Tasting Notes and Wine Pairing Suggestions

Italian-inspired, tart red cherry and juicy plum, leathery with rustic tannins.

The inspo for this was Finocchiona salami, but it’s delicious with whatever you like on your charcuterie board. It also works great with old school pasta with red sauce, lasagna, grilled Italian sausage or a La Scala style chopped salad.
