How and When Best to Serve These Wines:

  2. Decant for Depth: Consider decanting bold Italian reds to enhance their aromas and flavors. This is particularly beneficial for wines with some age, allowing them to breathe and reach their peak.
  3. Food Pairing Brilliance: Italian reds are renowned for their food-friendly nature. Pair them with classic Italian dishes such as pasta, risotto, or hearty meats like lamb and beef to create a symphony of flavors.
  4. Cellaring Potential: Some Italian red wines benefit from aging. Explore Donzella's collection to find wines with the aging potential you desire, and consider creating your own wine cellar to watch these treasures evolve over time.
