Sorelle Bronca Ser Bele Colli Di Conegliano Rosso Riserva 2015 Red Wine
The Colli di Conegliano hills that spill out west from the village of Conegliano are most famous for their sparkling wines; this is area in which Sorelle Bronca create our own Harvey Nichols Prosecco and their jaw-droppingly beautiful Particella 232. However, there's more to Colli di Conegliano than simply fizz; it also produces wonderful Bordeaux-inspired still reds. And that's exactly what Ser Bele Riserva is; think of it as Veneto's answer to the Super Tuscans with a splash of Prosecco's joie de vivre, just without the bubbles. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are harvested from organically farmed vines, fermented with natural yeasts and aged in French oak for two years. Trapped beneath that cork, you'll discover an intriguing flavour profile of cassis, black cherry, hedgerow blackberries, black pepper, truffle, vanilla, praline and fig and balsamic reduction. It's one of those wines you stumble across and ask:"why on earth has nobody ever told me about this before?"We adore the Prosecco the Bronca sisters, Antonella and Ersiliana, produce. But nothing prepared us for how unexpectedly good their red is. Treat it exactly as you would a Super Tuscan or a modern Claret, by pairing with lovingly prepared red meats (grilled or rare), aged cheeses or roasted vegetables.£3.67 per 100.00ml
