| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Talk about your basic fruit salad!!! These grapes come from from multiple locations all over Italy. The composition is Sangiovese (50%--the grape of Tuscany), Nero d’Avola (20%--representing Sicilia); Corvina (14%--normally found in Valpolicella); Syrah (10%) and Rondiinella (6%--also one of the grapes of Valpolicella). Although technically not able to be vintage dated as the wine is sourced from multiple locations, making it a vino da tavola, it is in fact from the 2007 vintage (see the back label). One might think of this wine as a “Super Italian.“ Moreover, four different winemakers collaborated on this project. Medium-bodied with an opaque purple red color, the wine opens with aromas of dried and cooked dark fruit and sun-baked tar. Fresh dark fruits grip the palate, and tannins are soft and supple. The alcohol isn’t very high by the numbers (13.9%) but there is heat in the finish. Cool temperatures will temper this somewhat, as will the presence of rich food.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Coarse-textured terrines with mushrooms (pâté forestière); sorpressata; roasted black olives with lemon; Parmigiano Reggiano; simple tomato meat lasagna; cider-brined pork chop (Pine Street Market); chicken cacciatore; meat ravioli with tomato sauce; meat pies. Winery suggests fillet mignon, grilled portobello mushrooms with balsamic and veal scallopini.
