Visintini - Franconia

In 2021, Visintini, a beloved family - run winery with a medieval history, crafted this Franconia (Blaufrankisch) wine in Veneto, Italy. Nestled in the hills behind Corno di Rosazzo, their vineyards are certified organic and follow biodynamic practices. Most of the vines are over 35 years old, growing on sandstone terroir. This gives the wine the same complexity and depth as the winery's white wines. A 100% Franconia, it offers rich red - fruit and violet flavors, ending with a peppery kick. It pairs perfectly with fresh pasta or ham dishes.

To enjoy this Visintini Franconia wine, first, let it breathe for about 15 - 20 minutes before pouring. Pour it into a standard wine glass to savor its aroma and flavor. You can serve it at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 65°F. When pairing, go for fresh pasta or a ham dish as mentioned. As for storage, keep it in a cool, dark place. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or near a heat source. If you have an unopened bottle, it can last for a few years. Once opened, consume it within 2 - 3 days and keep it in the refrigerator with a cork.
