Wine By Nine

Red Wine by Cavit from Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. This vibrant red wine is made from 100% Teroldego (teh-RAWL-deh-goh) grapes grown in the northern Italian province of Trentino, from vineyards surrounding the Rotaliana plain, north of the city of Trento. Hand-picked grapes are macerated on the skins for 8-10 days in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is matured partly in large Slavonian oak casks for three months to preserve its distinctive fruit concentration and smooth tannins. Aromas of fresh raspberries and blackberries give way to a palate that is medium-bodied and dry with flavors of black cherries, wild berries and a hint of almond. The taste leads into a long finish with a profile similar to Shiraz. Color is ruby red with violet reflections. Very food-friendly, and terrific with grilled or roasted red meats, pastas, risottos and fish dishes prepared with flavorful sauces. Enjoy at room temperature.

Red Wine by La Vis from Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. The Lagrein varietal is indigenous to Trentino and has been cultivated in the hillside vineyards of Sorni and Pressano for many decades. This wine is made using grapes harvested from vines that are 15-20 years of age. The wine spends 2 months in oak and 3-4 months in bottle before release. This wine is a ruby red color with violet tones when young, turning to light garnet when mature. Spicy blackberry and cherry notes on the nose that on the palate develop into deep berry fruit flavors accented by hints of soft leather, tobacco and mint. Rich, soft and medium-bodied. Match with grilled meats and soft cheeses.
