Obviously from the Barbera grape, this charming rosso offers easy drinking pleasure, with character. Deeply coloured, bursting with ripe fruit, medium bodied, soft tannins, great balance and surprising length. A very satisfying red displaying ripe field berry scents with a subtle mineral finish. Try this seductive red with tagliatelle con funghi, a great match! Enjoy!
A lovely blend of Syrah (50%), Grenache (40%) and Carignan (10%) that comes from the village of Latour de France in Roussillon. Crafted at Domaine de Bila-Haut, this charming organic red offers perfectly ripe flavours balanced by soft acidity. The nose displays dark berry scents (balckberry, currant) with licorice and spicy hints. Medium to full bodied, velvety tannins, surprisingly easy drinking with good length. Match this well priced red with pork fillets in a caper and balsamic vinegar sauce. Outstanding!
A lovely rosso offering the rare occasion to enjoy an evolved wine surfing on its maturity plateau. From the Salento district in Puglia, this interesting blend of Negroamaro (85%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) reveals a deep garnet colour with an orange rim (evolution). The rather traditional-old school nose exudes some cooked fruit, forest floor, tobacco and floral hints. Quite supple, round and velvety, this seductive red also displays soft acidity, great balance and good length. Try this evolved rosso with Italian sausage and rapini pasta. Enjoy!
The fan of Pinot must try this charming version from Central Coast. Perfect for the Holiday season: as a gift, or for the classic turkey dinner! This lovely Pinot brims with seductive ripe flavours while remaining quite elegant. The nose displays typical field berry, floral and slightly spicy scents. Medium bodied with soft acidity, great balance, velvety texture and good length. Superb! Distribution is just beginning. Enjoy!
