It’s probably not the first thing that comes to mind, or the tenth, but when I have a slice of soppressata and a handful of cured olives and then chase it with a tumbler of this aromatic, pleasantly tart blend of Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Cabernet, I can’t imagine a better pairing in all the world.—Dustin SoisethAnd we, here at Champion Wine Cellars, wholeheartedly agree!
