food-friendly Italian red that works beautifully with pasta
and this wine leans into that central-southern Italian style very nicely – generous fruit
almost dusty tannins adding a welcome structure and long finish
but there is still a lively streak of acidity running through it
or pheasant
Chateau Tirecul La Graviere, Monbazillac Selection de Grains Nobles, 2021 (50cl) Chile food-friendly Italian red that worksLa Graviere is a mix of botrytised grapes from old vines that are picked and fermented together before being aged in barrel for between 12 36 months, depending on vintage. No sugar is added, the result is entirely natural. A glorious wine, rich and intense, with floral, candied fruit aromas, orange peel marmalade, and exotic spicy notes. A soft and elegant palate with balanced acidity and a very long finish. Monbazillac, France Semillon, & Muscadelle
