Natalie's Score: 89/100

From Farnese, Poggio Civetta Governo All'uso 2020 is a smooth and generous, medium-plus-bodied red wine blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot with the balance in Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah wine grapes. Produced in the governo method of partially drying a portion of the grapes for up to four weeks, and then pressing the dried grapes with the must added to the fermented wine. This allows the wine a second fermentation and imparts extra richness and a sensuous, full mouthfeel to the wine. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for five months. This vintage is delicious and so easy to love with its rich dark cherry, red berry, savoury herb and spicy flavours.

Food pairings: meatballs and spaghetti, veal parmesan, chicken cacciatore.
