2023 Ananto Bobal - Tempranillo Tinto
From: Utiel-Requena, Spain Blend: 65% Bobal 35% Tempranillo Taste: This youthful red wine shows off a fruit and spice medley with a lively, well-balanced palate. Strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb, and blackberries meet baking spices like allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and even a hint of ginger. These lively aromas follow through to a juicy palate wrapped in supple tannins that produce a fresh, red-fruited finish. You’ll love this wine if you love Grenache or Garnacha-based blends, Barbera, and Beaujolais. Pairing: This charming red pairs well with everything from pizza and pasta to spice-rubbed salmon. Some specific pairing ideas include serving this with chicken teriyaki, sweet and sour pork or tofu, BBQ chicken pizza, meatballs (check out the Marsala chicken meatball recipe below!), cheese and charcuterie boards, tofu with peanut-ginger sauce, sausage and polenta, and likama roasted salmon (meaning spices in Moroccan Arabic).
