Wine and cycling. Cycling and wine. It's a combination Italians never get tired of, and frankly, neither do we! So this month, in honor of the Giro d'Italia (Tour of Italy), B3 has both for you. Second only to the Tour de France as cycling's most prestigious race, The Giro is a race known for its epic climbs, some so high that riders have to contend with lingering snow and ice on the road. The leader stands out by wearing the "maglia rosa" (pink jersey) and the battle isn't over until 21 stages have been completed. There's the cycling part. Enjoy! As for the wine part, here's what we're pouring to keep that wine + cycling Italian romance alive for you:

Stellina di Notte Chianti, Italy - This Chianti features intense aromas and flavors of dark red berries, cranberry, and cassis spice, with hints of earthiness typical of the Sangiovese grape. Full bodied yet elegant and supple, this wine showcases layers of rich fruit, balanced with silky tannins and a long, minerally finish.

Planeta La Segreta Rosso Red Blend, Italy - 50% Nero d'Avola, 25% Merlot, 20% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Franc - Ruby red with hints of purple. An explosion of fresh fruit on the nose (red currant, mulberry, raspberry, cherry and prune) balanced by a zesty spiciness.  Vibrant fruit flavors from the Nero d'Avola are nicely balanced by ripe, soft tannins and a refreshing acidity.

Stellina de Notte Prosecco, Italy - A sparkling wine with delicate aromas of citrus, pear, melon, lemon and almonds. Elegant bubbles enliven the flavors, making them dance on the palate. The body is light, with a lovely balance between crisp acidity and touch of sweetness. The hint of minerals in the finish is a classic quality of the Prosecco grape, which has been grown in the Tre Venezie region of Northern Italy since Roman times. Venetians consider Prosecco the perfect aperitivo or ombra (pick-me-up).
