    Winemaker Notes

    Color: Brilliant ruby-red.

    Bouquet: Delicate aromas of cherries, fig and spices, very fruity with syrah-like notes.

    Taste: Soft yet intense with a pleasant lingering finish.

    This wine is well suited for antipasta, pasta with tomatoes or rice dishes and is particularly recommended with grilled meats and sausages.

    Terrale, Italy
    The Terrale wines from Sicily and Puglia are produced by Calatrasi which emerged in the 1990s as one of southern Italy's most progressive wine producers. Owned by Sicily's Micciche family, Calatrasi has played a pivotal role in shaping a positive new identity for southern Italian wines. Calatrasi controls about 2,500 acres of vineyards in Sicily alone.

    Italian Red Wine

    While picturesque hillsides, endless coastlines and a favorable climate serve to unify the grape-growing culture of this country. The apparent never-ending world of indigenous grape varieties gives Italy an unexampled charm and allure for its red wines. From the steep inclines of the Alps to the sprawling, warm, coastal plains of the south, red grape varieties thrive throughout.

    The kings of Italy, wines like Barolo and Barbaresco (made of Nebbiolo), and Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino (made of Sangiovese), as well as Amarone (mostly Corvina), play center stage for the most lauded, collected and cellar-worthy reds. Less popular but entirely deserving of as much praise are the wines made from Aglianico, Sagrantino and Nerello Mascalese.

    For those accustomed to drinking New World reds, the south is the place to start. Grapes like Negroamaro or Primitvo from Puglia and Nero d’Avola from Sicily make soft, ammicable, full-bodied, fruit-dominant wines. Curious palates should be on the lookout for Cannonau (Grenache), Lagrein, Teroldego, Ruché, Freisa, Cesanese, Schiopettino, Rossese and Gaglioppo to name a few.
