Super Tuscan "80th Anniversario" Barbanera, Toscana IGT, IT, 2019

This Super Tuscan was made in honor of the 80th anniversary of the man who founded the Barbanera winery, Luigi “Gigino” Barbanera. This full-bodied red combines Sangiovese, Merlot, Shiraz/Syrah, and Petit Verdot grapes to create awesome flavors of cassis with red cherry notes and a touch of currants on the finish. Drink it with a lush mushroom lasagna with tangy tomato sauce and parmesan cheese, or a wood-fired pizza topped with sausage and cured meats.
