comments:

Beautifully balanced with mouth-watering layers of juicy-ripe red berries with some licorice. The family who runs this winery are descendants of the poet Dante Alighieri and have making wine since 1353. Poetry and wine: any better combination? Food matches: breaded veal cutlets, stuffed pork tenderloin, mature cheeses, meat fondue.
