Wine review: The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.
My review: Strong rose aromatics, accentuated with greens like dandelions. The flavor profile is very much like the nose, rosy and overtaking, with a sharp sensation at the swallow. This is a bold Italian wine, asking only to be paired with bold foods. I would love to pair this with a dish at Carnevino within The Venetian, owned by Mario Batali!
