Parducci Vintage Red typically is a blend of Carignane and Grenache – two varieties popular in the south of France – produced from old Mendocino vines. Made in a rustic style reminiscent of the hearty reds produced early in the 20th century by Italian-American winemaking pioneers like Adolph Parducci, this zesty, easy-drinking table red is a perfect choice for robust everyday fare, from tomato-sauce pastas to grilled and barbecued meats. It offers an enticing aroma of red-berry and black cherry fruit with hints of anise, pepper and other herbs and spices. On the palate, the wine’s focused, medium-bodied, spicy cherry flavors extend into a long, slightly peppery finish, balanced by supple tannins and sprightly acidity. This tasty red table wine nicely accompanies grilled rosemary chicken, juicy hamburgers, pepperoni pizza, and classic spaghetti.
