Bacio Divino Pazzo 2018

Bacio Divino Pazzo 2018 is a lively, characterful California red that brings together Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sangiovese, and Syrah in a style that is both approachable and distinctly Mediterranean-inspired. The name "Pazzo" means "crazy" in Italian, and that playful spirit shows in a blend that’s more fresh and expressive than heavy or traditional, while still carrying the richness and polish Bacio Divino is known for.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Pazzo 2018 shows a deep, inviting ruby tone. The nose is generous and layered, with dark and red berries, toasted herbs, subtle leather, cocoa, and mocha, all lifted by a warm touch of oak. On the palate, it feels supple and engaging, with bright fruit wrapped around savory spice and earthy notes. The wine is delicious young, but it has enough structure and balance to hold well for a few years, developing even more nuance over time.

Production
Produced in California, this blend reflects a warm-climate interpretation of Italian-inspired winemaking, combining the structure of Cabernet Franc, the softness of Merlot, the brightness of Sangiovese, and the spice of Syrah. The result is a wine designed for immediate enjoyment, with oak aging adding texture, warmth, and complexity without overpowering the fruit.

Food & Serving
A versatile food wine, Pazzo 2018 pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, pasta with rich tomato sauces, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve it slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C, and consider a short decant if opening it young to let the aromatics fully open.

Producer
Bacio Divino is a respected California producer known for crafting expressive, Italian-influenced blends with plenty of personality. The winery has built a strong reputation for wines that are both stylish and accessible, and Pazzo has become one of its most popular bottlings thanks to its easy charm and distinctive blend of old-world inspiration with New World fruit.
