Inside our monthly wine subscription: December 2025
Welcome to your insider notes on the wines we’re featuring in this month’s Vinito subscription. We’ll go through each of the 6 cans in December’s box along with some delicious food pairings. Let us know if you try any of these!
1. Good Wines Co. Session Fizz, Austria
- Tastes like: Granny Smith apples, lemon zest and grapefruit
- Pairs with: festive party food, green olives and salted almonds
- Insider intel: this pet nat has been fermented in the can – totally unique winemaking that creates natural, soft bubbles
- Food Pairing: serve your Session Fizz as an aperitif with a zesty ricotta dip like this one
2. BONU Pecorino, Italy
- Tastes like: a silky and complex blend of citrus, melon and pineapple
- Pairs with: goat's cheese, pasta dishes and festive smoked salmon + crème fraîche bites
- Insider intel: “Pecorino” literally means ‘little sheep’ - legend has it the grape was a favourite snack for roaming sheep in Abruzzo’s hills
- Try with: goat’s cheese & cranberry crostini - a festive twist that matches the wine’s bright, citrusy style
3. Vinca Organic White Wine, Sicily
- Tastes like: pineapple, mango and citrus with a peach-skin-like texture – it’s very moreish!
- Pairs with: seafood, Thai curry, sheep's cheeses (feta especially), and ricotta
- Insider intel: once used mostly for Marsala, Catarratto is now having a revival and single-varietal wines like this show off its bright, tropical character
- Snack sensation: this wine would be such a good match for the Roe corn ribs

4. Laylo Malbec, Spain
- Tastes like: bursting with mulberry, blueberry and plum and a touch of caramel
- Pairs with: grilled red meats, slow-cooked lamb, or a hearty stew. For something indulgent, try it with blue cheese - the richness of the wine softens the tang, creating a match made in heaven
- Insider intel: though Malbec is Argentina’s superstar, Spain’s high-altitude parcels produce wines with brighter, fresher fruit and lifted acidity
- Snack Hack: try it with mini lamb koftas - spiced, juicy, and the ultimate bite-sized match for this plush Spanish Malbec
5. Hands Off Pinot Noir, Germany
- Tastes like: cherries, dark fruits and red berries with a savoury hint
- Pairs with: lots, it’s super versatile but we have to recommend this as your festive turkey wine pairing
- Insider intel: known as the “heartbreak grape,” Pinot Noir is notoriously fussy in the vineyard, which makes Germany’s silky, cherry-bright style even more impressive
- Food Pairing: it has to be your Christmas Day turkey (or, better still - the boxing day turkey curry!)
6. The Liberator Worcester Sauce, South Africa
- Tastes like: rich with caramel, raisins and red fruit, balanced by a refreshing lift of acidity – nothing like the store-cupboard condiment of a similar name!
- Pairs with: slow sips after dinner, pairing with blue cheese, or drizzling over sticky toffee pudding for an indulgent twist
- Insider intel: first produced in 1963, this fortified wine has become a Cape classic, yet Red Muscadel remains relatively unknown outside South Africa
- Festive pairing: the ultimate cheeseboard: creamy blue cheese, triple-cream Brie, and aged Gouda with prosciutto, dried figs, candied nuts, and crusty bread
That’s a wrap for this month’s deep dive! Until next month, keep sipping, snacking, and discovering your new favourites.
