Demi Collection

There's something magic about this wine. It's not from a region you've likely heard of, the Colli Euganei, but the grapes are probably as familiar as the back of your hand, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc. And the more erudite among us may expect that these were planted during the boom of Super Tuscans, but no, these have been tradition in these highly unusual hills for more than a century and a half. In this wine, their combination results in a wine that delivers the power, structure, and fruit of Bordeaux, the rustic, earthen edge of Italy, and also the freshness and elegance that comes from higher latitude, higher altitude vineyard sites. It's a stunner, full stop.

A bold, Bordeaux blend like the Versacinto will be right at home beside elegant and rugged beef preparations ranging from Tournedos Rossini to Biftek Fiorentina, or even a steak tartare. However, it does have enough mineral freshness to match poultry like roast duck or chicken, or deeper, darker vegetables like roasted eggplant or grilled mushrooms.
