General Pairing

At first sip Pottarello is warm and gently coats the mouth with brambly fruit; you can taste Lorenzo’s minimal intervention winemaking right off the bat in the best way as the fruit is the star here. Dark fruit with lingering but not oppressive tannin will have you looking for a little something to snack on as the wine starts to give way to suprisingly brighter red undertones. Can be drank without food but will be elevated with some protein; will do best with a semistagianato cheese or roasted maiale but even just some grilled bread with good olive oil will do the trick. Like the rolling hills of Collazzone from which these grapes are grown there is rustic beauty here. Rounded and beautiful with a dash of Umbria wildness that distinguishes the region’s wines from it’s often more polished and famous northern neighbors. We believe wine should have a sense of place and Pottarello immediately takes you to the picnic tables and wood burning grill that greet you when you pull up the unassuming winery. Reach for another piece of coppa and enjoy this over the course of two hours to fully appreciate this humble yet remarkable table wine.
