Castiadas Capo Ferrato Cannonau di Sardegna

This paired perfectly with my lamb chops last night—the pepper and plum flavors really came through. That touch of white pepper gives it an interesting finish that kept me coming back for another sip. Solid choice for a Mediterranean-style dinner.

I opened this with a seafood pasta on a Tuesday night and the raspberry and plum notes made it feel like a proper occasion. That white pepper touch on the finish keeps you coming back for another sip, and the full body holds its own against a garlicky sauce.

The white pepper kick gives this a nice edge that keeps things lively, and it paired perfectly with a simple grilled fish and olives. I'd have liked a touch more fruit up front, but the plum and raspberry depth is there if you give it a minute to open up.
