| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Italian red wines are great with turkey, as well as with other fowl. You could almost throw a dart and pick something that would work, as they're rather like heat-seeking missiles, knowing exactly what the target is and where it is. Try this medium- full-bodied dry red wine with a medium deep ruby red color, for example. The complex aromas emit scents of dried dark fruits, wet straw, and earth. Just sniffing it is compelling enough, but do go on to savor the palate, where the dried dark fruits take up the cause and complete the experience. A lingering finish with sweet fruits and a hint of almonds closes the show Grape type: Dolcetto. Serve cool, about 65°F/17°C in large tulip-shaped glasses. Bring on the feathered (and furred) game: roast duck; squab; roast turkey with sausage stuffing; grilled duck breast with fig vinegar glaze; soft cheeses; dark chocolate.
