December 2024
The holiday season has officially arrived! And this month is the month of celebrating, family, friends, cooking, eating, and of course drinking! We bring you two excellent wines to help you with just that. An Italian white and an italian red, that will be sure to delight your senses with whatever the occasion is this festive season!
Cantina Morone “Monaci” Benevento Falanghina (2020)
This balanced white wine is a single grape varietal from southern Italy in Campania, where its warm Mediterranean climate allows for this beautiful yellow grape to produce even more beautiful white wines. Harvested by hand and then pressed and fermented with natural yeast in stainless steel barrels, this 100% Falanghina white wine creates a delicious minerality that will satisfy your taste buds and complement a cozy chicken roasting in your oven. It is medium bodied, and tastes like the crisp apples your favorite cheese board entails. Drink this chilled to spice up your holiday gathering this season!
Cantina Morone Neropiana Barbera
From the same beloved vineyard as the Falanghina white we bring you, this juicy red is the perfect wintery Barbera you’ll want to savor each sip of. It smells of leather, plums, and delicate violets, and its savory, herbal notes on the tongue balances out its red fruited tart acidity to keep your mouth watering for more. Cheers your favorite comfort meal in the oven after letting it breathe on the table to let its flavors really shine through, and enjoy this drinkable red with your friends and family to end this year deliciously.
