Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas
Impenetrable ruby red. Aromas of anise, wood grain and vanilla are front and center in this riserva. Baked raspberry and cherry flavors carry the medium-bodied palate, with bright enough acidity to lend support. It ends on more sweet spice tones.
Go beautifully with hearty, savory dishes, such as beef brisket, hamburgers, beef bolognese, tagliatelle, ragu, smoked or barbecued meats.
Winery Profile
The “Paride D’Angelo” winery is based in Pianella, a territory nestled between Majella, Gran Sasso and the Adriatic Sea. A unique and enchanting place, exposed completely to the south, always well exposed to the sun, dawn to dusk.
The winery belongs to Paride D’Angelo, son of a wine critic, who, fascinated by the father’s job, decided to dedicate his life to wine.
The winery’s philosophy: Working well in the countryside reaching thehighest quality of the fruit so as not to treat the wines in the cellar. Selection of yeasts directly from the skins and from my shoots. In the cellar, the wines are refined only in steel and in cement for Montepulciano. High acidity so that the wines mature and age over time.
