Also a Double Gold at the Orange County Fair – An Italian-style blend of 56% Barbera and 44% Dolcetto named after the Franicevic’s youngest daughter, Zemlja. This blend’s vibrant expression of cherry fruit, spicy aromatics, and long dry smoky finish recalls the days of the Mediterranean summer. Pair with pasta primavera, black beans, split pea soup with ham hocks, a patty melt, and beef gnocchi.
