Mission Codename Dark Magic Part Two
One look into this black, inky juice makes it clear that Zuccardi’s Tito isn’t a wine to take lightly.
This wine is a sultry blend of old vine Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rare Ancellotta grape. Tito’s unique composition is incredibly powerful - and so very delicious! Black and blue fruits galore with camp smoke and incense. What a treat.
Big wine lovers alert!
