Picture a red that doesn't fight you. Kiss Me Now is soft, fruity and just a touch sweet, the kind of glass you sink into after a long day with zero homework required. Ripe plum, juicy red berries, a smooth easy finish. If big bone-dry reds usually feel like too much, this is your in. Crack it on a slow Nairobi night, get it cold, and let it do its thing.
The nose is all ripe dark fruit, think plum and blackberry with a little floral lift. First sip is rounded and gently sweet, never sticky, with raspberry and cherry rolling through. The tannins (the grippy, drying bit in a red) are turned right down here, so it stays smooth and plush from start to finish. Light on its feet, sweet enough to please a crowd, dry enough to still feel like a proper red.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Asconi, a family winery in the village of Puhoi, about 35km south of Moldova's capital Chișinău. Moldova is one of the oldest wine countries on earth and quietly one of the most wine-obsessed, and Asconi farms around 350 hectares of its own vines, turning out roughly three million bottles a year on modern Italian kit. The estate sits on the bones of an old Soviet-era cellar, but the family only started bottling under their own name back in 1994.
