North of Venice in the Treviso hills, the classic Bordeaux varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec – have been planted since the 1950s to fashion Bordeaux-style red wines of unusual complexity and value. An opaque young claret color, Gasparini’s Rosso della Casa opens with Medoc-like aromas of cassis, tobacco, and herbs. Deep, rich, and sumptuous on the palate, the Rosso della Casa balances tangy acidity and fine, food-friendly tannins with a dense core of black cherry, plum, and black currant fruit. Delicious notes of licorice, pipe tobacco, morel mushrooms, and funky oil-cured black olives emerge on the long finish. Aged eighteen months in large neutral oak barrels, the wine’s delicious core of black fruits takes center stage while its latent structure ensures several years of positive evolution in your cellar. This is an elegant, traditional, and distinctive interpretation of a classic Left Bank Bordeaux, and its exhilarating lack of obvious oak influences makes the wine especially suitable for hearty braises, roasted and grilled meats, and rich casseroles featuring eggplant and chard.
