WINEMAKING NOTES:
Our 2011 Il Donato Vino Rosso is ruby red in color with rich aromas of blackberries, dates, a hint of black pepper and dark plum. Flavors of blueberry, tart cherry, pomegranate seed and an earthy minerality are carried by subtle notes of cocoa nibs through the finish. Soft, long and intensely flavored, this wine has a classic old-world terroir. Our Vino Rosso is sourced primarily from Puglia which has a dry Mediterranean climate, with moderately loose clay soils producing fi ne dry wine. Medium-bodied and firmly structured this Vino Rosso will pair nicely with osso buco, agnello e patate al forno (roasted lamb and potatoes) or baked eggplant lasagna.
