2010 Calabria Sangiovese Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon

Poderi Marini Korone is a stunning blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon that perfectly embodies the character of Calabria.

The body strikes a balance that provides both presence and smoothness, while the acidity is vibrant and energizing, bringing a refreshing quality to each sip. On the palate, the fruit intensity shines through with delightful notes of dark cherry and plum, elevated by subtle layers of spice and earthiness. The tannins are gracefully structured, adding a firm backbone without overwhelming the senses, contributing to a beautifully integrated finish. This wine is an excellent companion to hearty Italian dishes, showcasing the allure of Southern Italy's terroir in every pour.

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.
