Everyone has heard the little saying: a heavy meal and red meat should be paired with red wine, and a light meal or poultry and fish should be paired with white. While to a point this is true, it’s not a law—and Pinot Noir is one of the best examples. A true “Everything Wine,” the San Giuseppe Pinot Noir is a light-bodied red that pairs excellently with…well…everything. Seafood, spicy dishes, steaks, you name it. Well known for their Pinot Grigio, San Giuseppe has crossed over into the “darker side” of the Pinot family. A grape famous for its taste and infamous for its difficulty to grow, this red wine is how Italy does France. San Giuseppe’s website touts how excellently it has been made in the French Burgundy style—and they would know. It’s estate-bottled, which means the same people who grow the grapes make the wine. A credit to it, however, is the lack of oakiness one might actually find in a Burgundy.
Instead, there are hints of cherry, vanilla, and a fruity finish. This wine is fresh, light, and deep red in color. 100% Pinot Noir. As per the website, serve chilled for lighter dishes and warm for heavier.

Personally blended, like all San Giuseppe wines, the new Pinot Noir is in the style of good Cotes du Beaune. True varietal flavors presented with an easy drinking and fruit forward profile. San Giuseppe Pinot Noir is a perfect "every day, any food," wine that can be enjoyed with beef, veal, pork, lamb, chicken and even fish. Depending on its serving temperature, warmer for heavier and cooler for lighter fare.

A deep red color and pleasant aroma are offset by a dry, harmonic blend of black cherry with a touch of vanilla that stays on the tongue to produce a pleasant aftertaste. San Giuseppe Pinot Noir is elegant in the style of a French Burgundy. More About The Veneto Region
