The Tintilia Riserva by Catabbo has always been part of my career as it is a complex and classic wine of the territory. Great expression of a grape variety unknown to many, but with great potential.

Tasting
Ruby and bright in colour. Hints of ripe berries on the nose, but also scents liquorice root and black pepper. Very impressive and exciting on the palate, medium-plus acidity, full-bodied and smooth tannins with great length.
Food pairing
Excellent pairing with flavourful dishes like Mexican, Lasagne and Baked Pasta.
