2023 WFC Vino Rosso Italiano

This wine dazzles with a beautiful pale ruby color, gently fading into garnet at the edges, offering a subtle yet refined visual appeal. On the nose, it greets you with a deep blend of ripe blackberries and Bing cherries, complemented by the warm, comforting notes of graham cracker and a touch of fennel. A whisper of black pepper adds a delicate layer of spice, inviting further exploration.

On the palate, the wine offers a balanced profile with mild acidity that enhances its smooth, velvety mouthfeel. The moderate tannins provide structure without overwhelming, allowing the fruit-forward flavors to shine. It’s medium-bodied, with an elegant weight that feels satisfying but not too heavy.

The finish is clean and lingering, stretching into a pleasant 30 seconds with a gentle echo of those bright berries and a soft touch of spice. This is a wine that balances complexity with approachability, making it a versatile option for a variety of occasions.
