pasta with tomato sauces

Spicy (though there's no real heat from the chilis)

This is the estate’s purest white

A true expression of southern Italy’s noble grape

and the winemaking process is gentle and transparent

Domaine des Sables Verts, Saumur-Champigny "Les Poyeux", 2022 2019Monfortino pasta with tomato saucesSaumur Champigny from a new domaine asking old questions. Caroline Meure and Herv Malinge's Cabernet Franc is hand harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts, then split across three vesselsamphora, stainless, and rare Latour barrels. The result: ripe red fruits, soft spice, velvety texture that plays against the Loire's natural acidity. This is Cabernet Franc without dogma, letting terroir and technique speak.
