Wine Pick of the Week: Feb. 15, 2015

2013 Adesso Cagnina di Romagna Dolce (Italy)

Someone asked me about this Refosco grape wine last week, and, as it happens, I had it in my cellar. Such a pretty wine. I wouldn’t call it complex, but it has some pleasant attributes: initial black pepper turns to berries, then to violets and an overall sweet finish. It’s easy to drink and around $13 a bottle. 

This would be good with Italian sausage, prosciutto, or salami, duck, pork or lamb, turkey with cranberries, sweet barbeque sauce, berry desserts.
