This unique wine made from native Italian Schioppettino grapes opens with a blast of freshly milled black pepper, clove, nutmeg and black fruit. It’s unlike anything you will ever try and makes a perfect pairing with pepper-crusted cold cuts or thickly sliced ham. The mouthfeel is intense and pungent just like crushed peppercorn.——M.L.(12/15/2009)—— 90
