Bolla Valpolicella – a lovely, tart,
vibrant red. Enjoyed with Mellow Mushroom's Mystery Mushroom pizza.
So a blend of jalapeno, pesto, feta and mozzarella. The wine blended
quite well with the smoothness of the cheese and the spice of the
jalapenos. The pesto and the wine played well off each other, each
bringing out the nuances of flavor in the other. Pesto's earthiness
contrasts pleasurably with tart and vibrance of these grapes.
Spice plays well off the black cherry
undertones.
Because I'm a filthy heathen, and just
must have my red sauce, I got some on the side for dipping.
Now I'll admit, this wine is a little
too tart a regular drinking wine. But it pairs well with white
cheeses, red sauces, pesto, and spicy food. Which is not a bad range
overall.
The tartness pairs well in opposition
to the cheese. It mixes well with the red sauces. So you have a range
of enjoyment with this wine. Have fun!
