Masi 2013 Fojaneghe Vigneti delle Dolomiti Rosso 750ml

Elegantly structured on the palate, velvety with a long finish, this is the top wine from the Conti Bossi Fedrigotti cellars in Trentino.  Produced since 1961 and the first Bordeaux blend to be made in Italy, thanks to Count Federico's happy intuition.  The grapes - Merlot, Cabernet and a small percentage of Teroldego - come from the eponymous vineyard and the wine itself is the emblem of the family's nobility all over the world. 

Grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Teroldego 

Tasting notes: Look garnet ruby red. Nose berry fruit and vanilla. Palate dry and full-bodied, with a perfect balance between acidity and tannins. Velvety with a long finish.

Food pairing: Goes with red meat, game, and mature cheeses with some bite.
