Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Greek moussaka
  • Grilled New York strip steaks
  • Spicy and smoky beef and black bean chili

This savory and succulent Rosso Piceno Superiore is densely packed with a heady mix of smoked meat, wild flowers, and chewy blackberry fruit. A brilliant purple hue, just the right amount of earth, and a solid structural core make this a crowd-pleasing winner that has enough gamey character to appeal to wine geeks alike.
