La Stoppa IGT Emilia Rosso "Macchiona" (Library) 2010 skus_30285783 The recipe for Blanton's Gold

The recipe for Blanton's Gold Edition remains the same as Blanton's Original but with a higher proof

with gentle smoky leather

and is now considered an indigenous grape

it shows rich black fruit on the long finish

We love it with a bitter Radicchio Rosso combined with Borlotti beans made into a soup or hummus

La Stoppa IGT Emilia Rosso "Macchiona" (Library) 2010 skus_30285783 The recipe for Blanton's GoldDeep, velvety looking ruby garnet colour with a little orange on the rim. The wines are unfiltered and unfined and there is a bit of materia in the glass. Luscious and ripe on the nose, kirsch, ink, warm earth, charred red pepper, some volatile acidity, but just enough to contribute complexity. Dry, sweetly fruited, savoury, zesty acidity. Soft, mellow mouthfeel, great freshness and length. Warmth on the finish, the only evidence of the 14% alcohol.
