"Italia Ti Adoro" by Monte Bernardi is a beautifully expressive Vino Rosso that captures the soul of Italian winemaking. Crafted by winemaker Michael Schmelzer, this blend of certified organic fruit from Tuscany, Sicily, and Marche is a tribute to Italy’s rich viticultural heritage. Fermented in a combination of 80% concrete and 20% stainless steel, the wine preserves the purity and vibrancy of its fruit while developing a refined texture. Bottled in a traditional Italian Fiasco, it invites conviviality and everyday enjoyment, embracing the Italian philosophy that wine is meant to be shared at the table.
Aromatic and inviting, Italia Ti Adoro opens with a medley of ripe wild berries, black cherries, and dark plums, layered with hints of exotic spice, dried herbs, and a whisper of earthiness. On the palate, the wine is fresh and juicy, offering a supple mouthfeel with well-integrated acidity that enhances its drinkability. Silky tannins lend structure, while a lingering finish carries subtle notes of spice and mineral complexity. This is a versatile, food-friendly red, perfect for pairing with rustic Italian dishes or simply enjoying on its own.
