2023 Francesco Brigatti 'Selvalunga' Colline Novaresi Uva Rara

From: Alto Piemonte, ItalyVarietal: Uva Rara Taste: This sleek Italian red is all about charm and easy-drinking. It flaunts a pale ruby color, exuding fine elegance with a nose dominated by raspberry, currant, and red cherry notes, sprinkled with hints of rose, violet, and spices. The palate mirrors this elegance, presenting a sapid, medium-bodied wine with medium persistence.Pairing: Enjoy this red wine with medium-cured salami, youthful cheeses, roasted poultry, BBQ, pastas, and Asian cuisine that incorporates Chinese Five Spice, fermented black bean, and/or dishes that includes umami-laden flavors (see below for recipe). Some sauce examples that add umami are soy or oyster sauce (ps Amino Sauce is an organic, vegan, gluten-free alternative to Soy Sauce), fish sauce, and Worcester sauce. This easy-to-drink, youthful wine will delight with its lively character, offering a delightful accompaniment to a variety of light-to-medium dishes.Orange BeefBy Sam Sifton About. Tucked away in the
