| Wine maker notes |
| The 2006 Pininfarina Napa Valley Vino Rosso is all about density and intensity. This wine is packed with structure, viscosity and weight. The initial aromas are of cedar, cigar tobacco and vanilla. The flavors start off with mouth filling tannins that convey generosity and fullness rather than hardness. It opens into a surprisingly vibrant explosion of spice and fruit. With just a little air in the glass, the aromas of black plums, currants and spicy white pepper lift the wine to a finish which is more brightness and silk than the heaviness and rigid structure so often found in ultra premium cabernet-based wines.
Just as with the cars designed by Pininfarina for grand marques such as Ferrari and Maserati, this wine rises above the ordinary by seamlessly combining power, elegance and style. This wine tastes wonderful in its youthful phase right now, and should reach its peak between 2012 and 2016. |
| Food pairing |
| Optimal food pairings include filet of beef, New Mexican pot roast with roasted peppers, currants, cinnamon and clove. Another great combination is the traditional Milanese veal osso buco, served with a saffron risotto. |
