Due Mondi stands for the “two worlds” of France’s famous
viticultural areas, namely, Bordeaux and Rhône. It is a blend of
Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, from Bordeaux and Syrah and
Petite Sirah which come from Rhône. This wine was challenging to
make since each variety has characteristic flavor and mouthfeel
which I wanted to preserve in the final wine without compromise.
Due Mondi bears the Gallery Collection label which denotes that
this is a limited production wine made from premium quality grapes
carefully crafted with extra care and attention. It was aged for 15
months in premium French oak barrels.
The rich dark purple color is complemented with rich aromas of
dark berries and hints of spice and chocolate. In the mid-palate
the berry flavors transform to black cherry and the spiciness
intensifies. In the finish this full body wine has a remarkable
richness that carries the fruit, the spice and nuances of chocolate
all the way to the end.
