Italy

There's a certain verve and energy to Italian wine, particularly Italian red wine that's tough to replicate, and this wine from Piemonte has that energy in spades. Opening with a nose of dark, almost dried fruit, and earth, the palate has tremendous lift, with fresh blackberries, and a touch of earth, with some real structure.

If you're feeling like matching this wine with pasta, bolognese, ragù, or amatriciana will all go very well, along with grilled lamb chops or pork shoulder steaks. Richer grilled vegetables will be delightful, as well.
