Tasting Notes: The Bastianich Calabrone is a red wine made from Refosco and Merlot grapes. A portion of these are dried to soften the tannins and provide depth to the wine. The nose is filled with chocolate, spice, coffee and mature red fruit. The palate has intense fruit, considerable power and grip, while maintaining elegance and acidic balance on the finish. This deep red wine is ideal with robust red meat dishes, especially game, like wild boar and venison.
Estate History: The Bastianich winery, founded in 1997, strives to understand the history and culture of Friuli Venezia Giulia and propel it to a new level. The wines created at this estate showcase the terroir of Friuli — a region with cool temperatures, beautiful hillsides, and famous grape varieties — while also boasting remarkable power and balance throughout their wine selection.
