Edi Simcic 'Duet' - Red Blend

This 2019 red blend hails from Goriska Brda, Slovenia. It's crafted by a third - generation, family - owned winery established in 1989. Edi and Marica Simcic started bottling after almost three decades in a co - op. The winery practices organic farming, and the land, influenced by the northern Mediterranean and southern Alps, has 'Nature Blessed' soil rich in minerals and salts. Composed of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine offers delicious dark fruit flavors like blackberry, blueberry, and dark cherry, with earthy undertones. It pairs perfectly with mushroom dishes or tomato - based pasta.

To enjoy this wine, simply open the bottle and let it breathe for about 15 - 30 minutes before pouring. You can serve it at a cool room temperature. It's best stored in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. When pairing, feel free to experiment with different mushroom or tomato - based pasta recipes. Just remember not to expose the opened bottle to air for too long, as it may affect the taste. Cheers!
