Penisola Sorrentina "Gragnano", Monteleone - 2022

Item # 13968 750mL

A distinctive sparkling red wine made from the Piedirosso grape. Dry and bubbly on the palate, this shows dark berry fruit - cherries and red currants - and a slight tannic finish. Best enjoyed with a slight chill, this is a great match with pizza.

Staff Pick Notes

This wine is a star element in my favorite way to spend a night in. Other parts will include a good movie or show that I watch on the couch with homemade pizza.

It comes in at just 10.5% alcohol, which is great because it is so easy to drink! Like Champagne, you should keep a bottle on hand since you never know when you will want to cancel your plans and stay home with Gragnano instead!
