Baiocco

2006 Umbria Red Blend

This vintage exudes a captivating ruby hue that hints at its rich character. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile, balanced by a bright acidity that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with delightful notes of dark cherries and plums, complemented by subtle undertones of spices and earthy nuances. Tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. This wine is expertly crafted to present a dry finish, making it an excellent choice for various culinary pairings, from hearty pastas to grilled meats. The Antonelli Baiocco is not just a wine; it is an experience that reflects the essence of Umbria’s terroir and winemaking tradition.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
