TASTING NOTES
Deep ruby-red in colour, this wine has intense aromas of dried red fruits, chocolate, dried cherry and black currant, with plenty of spice, tar and sweet rum cake.. On the palate, it is structured and sumptuous, sustained by firm but elegant tannins. A very long and balanced finish underlines the high quality of this wine.
Pairings
Jo is perfectly paired with game with berry sauces, rabbit, pasta bolognese and aged cheeses. Because the aromas of this wine are so powerful on their own, it can also be paired with more neutral dishes, such as roasted chicken or pork.

THE MAKER: Gianfranco Fino
The meticulous attention to detail runs deeply, and Gianfranco works tirelessly to improve his vineyards, his estate, and his wines. Fino hand-harvests all the grapes, taking special care to make sure that each bunch is free of mould and perfectly ripe. In the winery, he believes in using a healthy balance of new and inert oak to give the wines a hint of barrel aging without covering up any of his terroir’s expression.
