To Enhance this Dish

With this hearty dish, let's choose a sun-kissed wine from the same region: an Italian wine from the south of the country. A strong, well-structured wine made from the Primitivo grape variety, which has been grown in Puglia for over 2,000 years. It is the typical grape variety of hot climates.

Muso Rosso - Primitivo Di Manduria Doc - Tagaro

This delicious, fruity cuvée offers great value for money and is the ideal bottle for discovering Italian wines! It stands out for its full-bodied, harmonious palate. With its pronounced tannins, it pairs very well with red meat in sauce and has enough character to counteract the strong flavours of tomatoes, which do not go well with all wines!

This Italian delight will appeal to lovers of full-bodied, fruity red wines. It offers an intense, harmonious palate that opens the taste buds to hearty dishes with Bolognese sauce. The tannins linger on the palate, counterbalancing the acidity of the tomato. It is nevertheless refined and round on the palate, with a fruity bouquet of cherries and plums, and hints of wood and tobacco that linger on the finish as if by magic. These aromas are due to ageing in medium-toasted French oak barrels for five months. It is then bottled and aged in the bottle for four months. Finesse and balance are the order of the day, guaranteeing a sunny pairing that showcases Italian cuisine.

All in all, this is a cuvée full of tenderness and indulgence for the taste buds, which will pair wonderfully with other Mediterranean dishes. In tutta la semplicità!
