Pairing Ideas: These wines are alive and are zero-zero which means no sulfur added.  Can you shout Taco Tuesday, Cheese Plate & Pasta. Red in color with fresh notes of tart cranberry, crab-apple, and strawberry rhubarb preserves.   Light in body with a refreshing acidity that goes down smoothly.  An easy afternoon drink! 

Producer Profile: The Giardino project was originally funded by the Esso gas station owned and operated by Antonio di Grutolla's brother. It's still an excellent place to get gas if you're in the area.
