| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Yup, Barbera. And you thought such a grape type couldn’t be Kosher? But Italy produces all manner of Italian grape types as Kosher wines. This example is a medium-bodied dry red wine with a purple-red color; it offers aromas that suggest dried dark fruits with a hint of black pepper, followed by flavors that blend dried and fresh dark fruits—plums, cherries, black currants, dark Muscat raisins. Barbera’s characteristic tartness is softened in this example, and the tannins and acidity are well integrated with the fruit. Mid palate thins out a bit. The oak aging occurs in one- and two-year-old French oak barrels. Integration of fruit and oak is spot on. Kosher and Kosher for Passover, but not Mevushal. Serve cool, about 60-65°F/15-17°C, in large tulip-shaped red-wine glasses. The name Recanati comes from a small 12th-century hill town jn the Marche on the Adriatic coast that was home to poets and painters. Foods: Chicken or veal gremolata (osso buco), braised lamb shank, grilled lamb sausages, cured meats, grilled meats, picadillo, lasagna, pasta with well-seasoned meat sauces.
