Product Info

Terroir
Sourced from select vineyards across Italy, this wine reflects a combination of warm Mediterranean climates and varied soils, including clay and limestone. These conditions promote full ripening and concentration, while maintaining enough balance to preserve freshness and structure.

The multi-regional sourcing allows for a harmonious expression of richness and accessibility, showcasing the diversity of Italian viticulture.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
“No. 3” is typically crafted from a blend of indigenous Italian grape varieties, selected for their ability to produce depth, softness, and aromatic intensity. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

A portion of the wine is aged in oak barrels, contributing notes of spice, vanilla, and roundness to the final blend. The winemaking approach emphasizes smooth tannins and plush mouthfeel, resulting in a wine that is both expressive and easy to enjoy.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red in color, the 2021 vintage opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, complemented by hints of sweet spice, vanilla, and a touch of cocoa.

On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a rounded texture. Flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and subtle oak lead to a smooth, lingering finish with a hint of sweetness and spice.

Food Pairing & Service
A versatile and crowd-pleasing red that pairs well with:

• Pasta with rich tomato or meat sauces
• Pizza and Italian comfort dishes
• Grilled meats and sausages
• Semi-aged cheeses and antipasti

Serve at 60–65°F (16–18°C). Decanting is optional but can enhance its aromatic profile.
