Stefano De Pieri

Stefano knows wines don’t have to be complicated to be good so put your wine-speak dictionary away for this.

All you need to know is that this is the perfect red to share with friends some lazy afternoon. Get them to bring easy-going nibbles like olives, sun-dried tomatoes on rounds of toasted baguette and discs of grilled Chorizo sausage.

Just make sure you’re not down to your last bottle when they turn up – you won’t be popular if you run out.

Author, TV personality, raconteur, celebrity chef… Stefano de Pieri has pretty much done it all.

He was born near Venice, and moved to Oz in 1974 where he stirred things up in politics. Then he moved to mixing stuff together in the kitchen and opened his own restaurant in the Grand Hotel, Mildura. It’s now widely acclaimed as one of the finest in Australia.

Stefano remains unwaveringly passionate about the joys of simple, fresh food and awesome wine – and you can’t argue with that!
