"At one time this historic winegrowing region had more vines than the Napa Valley. As a result of this Appellation’s sedimentary soil and sand, phylloxera did not devastate these marvelous old vines. The wine shows rich, soft plum and ripe cherry flavors, with elements of earthy spice and dark chocolate. It pairs beautifully with osso bucco, chile verde, or marinated chicken. It’s even perfect with wood fired pizza." -Winemaker's Comments
