Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is the bottle for the wine lover who values a red with a real sense of place. Grown on the volcanic soils of Campania in southern Italy, the 2016 Patrimo pours a deep, almost impenetrable ruby. It opens with blackberry and black cherry marmalade, cinnamon, nutmeg, a cool thread of eucalyptus, vanilla and roasted coffee. The palate is smooth and refined, with sweet, fine tannins and well-integrated acidity carrying dark fruit and spice into a long, persistent finish. It makes a considered gift for a milestone dinner, a housewarming, or a host who loves Italian cooking, because it can be opened now or laid down. The vintage is approachable today and expected to keep evolving over the next eight to ten years. Suggest your recipient decant it for an hour or two and serve it slightly below room temperature. Paired with braised short ribs, lamb with rosemary or a wild mushroom risotto, it will reward the occasion.
Pairs well with
- Braised beef short ribs — The wine's dark fruit and sweet, fine tannins stand up to rich, slow-cooked beef while the coffee and spice notes echo the braise.
- Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino — Savory, aged cheeses play against the wine's black cherry and blackberry fruit and its well-integrated acidity.
- Housewarming Italian dinner party — Served alongside lasagna or eggplant Parmesan, its layered spice and smooth, refined texture make it an easy centerpiece for a host who loves Italian food.
