New Release: 2019 Il Re ~ Santa Barbara County

Try our Newest Release: 2019 Il Re. Another opening on our wine list gives us the opportunity to release our 2019 Il Re.  Il Re is an Italian blend that includes two grape varieties from the same Region (Piemonte). They are Nebbiolo and Barbera.  Our Il Re is always very popular, which is why we are frequently sold out.  It is back on our list after a long absence.  This version is already receiving great reviews.

Il Re combines the fruit and creaminess of the Barbera with the fruit, acid and tannins of the Nebbiolo.  This is a dark medium bodied wine, with good color and robust fruit flavors.

Americans think of all Italian red wines for pairing with red sauces, but Italians will enjoy wines like Il Re with roasted meat or game.  This blend is found occasionally in Italy, but does very well with the really ripe grapes we grow here in Santa Barbara County.

Enjoy.
