2019 THE ITALIAN RED
2019 THE ITALIAN RED
TRY ME IF YOU LOVE: Malbec
ABV: 14.0%
GRAPES: 100% Barbera
TASTING NOTES: Blackberry, sloe, redcurrant and cranberry. There is a mouth-filling richness and poise from the textural mid-palate. This is a wine with finesse and structure without the use of oak. Great, bright lengthy finish with a lingering savouriness. This is an absolute belter for the price, drink now.
PAIRS WITH: Great with some charcuterie a risotto or pizza.
SERVE ME: Medium bodied red so serve at room temp.
