The three-grape blend, Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, give rise to the name, TRE. This mid-weight wine (13.5% stated alcohol) delivers an array of red and black fruit notes surrounded by mild tannins. Bright and lively, it has good density and surprising complexity and polish for the price. Its lively acidity makes it a good choice for hearty pasta dishes or a beef ragu this winter.
