An expressive, non-traditional pan-Italian blend, Astrale Vino Rosso d'Italia 2021 brings together four of Italy’s most iconic grape varieties from distinct wine regions. Designed with a borderless philosophy, it balances ripe, sun-drenched fruit richness with approachable velvet tannins and vibrant Mediterranean herb aromas.
The Varietal Blend
40% Primitivo (Puglia): Partially dried prior to fermentation to supply a rich, juicy base packed with black cherries, raisins, and velvety warmth.
30% Sangiovese (Tuscany): Provides structural backbone, bright red cherry acidity, and subtle notes of dried thyme and violet.
15% Montepulciano (Abruzzo): Adds deep crimson color, weight, and ripe black plum flavors.
15% Nero d'Avola (Sicily): Contributes hints of dark pepper, cocoa, and Mediterranean spice.
Tasting Profile
Intense aromas of black cherry, dried plum, dark chocolate, and subtle vanilla spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, supple, and fruit-forward with soft, rounded tannins and a warming, elegant finish.
Pairing with Malaysian Cuisine
While heavy red wines with aggressive tannins often clash with Asian spice, Astrale’s plush fruit sweetness, gentle astringency, and vibrant acidity allow it to complement Malaysian dishes seamlessly:
Beef or Mutton Rendang: The intense, slow-cooked coconut gravy and warm spices (lemongrass, star anise, galangal) find a perfect match in Primitivo’s ripe dark fruit and generous body.
Chicken or Beef Satay: The smoky, caramelized charred edges of satay and rich, sweet-savory peanut sauce pair naturally with the wine's vanilla, oak spice, and berry notes.
Char Siu & Roast Pork (Siew Yoke): The sweet soy glaze of Char Siu and the savory fat of roast pork melt into the wine’s soft tannins and juicy plum flavors.
Dry Bak Kut Teh: The dark, herbal, garlic-and-pork reduction works in tandem with Sangiovese’s dried herb aromas and balanced acidity, cutting through the richness of the dish.
