Cantina Duca di Saragnano Governo 2024

This wine follows the old Tuscan governo tradition, where a portion of dried grapes joins the blend after the first fermentation to build extra richness. Dark fruit forms the base, with a nutty, cocoa-tinged edge and a whisper of pine that keeps things from feeling one-note. Soft, rounded tannins carry the wine through a dry finish that never turns heavy despite all that fruit. It's the kind of red built for the grill. Serve it with grilled beef, smoky ribs or a hearty meat sauce.

Food pairings: BBQ ribs from the grill, burgers, slow-braised beef brisket.
