We love sports and all, but sometimes it’s just more fun to catch up with your friends, test out a new recipe, or even continue reading the book you haven’t been able to put down while you pretend to pay attention to the big game. We love a medium-bodied red wine as a game day drink – enough ABV to keep you buzzy, and packing a punch in flavor that evolves as it opens up.
Scarpetta Barbera del Monferrato ($17) is dark fruit-forward, earthy, and boasts mellow tannins (a characteristic in red wines that comes from the skins of the grapes and can make your mouth feel dry), making it a delectable sipper while you tune into (and out of) the game. Salute!
