The wine delights with a deep, ruby red hue, indicating its maturity and complexity. With a full body, it envelops the palate in lush textures and flavors, while its acidity presents a bright, mouthwatering lift that balances the richness beautifully. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark cherry, plum, and subtle hints of spice that make each sip enjoyable. Tannins are firm yet elegant, providing structure and a pleasant lingering finish. This well-crafted vintage, from 2004, reflects the dedication and artistry of Zyme, making it a true gem in the world of red wines.

Veneto

The Veneto (pronounced VEN-uh-toh) super-region in northeastern Italy is the engine room of Italian wine. The area sweeps inland of the Gulf of Venice from the Slovenian border west to Verona. It is a transitional region, sitting between the Alpine north and the drier central lands; Veneto enjoys a balmy Mediterranean climate that makes it a haven for vineyards. Veneto is famous for its prosecco and prosecco rosé, but also produces crisp, aromatic whites like Pinot Grigio and mouthwatering reds such as Sangiovese and Merlot.
