Bold by name, exceptional by nature. This daring red blend pushes boundaries with an adventurous composition of 47% Grenache, 24% Syrah, 17% Mourvèdre, and 12% Sangiovese. Each varietal contributes its own personality—Grenache's lush berry warmth, Syrah's peppery backbone, Mourvèdre's earthy complexity, and Sangiovese's bright acidity. The result is a harmonious yet rebellious wine that rewards those willing to venture beyond the ordinary. Rich, layered, and utterly captivating, Risktaker delive

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby-garnet in the glass with hints of violet at the rim. The nose opens with enticing aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry compote, and Mediterranean herbs, accented by notes of black olive tapenade and warm baking spices. On the palate, the wine delivers layers of dark fruit flavors—blackberry, plum, and cherry—supported by earthy undertones of leather and dried herbs, with well-integrated tannins providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long and complex, leaving lingering notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a touch of smoky minerality that invites another sip.

Food Pairings

Grilled lamb chops with rosemary, wild mushroom risotto, aged manchego and charcuterie board, braised short ribs with root vegetables, herb-crusted rack of pork, Mediterranean ratatouille, dark chocolate tart with espresso.
