or literally translated

Pair with some classic Maryland crab cakes

Exceptionally tasty with soda and a twist or mixed with Gin or Agave spirits

With things warming up a bit in southern France — the classic home of rosé — the wines are becoming rather heady

2023 Mocali Maremma Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Gamay or literally translatedDino Ciacci, the founder of the Mocali estate, was one of these 25 vignerons who, in 1967, founded the Corsorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. This is old school winemaking produced with low yields and large barrels. The result is a fresh, peppery nose of blackcurrants, black cherries and hints of blue flowers, mint and graphite. Medium bodied, juicy and polished with fine silky tannins.
