Anita Red Blend, Nittnaus

Anita Red Blend, Nittnaus - 2020

Item # 46765 750 mL

Mostly Zweigelt with splashes of Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent, “Anita” shows off Nittnaus’ knack for producing lip-smackingly delicious red wines. Soaring acidity lets the spice-drenched red and black fruits dance on the palate, and the wine—with only 15 milligrams per liter of added sulfur—bristles with energy.
