ALLEGRIA (Happiness)
Red Reserve 2009 (Italian, American, and French alliance)
A blend of Nero D’Avola, Zinfandel, and Petite Sirah.
A sincere and apparently easy wine, indeed fascinating. The result of this blend is remarkably inviting. The bouquet is austere, with flashes of ripe fruit that serve to expose this unusual blend. In the mouth it’s lean-edged, crispy, and intense. In the middle it’s slightly plummy with black pepper and moss. The finish leaves you with an intriguing echo of toasty vanilla.
A wine that loves lamb with onions and rice, braciole, meatballs, or caponata. Goes very well with pasta pescatora, various cheeses, and some gourmet meals.
Drink now and for years to come.
Salute to Happiness!
