Rosso

2008 Umbria Merlot 85%, Cabernet Franc 15%

The Ambo Rosso from the esteemed Umbria region presents an exquisite blend primarily composed of Merlot complemented by a touch of Cabernet Franc. This captivating red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile with a velvety texture that invites you to explore its depths. The acidity is notably bright, enhancing the overall experience and providing a refreshing lift to the palate. With a medium level of fruit intensity, the wine unveils delightful notes of ripe blackcurrant and subtle hints of plum, harmoniously intertwined with earthy undertones. The tannins are firm yet finely integrated, offering structure and elegance without overwhelming the senses. As a dry wine, the Ambo Rosso elegantly balances richness with a crisp finish, making it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes or a delightful experience on its own.

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.
