An impressive and utterly enjoyable red wine, Bianchi 2016 “Particular” pleases with its savory, summery fruit (cherries, plums, berries) and touches of spice, all of it nicely balanced with just the right amount of tannin. It’s a versatile wine too: I enjoyed it not long ago with a flank steak and more recently with grilled salmon, and the wine rose to the occasion in both instances.
