Mezzacorona Dinotte - A Wine to Enjoy Night OR Day!

88
Mezzacorona 2018 Dinotte Red Blend Rosso Vignetti delle Dolomiti 13% $11
Though this wine's name, Dinotte, translates to "at night", this is a wine that could be enjoyed any time of day OR night. Bursting with peak-of-ripeness berries and plums, this is enticingly delicious. Blueberries shoot from the glass then are reinforced by flavors of black plums and kirsch. The blending here is notable as this vibrantly youthful wine feels seamless on the palate. This is so fun and so packed with primary fruit kissed by a lingering dark chocolate finish that it's hard to ask more than what it already offers! And, I'll double down on that statement given this wine's SRP of $10.99. This is a very cool blend of 70% Teroldego Rotaliano, 15% Marzemno and 15% Merlot.
