Castel Firmian teroldego rotaliano Riserva 2019

This lush, velvetty red from the Dolomites surprises everyone who tastes it.
With similarities to barbera, this wine works brilliantly with richer foods, such as cured meats, cheeses, and game birds such as quail or duck.

It's by no means a heavy red, but does have some weight - perhaps surprising for a northern Italian wine from the foothills of a mountain range. The dark plum fruit, and toasty oak from the barrel ageing work together for a seamless, well padded smoking jacket of a wine.
