Rinaldi Pantarei Monferrato Rosso

A magnificent Northern Italian red wine displaying an intense, deep ruby red color with brilliant purple highlights. Crafted from a meticulously balanced estate blend of Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, the highly complex nose opens with an expansive, expressive bouquet of black cherries, wild blackberries, and dark plums. This rich fruit core is masterfully layered with sophisticated notes of sweet baking spices, cocoa powder, fresh tobacco leaf, and a delicate touch of herbaceous underbrush. On the full-bodied and beautifully rounded palate, it balances a deep concentration of dark berry fruits and a vibrant, well-integrated acidity with a plush, velvety texture and smooth, fine-grained tannins, carrying into a long, warming, and wonderfully harmonious finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with slow-braised beef shanks, roasted rack of lamb, rich pasta dishes with wild boar ragù, grilled ribeye steaks, and aged hard cheeses.
