It’s medium dry, but the sweetness is well-integrated, thanks to the bright balancing acidity that keeps it fresh and lively.

Red Wine
Leonardo Da Vinci Monnalisa Sangiovese 2021, Emilia-Romagna D.O.C., Italy: Hailing from Romagna but echoing the character of its Tuscan cousins, this Sangiovese offers lively red berry fruit layered with earthy herbs and a subtle rustic edge. The grapes are rooted in the same region that nurtured Leonardo da Vinci’s early years, whose family grew wine grapes in the village of Vinci. A dynamic and expressive red, it’s ideal with wild boar ragù or rosemary-roasted eggplant. Sangiovese food pairings: pasta with tomato-based sauces, eggplant parmesan, margherita pizza.
