Italy

There's a brightness to the fruit in Valpolicella that keeps us coming back for more. The Iperico opens with bouncy red fruits on the nose, along with some serious earthen elements, a whiff of tobacco, and just a touch of herbal green. The palate confirms all of this, along with notes of dark chocolate and a lively rustic quality to the finish. A fabulous food wine! DARK FOOD-FRIENDLY EARTHEN SPICED BRIGHT

The signature foods of Veneto are often a combination of land and sea. We recommend the same when pairing with the Iperico. Venice's signature risotto, risotto di seppie, is made black with cuttlefish ink and will do excellently. Less adventurous items like a classic Caesar salad with plenty of anchovies in the dressing, or a plate of Italian cheeses and meats, like Asiago, Grano Padano, and Salami, will also be quite good.
