Aged, full bodied, rich and round. Coconut and overripe melons, toasted oak notes. Pairs well with braised meats, butter sauces, and heavy starches.

Underripe cherries, strawberries, white pepper notes. Pair with aglio e olio, fried fish, fries & aioli.

Ripe berries and jam. This rose wants food, but is such a cool bottle to open and drink by itself, to watch it change sip by sip.

Very Italian, good structure, herbaceous. Pairs well with poultry and game, pastas of any kind, and heavy vegetable dishes.
