2021 Tre Anelli Diavolessa
Once you try our “She-Devil”, you know exactly why it bears the name Diavolessa (the literal translation of she-devil in Italian). This wine is our version of a femme fatale incarnate. Bold and intense with gripping tannins, this blend offers a seductive marriage of dark black fruit, wild acidity and complexity, with layers of flavor that evolves in intensity (Much like a she-devil would)
With our first vintage in 2010 laying the groundwork for what would become a staple blend in our Tre Anelli wine portfolio, the blend does change slightly from year to year. The idea, however, remains constant - A bold and intense, gripping and seductive wine. This year, composed of Petite Sirah, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, and Barbera, the Diavolessa is a dominant red blend with rich, complex body and depth. The major grape Petite Sirah (60%) contributes bold dark fruit flavors such as blackberry and plum, along with a robust structure and firm tannins. Barbera (20%) adds bright acidity and cherry fruit notes, balancing the richness of the Petite Sirah. Sangiovese (10%) introduces a touch of tartness, with flavors of red berries and hints of spice. Nebbiolo (10%) lends its characteristic floral aroma, along with flavors of red fruit, tar, and earthiness.
