Italian Red Wine Alternative

Offering liquorice, oak, cherries and pepper - Italian is structured, slightly grippy, and aromatic. In terms of food pairings, this style calls for umami, fat and depth to balance its tannins and spice.

Try with mushrooms, lentils and roasted vegetables, with herbs like thyme, sage, rosemary, and with anything red meat (carpaccio, thai beef salad, yakitori grilled meat).

Serve slightly chilled at around 11-12 degrees C.
