This Grenache wine has a bright ruby red color with light purple reflections. The nose offers a rich and complex range of aromas, with ripe red fruits like strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, supported by subtle floral notes, such as violets. You may also detect spicy hints of dried herbs like thyme and rosemary, typical of Grenache from a Mediterranean region. Additionally, there are light earthy tones and a touch of salinity, likely due to the vineyard’s coastal location. On the palate, the Selvadolce Gumbe di Amirai 2021 is juicy and fruity, with pronounced flavors of ripe cherries, raspberries, and a hint of plum. The wine has a soft tannic structure, making it an enjoyable and approachable drinking experience. The acidity is fresh, giving the wine lively energy. The mineral undertones and subtle saline notes add complexity and balance, making it elegant and well-rounded.
This red wine is versatile and pairs well with a wide range of dishes. It’s especially good with grilled meats, lamb, or tomato-based dishes like classic pasta or stews. Its freshness also makes it a great match for Mediterranean vegetable dishes and roasted vegetables.
Selvadolce’s vineyards are located near the Ligurian coast, which imparts a unique freshness and subtle saline notes to the wine due to the proximity to the sea. The Mediterranean climate and biodynamic methods help the grapes ripen fully and healthy. The vines are cultivated naturally, without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, allowing the terroir to shine through in the wine. Selvadolce is known for its natural winemaking approach. The Gumbe di Amirai 2021 is made with minimal intervention, using no added yeasts or chemicals. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is bottled unfiltered to preserve its purity and authenticity. This can result in slight cloudiness, which is typical for natural wines.
