Look who's back!!
Our 2020 Giovina is an approachable yet serious red with true Italian flair. Medium-bodied with cherry notes and an earthy kick, it’s one of Italy’s classic food wines sporting food-friendly freshness and structure. Giovina complements the tanginess of tomato-based sauces and balances the richness of hearty meat dishes and salty cheeses with its taut tannins. This is the kind of red that makes Italians smile!
Perfect pairings: Cheez-It® crackers (white cheddar version is best!) or black olives in a can.
Good Stuff, Fun Facts:
This year’s wine was harvested from vineyards located in southeastern Abruzzo. Surrounded by olive groves and native forest, the region sits between the gorgeous Adriatic coast and the western slopes of the highest mountains on the Italian peninsula. Our newest grower founded in 1964, has been certified biodynamic from Demeter in 2003 with about 1/3 of the grapes being biodynamic, the balance all organic. All grapes are certified vegan.
