TUSCANY, ITALY

A note from the winemaker: Dark ruby.  Aromas of iris, rosemary & lavender, bright red cherries and mint explode from the glass. The youthful, easygoing palate offers juicy cherry, white pepper and clove hints alongside pliant tannins. This is a spot-on value that will drink well over the next couple of years.

Food Pairings: Spaghetti Bolognese, lamb Milanese, or stuffed bell peppers.
