Lenzini Alicante Bouschet 'Busce'
The Lenzini Alicante Bouschet ‘Busce’ is an utterly delicious bottle of vibrant red wine. The perfect accompaniment for a bustling dinner party with good mates, plenty of bottles and big belly laughs. The wine jumps to life when paired with cured meats, cheese or pizza but our winning combo is our herby and glorious porchetta (for those of you who aren’t familiar it’s Italy’s take on a hog roast – divine, obviously.)
