Easter and my approach to wine-buying is to treat it like a mini-Christmas. I order wine by the (mixed) case, aiming for one or two treaty bottles to open with the Easter Sunday leg of lamb, plus a mixture of easy-going reds to slot into the days around it.We had a rubbish Easter in 2021, so the Fuligni Rosso di Montalcino we had planned to drink is still waiting on the rack.

Tuscan reds are great with lamb, particularly if the lamb is cooked with lots of rosemary and garlic and you serve Italian sides such as cannellini beans with a garlic and crème fraîche sauce, borlotti bean stew, cavolo nero or shaved-fennel salad.

Lea & Sandeman has the 2019 Fuligni Rosso di Montalcino – a good vintage – for £30.50.Left Bank claret – or any other cabernet sauvignon-based blend – is another classic with lamb.

If you are not the sort of Bordeaux drinker who buys en primeur and has a cellar to raid, then Aldi has a very good one: Château d’Arsac Margaux 2016 (online only, £19.99) is 72 per cent cabernet sauvignon, with the remainder merlot, and combines the fleshiness and focus of the brilliant 2016 vintage with some Margaux perfume.I also recommend that Bordeaux drinkers take a look at the red wines from De Martino in Chile, specifically the cabernet sauvignon and the carménère.
