Tasting Notes: A bright, light and fruity wine with brambly, huckleberry and red currant characters throughout. A gentle susarrus of warming spice filters through the dominant, wild fruit notes on the peaty nose and the finish of the slightly, effervescent, light-bodied palate. Think tomato-driven dishes when pairing this wine; red sauce pastas and pizzas or a simple, Caprese salad.
