Coutandin, Ramie - 2019

Item # 36428 750mL

Made from a blend of nearly forgotten Piedmontese grapes (Avana, Chatus, Bequet, Avarengo) this stunning red wine is a labor of love for winemaker Daniele Coutandin. The vines grow on incredibly steep slopes and make this delicious wine full of dark fruit and structured tannins.

Staff Pick Notes

Tannic structure can be tricky to understand when learning about wine. Different grape varieties provide unique sensations on the palate ranging from soft and sandy to chunky or gravelly.

It's a delightful wine — juicier than expected, with very compact, tiny tannins that gather on the center of tongue and travel straight down the center...a unique sensation indeed. I recommend trying it to see if the effects are the same for you.
