This exquisite 2013 vintage showcases a medium body with vibrant acidity that dances on the palate, adding a refreshing lift to its fruit-forward character. The wine presents a prominent intensity of dark cherry and plum notes, complemented by subtle undertones of almond and a hint of spice. Its tannins are soft and approachable, making it a fantastic choice for both casual sipping and pairing with a variety of dishes.

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.
