Vinum

2005 Venezia Giulia Merlot 68%, Chardonnay 17%, Pinot Grigio 15%

Foffani Vinum is a beautifully crafted red wine that showcases a harmonious blend of Merlot, Chardonnay, and Pinot Grigio, with the Merlot taking center stage in this unique composition. The wine's enticing, deep red color hints at its rich flavor profile, while its smooth texture offers a well-rounded mouthfeel that is both enjoyable and inviting. In the glass, you'll discover a delightful balance of bright acidity that keeps the wine lively and refreshing, complemented by medium tannins that provide subtle structure without overwhelming the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, delivering layers of ripe blackberries and cherries, alongside delicate notes of citrus and stone fruit from the Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio varietals. This wine is decidedly dry, making it an exceptional choice for food pairings, from hearty pasta dishes to grilled meats, truly embodying the spirit of its Venezia Giulia origin.

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.
