Colosso
Savor rich berry flavors, bold sweet spice, and nuanced notes of licorice and dried herb, backed by big, velvety tannin. Winexpert Private Reserve Colosso masterfully blends Italian favorites Sangiovese and Primitivo with a touch of Nerello, one of the country’s hidden gems, giving you a larger-than-life Italian red you’re guaranteed to love.

Recipe: Smoky Chorizo & Chicken Chili
Unlike Mexican chorizo, Spanish chorizo is dry-cured and gives a mild, spicy-sweetness to flavourful chili that is also accented with smoky
paprika and chipotle pepper.
Would pair nicely with LE23 Tempranillo Shiraz.
