Sergio's Pick
Per' e Palummo (dove's foot) is the local name given to the Piedirosso varietal. If you're a fan of other Italian floral reds such as Lacrima, Brachetto or Pelaverga, this is the wine for you. Highly aromatic notes of raspberries, red plums, red and purple flowers, dried thyme and baking spices leap from the glass. The palate is awakened by a fresh acidity that introduces a soft, silky minerality that eases into a slight velvet tannic touch. The finish is fruity, floral, herbal and spicy with a hint of saline. Best served with a slight chill.
