Country: Italy / Jassarte
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Podere Guado al Melo / Toscana
A blend of 20 varieties from the Mediterranean and the Caucasus, the wine’s aromas are muddled: There’s a bit of blackberry, plum, horsehide, cow pasture, tar and old leather in here. But this primordial brew offers a fascinating glimpse at the roots of wine.
