"In northwest Italy, Piemonte is renowned for its deeply perfumed reds, capable of both long aging and inspiring strong emotions in devout followers. Marco Tintero, however, has an entirely different approach. His wines are simple, fun, fresh, and extremely affordable, all while retaining a distinct local identity that makes them wonderful everyday piemontese sippers. His Rosso is a blend of mainly Barbera and Dolcetto sourced from various sites around the region, fermented in stainless steel and bottled unfiltered. Finding a wine as tasty and versatile at this price is not an easy task, especially in Piemonte! Its fruit-driven flavors and soft tannins—not to mention the screw cap—make it a handy choice for casual meals and an all-purpose red for unpretentious cuisine. Marco often serves the Rosso with slices of homemade salame, but it also excels alongside dishes like pasta with red sauce, pizza, roast chicken, grilled meats, soft cheeses, and even rich stews. Simply put, don’t hesitate to open this one in any situation!" - Anthony Lynch - Kermit Lynch
