EMILIA-ROMAGNA, ITALY

The charisma of Sangiovese, the breed of Cabernet Sauvignon, and fragrance of Merlot create a rich bouquet and a silky, supple palate.

Appearance: A light, purple-shot red.

Bouquet: Rich aromas of dried plum, sweet violets, and wild red berry.

Gusto: A velvet delight on the palate, displaying the crisp fruit classic to Sangiovese, the smoothness of Merlot, and the pungent balsam of Cabernet Sauvignon. The finish is near-endless and with all its components in perfect proportion.

Food Pairings: First courses of meat, cured Mora Romagnola pork cuts, and roasts.
