<p>MONTEPULCIANO isn't a common variety, and the Riverland ain't the sexiest place to grow grapes. The Antinori family has been involved in the production of wine for over six centuries, ever since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori entered as a member, the Arte Fiorentina”, the Winemakers' Guild of the city of Florence. During this entire long period, thorough twenty six generations, the family has always directly managed this work with courageous and, at times, innovative decisions, but always maintaining, unaltered, a fundamental respect for tradition and for the territory in which they have operated.</p>

<p>Ripasso wines can be served with a number dishes such as risotto and hearty pasta dishes. But they are at their best when paired with hearty dishes like roasted veal or lamb or braised or barbequed red meats like steak, sausage and game. Ripasso also goes well with aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano. My recommendation - try it with a porcini mushroom risotto or braised veal shank with herbs.</p>
<p>Calories come from alcohol as well as sugar content. A typical dry Cabernet Sauvignon from France has 13.5% alcohol which amount to ~160 calories per 6-ounce glass. A equivalent glass knowing your red wines of a lightly sweet Moscato or a German Kabinett or a German Spatlese riesling, due to its lower alcohol (6-9% abv) will have slightly lower calories despite its higher sugar content.<img class='alignleft' style='float:left;margin-right:10px;' src="sr3.wine-searcher.net/images/labels/25/07/10352507t.jpg" width="251" /></p>
