The essentials
The Italian Wine box from Pazzini, the anti-food-waste Italian deli in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, brings together 3 bottles of Italian red — a Rosso Veneto, a Corvina del Veneto and a Montepulciano — sold at a reduced price to save them from going to waste. It's the smartest shortcut to a genuine Italian cellar: a trio of expressive, generous reds made for the table, yours for a fraction of their value. The line-up shifts with each day's stock, but the spirit never changes — Italian sunshine in the glass, zero waste, and the quiet satisfaction of rescuing three lovely bottles from a fate they didn't deserve. When they're gone, they're gone: these boxes sell fast.

Frequently asked questions
What's inside the Pazzini Italian Wine box?
The box brings together 3 bottles of Italian red wine: a Rosso Veneto, a Corvina del Veneto and a Montepulciano. The exact line-up can vary with each day's stock, but it's always a trio of Italian reds hand-picked by Pazzini, our anti-food-waste Italian deli in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.
Why are these Italian wines offered at a reduced price?
Because that's the whole anti-waste spirit of Pazzini. These perfectly good bottles could end up forgotten on a shelf or sitting in surplus stock — so rather than let them go to waste, we bundle them into a surprise box at a friendly price so they find a table where they'll be enjoyed. You get a great deal, and together we cut down on waste.
What do the Rosso Veneto, Corvina and Montepulciano taste like?
The Rosso Veneto is a smooth, fruity Venetian red that's easy to drink. The Corvina del Veneto — the signature grape of the Verona region — brings cherry and spice notes, bright and elegant. The Montepulciano, classic to central Italy, is fuller and more generous, with dark-fruit aromas. Together they cover a lovely spread of crowd-pleasing Italian reds.
How do I reserve and collect my Italian Wine box?
You reserve your box online on Pazzini, then come pick it up in store in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés with your collection code. Daily stock is limited: once you reserve a box it's held for you, but as soon as the day's quantity runs out you'll have to wait for a restock. Best to reserve the moment you see it available.
Which dishes pair well with these Italian wines?
These Italian reds are made for the table: Italian cured meats and cheeses, pizza and tomato-sauce pasta, risotto, grilled meats or a hearty plate of lasagna. The Montepulciano is a brilliant match for red meat, while the Rosso Veneto and Corvina shine over aperitivo nibbles and everyday dishes. Plenty to turn an ordinary dinner into an Italian feast.
Are the bottles in the box always the same?
The spirit of the box stays the same — 3 bottles of Italian red wine — but the exact line-up can change with deliveries and whatever surplus we have at the time. That's part of the charm of the anti-waste surprise box: every time, you discover a fresh selection of Italian reds, always at a reduced price.
