Tedeschi, Italy
Majestic, £5.49, or buy two for £4.67 each
Anyone keen on Italian-inspired alfresco summer menus will need to serve a zingy Italian summer red or two as partners. This good, pale, gently bitter bardolino from the shores of Lake Garda in the Veneto, and made by the highly regarded Tedeschi family, is a safe summer bet. Dive into a cool glass of this earthy, sour, pickled cherry of a red on a hot day with beef carpaccio, and you will see what I mean.
