2022 Domaine de la Haute Olive Chinon 750ml

Nestled in the heart of France's picturesque Loire Valley, you’ll find the charming town of Chinon. This beloved home of Rabelais lends its name to the surrounding wine region, where Cabernet Franc reaches its apogee. The Sourdais family have humbly farmed grapes here for six generations.

Arguably, there’s no food more heartwarming and satisfying than pasta, pomodoro, and meatballs — and what could be a better accompaniment than the raspily rural charm of Cabernet Franc grown where it loves to be grown? The pairing is a ping-pong match of acidity, perky red fruit, and herbal nuance, all in exquisite harmony with the delicate richness of the meatballs.
