With the rich, ripe character one might expect from a red wine from southern Italy, Torcicoda delivers an opulent blend of plum and cherry flavors along with hints of savory spice and dark chocolate. This unfiltered wine is well balanced, and it can be an excellent companion for grilled steaks or chops, pizza, and lasagna or other red-sauced pasta preparations.
