Product Description

Tasting Notes:

This full-bodied yet delicate, perfumed wine features flavours of cranberry, pomegranate, and rose petal, with undertones of dried herbs and tobacco. It has medium-plus acidity and high tannins, giving it a structure similar to Nebbiolo. For pairings, look no further than Italy's famed San Marzano tomatoes, which share the volconic slopes of Mt. Etna with these vineyards. It also complements truffles, mushrooms, roasted meats, sausages, meatballs, dishes with tomato sauce, and charcuterie. For cheese pairings, consider full-bodied cheeses like Fondue, Fontina, and Gouda.
