Natalie's Score: 89/100

From the Veneto wine region, Tommasi Arele 2018 is a dry, full-bodied red blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Merlot and Oseleta grapes, the latter being an ancient local variety. The wine takes its name from the wooden trays that were traditionally used to dry the grapes, or a portion of them, to make Appassimento wine. Expect a spicy, bright red with fresh red berry, cherry, dried herbs balanced with food-friendly, medium-plus-acidity. Enjoy with veggie kebabs and grilled red meats.

Food pairings: cheese pizza, veal, beef, tagliatelle alla Bolognese (pasta), chicken herb-rubbed roast.
