Fruit-forward and packed with blueberry and plum flavors, but only 13.5% alcohol, this wine is made for Italian cuisine. It paired nicely with whole wheat linguini and marinara sauce with spicy jalapeño chicken sausage, sautéed Tuscan kale with garlic, and a pugliese served with Camembert cheese. Bellissimo!
