FULL BODIED RED WINES: A GLASS OF ELEGANCE
Full bodied red wines offer a captivating and complex experience for wine enthusiasts. With their intense flavors and rich aromas, these wines appeal to both seasoned palates and newcomers alike.
WHAT IS A 'FULL BODIED WINE'?
Structured wines are characterized by a harmonious balance of body, acidity, tannins, and alcohol. This balance creates a wine with a firm structure that is particularly enjoyable during the cooler months and when paired with hearty dishes.
On Sfusobuono, we offer a variety of medium-bodied and structured red wines. Here are some of our favorite varietals:
Sangiovese: The iconic Italian grape, known for its presence in world-renowned wines like Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti Classico. Our bag-in-box Sangiovese options, such as Rosso Toscana IGT - Antonio Camillo and Sangiovese Umbria IGT - Roccafiore, offer a delightful balance of fruit, spice, and earthiness.
Nebbiolo: The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, renowned for its complexity and structure. Our Nebbiolo wines, like Langhe Rosso Bio - Sfusobuono and Vino Rosso Bio - Podere ai Valloni, showcase the unique characteristics of their respective regions.
Montepulciano: A versatile Italian grape, particularly popular in Abruzzo and Marche. This structured red is perfect for warming up on chilly evenings and pairs well with traditional regional cuisine. Try Rosso Colline Pescaresi IGT Bio - MorMaj for a robust and flavorful experience.
CHE PIATTO ABBINARE AI ROSSI STRUTTURATI?
Are you craving a delicious combination of flavor and texture? Here are three iconic Italian dishes that pair perfectly with our full-bodied red wines in bag-in-box:
- Bistecca alla Fiorentina: This Tuscan steak classic deserves a full body red wine, like a Sangiovese-based variety. The wine's acidity complements the richness of the meat.
- Lasagne al forno: The layers of pasta, meat sauce, and béchamel call for a rich red with a balanced acidity. A Barbera-based wine is an excellent choice.
- Aged Cheeses: Like Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano pair well with intense reds like Nebbiolo. The wine's spicy notes enhance the cheese's intensity.
Vegetarian Options
If you're looking for vegetarian options, consider these:
- Melanzane alla Parmigiana: This eggplant dish is a classic Italian comfort food that pairs well with a structured red like Cannonau di Sardegna Rosso Isola dei Nuraghi IGT - Sfusobuono
- Lentil Meatballs: These vegan meatballs are flavorful and pair nicely with a full-bodied red like Barbera del Monferrato or Nerello Mascalese.
- Pasta e fagioli: This hearty soup is even better with a 'quartino' of Barbera Piemonte DOC - Sfusobuono.
