Aromas of Blackberry, crushed violets, licorice, leather, tabacco and spice.
Elegantly structured and full-flavored with notes of dark fruits, Morello cherry, coffee and balsamic with a long-lingering and persistently lasting finish.
From Blue Bloods to Blue Jeans, D’AGOSTINO fits every occasion. Structured and savory with vibrant, dark fruit flavors framed by a nuance of oak and spice. A delightfully delicious wine with a lingering, smooth finish. Vinified to perfectly align with the American lifestyle. It is what we like, and the way we like it. Matches with all your favorite dishes and occasions. Great with family and friends, or just for relax mode.
Pairing
Hearty, savory dishes—beef brisket, cheeseburgers, beef bolognese, smoked or barbecued meats. Pair this with meat-lovers pizza, and watch it culminate in a delicious meal.
Winemaking
The hand-harvested and destemmed grapes undergo an extended maceration period to extract color, aromas and an elegant mouth feel. The must is racked off during fermentation and pumped over the skin cap. The wine is placed in stainless steel tanks to complete the malolactic fermentation process. Aged 12 months in small French oak barrels, the wine is then transferred to large Slavonian barrels for an additional 12 months aging prior to bottling.
History
The American dream has many origins. This one began in Bugnara, a small hillside village in Abruzzo, Italy.
In search of a better life, Nicola ‘Nick’ D’Agostino, at the age of 14, left his impoverished life in Italy to join his father Ignazio and brother Pasquale ‘Patsy’ in New York City. When Nick arrived, neither his father nor his brother were present to meet him, and he quickly learned he would have to pull himself up by the bootstraps in the Land of Opportunity.
With a fourth-grade education, and only a few words of English, Nick started selling fruits and vegetables from a pushcart in Harlem. He learned of hard work, a commitment to quality and the keen sense to understand the customers’ tastes and behaviors.
Although fairly prosperous as a street vendor, Nick decided to make less money as a butcher’s apprentice to learn a respected and well-paying trade.
“The hustle never sleeps in the Big Apple!”
This drive - passion - has endured across generations, and now, Greg D’Agostino dares to dream again and has captured that same spirit in the D’AGOSTINO Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Riserva, Pinot Grigio and Rose. With 25 years experience in the fine wine industry, Greg has embraced rule #1, the wine must be delicious!
To family, friends and all who dare to dream, Salute!
