Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Rigatoni And Sausage

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

Malbec

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Why it works with Rigatoni And Sausage

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.

Brunello's little sibling — Sangiovese from the same vineyards, released earlier and at a fraction of the price. The smart Tuscan value.

Why it works with Rigatoni And Homemade Sausage

Rosso di Montalcino and Rigatoni And Homemade Sausage make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Syrah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Why it works with Rigatoni And Sausage

Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.
