By Berritta RED | BOLD The bombshell babe to Thurcalesu’s girl-next-door WHAT WE TASTE Plump raisins, balsamic vinegar and thyme PERFECT PAIRING Sticky rice, ripened cheese, Xinjiang food TEMP CHECK Cellar temperature (18-ish degrees), because, you know, we all have one of those. If you’re feeling fancy, get out the decanter (or just open it an hour or 2 before drinking) ABOUT BERRITTA This tiny operation, started in 2007 by the spirited Sardinian Antonio Berritta, operates out of the basement of a grocery store. Antonio, his wife Maria Paola and their kids, Serena and Francesco are all involved in the operations of the winery – under the meticulous direction of the grandkids. Antonio’s family has been cultivating olives and vines using traditional methods for generations. This stuff really is in their blood! OUR FAVE THING ABOUT THIS WINE It may be Grenache (technically) – but it’s Grenache like you’ve never had it before! Some say Grenache may actually have originated in Sardinia. If it’s making wines this delicious, who are we to argue? THE TECHNICAL STUFF Place: Dorgali, Sardinia, Italy Grape: Cannonau Style: This is a big one! Ingredients: Grapes + minimal SO2
