Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Foppiano Petite Sirah Rrv greets the palate with a bold, full-bodied presence that makes it an excellent choice for cozy evenings or celebratory gatherings. With an ABV of 14.5%, this wine is crafted in the United States, specifically from the Russian River Valley, where careful vineyard management and traditional winemaking techniques highlight its robust character.

In each glass, you’ll find deep flavors of blackberry, plum, and black pepper layered with hints of cocoa and subtle oak. These rich notes make Foppiano Petite Sirah Rrv a perfect match for lamb or barbecue ribs, as its firm tannins and vibrant acidity cut through savory meats while enhancing smoky and spiced flavors on the plate.
