Tintoretto 2017 Vino Rosso Italy

Description

Wine has been made on the Italian peninsula for millennia. You could almost say that winemaking is in the blood or collective consciousness of the people. The third release from Tintoretto is a classic example of Italian winemaking with a focus on the south. Made with 100% Nero d’Avola grapes from Sicily, this wine is rich and full of life with powerful notes of dark fruits— juicy blackberry and plum— subtly playing off of notes of black pepper and just a touch of earthy umami. It brightens up most dishes, so don’t be afraid to try it with heavier fish dishes, roasted eggplant, spicy pasta, or even capers and olives. Judges love it too! It took home 93 Points and a Gold Medal at the 2019 International Eastern Wine Competition!
