Description
Looking for a gift for a grad or a dad? This pack will be a treat for either, or both, for similar and different reasons. Heading this collection is the cellar-worthy “Alizarine,” a big, bold, masculine red whose window of maturity is commencing now, but will benefit from aging for at least another 5-10 years (as would your grad or dad!). The seriously fizzy red “Solo” symbolizes the grad’s detachment from school and entering the world with effervescent exuberance, as well as dad’s disappearance to his man-cave. Il Principe – a royal wine from the Piedmont region of Italy – rounds out this eclectic set.
What's Included
- Alta Vista “Alizarine” Single Vineyard Malbec
- Medici Ermete “Solo” Reggiano Rosso DOC
- Michele Chiarlo “Il Principe” Langhe Nebbiolo IGT
