Montemelino 'Malpasso' Rosso NV - 1L (Liter)

Region: Umbria, Italy
Grape(s): Sangiovese
Winemaker: Sabina Cantarelli
Drinks Best: Now - 2 Years

Margaret Etten Cantarelli, a German ex-pat living in Umbria, made her first vintage of wine in 1961. With the help of her husband, Guido, they organically farmed the land overlooking Lake Trasimeno for over 50 years. Her daughter, Sabina, recently took the reins and is continuing her family’s legacy of making traditional Umbrian wines and small batch, artisanal olive oil. ‘Malpasso’ is their table wine, made entirely from Sangiovese and bottled in larger format liter bottles that are perfect for sharing at the dinner table. Fruit-driven aromas of black cherry, red plum, and dusty earth introduce a medium-bodied palate loaded with red berry fruit and the perfect amount of spice.

Pairing: Pasta Alla Norcina - Creamy Pasta with Italian Sausage
