the flavours in our butter bean stew - enjoyed at the time of writing – especially sun-dried tomatoes, dill, cinnamon, paprika, and feta cheese.
Previous buyers of our popular Achille won’t need convincing, but if any of the above dishes resonate with you, then I encourage you to try this wine – it might become your 'Achilles' heel', too.

Definitely my favourite FVD find of recent time. The wine is full to bursting of rich, luscious fruit - well balance finish. Pairs with lots and lots of food. Excellent value
FBD description is spot on. Delicious, well-made wine with a touch of elegance, excellent with food and yet affordable and good value for money. Baby super-Tuscan. Will buy again.
Still excellent value from a very good producer. Just right with the oak for me.
