Martissima, Collio Rosso 2020

Venica & Venica is at the top of the quality hierarchy in the Italian region of Friuli, and Marta Venica literally grew up alongside its vines. Now, she organically farms her own small vineyard nearby in Collio. Her Collio Rosso is a blend of local grapes, which are farmed organically and plowed by horse before being harvested by hand. The resulting wine has the smoky, peppery character of Northern Rhône syrah, as well as the brightness of Beaujolais.

Tastes like: Blackberry, White Pepper, Clove.

How to drink: Alongside cheesy risotto or pepperoni pizza.
