Mocavero Chardonnay
 | | Chardonnay |
Mocavero Chardonnay is similar in flavor profile to a Vino Verde or Albarino. A light body complimented by balanced acidity and fruit this wine is fresh and crisp. Unlike a typical chardonnay, the flavors are subdued by bright acidity, green apple and citrus allowing this wine to be very refreshing. The clean finish makes it a great alternative when looking for a white wine. Goes well wth light starters, salads, seafood and fish, excellent as an aperitif.  | | Cheese Tray |

Mocavero "Puteus" Salice Salentino Reserva
 | | Puteus |
The earthy bouquet includes a strong hit of espresso and vanilla, with fruit taking the background. An overall spicy edge, older vintage and good fermentation allows this to be a big and weighty wine with unique characteristics. Lively berries dominate the initial taste, with blackberry and bold yet balanced tannins taking the mid-palate. The finish hearkens back to the bouquet with vanilla, earth and a delicate touch of spice. Excellent with roast meat, wild fowl, spicy dishes and cured meats. Blend of 80% Negroamaro and 20% Malvasia Nera - very big, earthy red with bold tannins, black fruit and spice. Excellent with roast meat, wild fowl, spicy dishes and cured meats.  | | Leg of Lamb |
Featured Recipe Pairing - Leg of Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic When cooked to a beautiful medium rare, lamb is a wonderful moist meat with just a hint of game. In this recipe, rosemary and garlic are a wonderful accent to the lamb flavor, and cooking the lamb on a bed of potatoes gives them a unique flavor. Click here to download the complete recipe.
