This silky and light-bodied red wine has flavors of raspberry, blackberry, violets, and vanilla. Pinot Noir is aromatic and exotic, without much tannin.
Merlot is popular for being a full-bodied wine, but smoother than Cabernet Sauvignon. This one has flavors of plum, strawberries, and cocoa.
This full-bodied and jammy Cabernet is rich and brimming with dark fruit. Blackberry jam, blueberry pie, and vanilla aromas make this perfect for most Cabernet lovers.
Primitivo is very similar to American Zinfandel: it is a heady and rich red wine, with baked fruit flavors and peppery spice. This works well with meat-heavy pizzas.
If you like Pinot Noir and wish to try an authentic Italian wine, look no further. This light-bodied wine is overflowing with cherries, roses, juniper, and fresh herbs. We hear that the Bianca would be a great compliment…This is ideal with a little bit of chill on it, and pairs very well with salty meats like sausage or prosciutto.
Belle Glos is one of the most popular California Pinot Noirs. This is from a single vineyard in the Russian River Valley (one of the best regions for Pinot Noir in the United States). This is medium-bodied and silky, with flavors of sweet strawberry, black cherry, vanilla from the French oak barrels, and roses.
A wine that goes with everything. Medium-bodied and smooth, with darker fruits and a refreshing finish. This wine won’t overpower lighter flavors but will stand up to pepperoni with ease. We also recommend this with our Amici. This is great for someone who wants to try a lesser-known Italian wine that’s a sommelier favorite. This has a great combination of both fruity and earthy flavors, and less tart than Chianti.
Bordeaux is known for Cabernet and Merlot blends with both rich fruit and earthy flavors of tobacco, leather, and turned earth. This little Bordeaux is a Merlot-based wine with the perfect balance of intense dark fruit, aromas of leather and tobacco, and subtle green herbs. Full-bodied and rich, this is the wine for the afficionado who enjoys Napa but wants something more subtle and food friendly. Have a decanter? Good.
This lovely little blend is a lighter expression of Cabernet and Merlot. It is zesty, easy-going and goes with everything. This wine has flavors of strawberry, blood orange, and oregano.
Napa Cabernet from a high elevation made for the Napa Valley die-hard. No flavor is too big to overwhelm the gorgeous flavor integration of dark and brambly fruit, sandalwood, and tobacco. Bold and grippy.
Barolo is one of Italy’s most famous wines. Coming from the Northern Italian region of the Piedmont, this village makes wine from a grape called Nebbiolo. If you like Chianti, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet, this is the perfect Italian option for you. Paolo Scavino Barolo is delicately floral, with an assertive tannic grip, subtle earthiness and pretty fruit. We would pair it with the Portobello, but this wine is so good that one could drink it with anything.
So, you like Cabernet but would like to try something new…Italy has a number of grippy and bold red wines that can compete. This little Aglianico is bold, dark-fruited, and earthy. Think leather, tar, and smoke. Drink with anything that has meat. This is another lesser-known Italian wine for the real foodie from Southern Italy.
Bold Cab? Check. Good Value? Check. Still family-owned? Check. This muscular wine can even take on the Chicago Deep-dish Con Carne. This is a full-bodied wine from sunny Paso Robles in California. It has flavors of black cherries, blueberries, and fig, with sweet vanilla from the oak.
Chianti is a favorite to go with Italian food because it is medium-bodied, red fruited, and has savory herbal flavors that work well with red sauce. This wine has flavors of cranberry, red cherries, thyme, and terra cotta.
