grapes: vernaccia nera

The last time you saw Uncle Luigi he was chasing the kids with a rope of Italian sausage draped around his neck and a big, red wine stain adorning the front of his sweaty t-shirt like a demented superhero freshly escaped from an asylum. Yeah, nothing unusual here. Except this time the next door neighbors are at the side gate staring at you with a mixture of bewilderment and anger. Apparently Uncle Luigi expanded his game of chase to include the neighbors’ kids; with shrieks and mayhem dominating the scene. Thinking quickly, you grab 3 glasses and a bottle of this sparkling red from the Adriatic coast to make peace. Not sure what else to do, the neighbors start drinking this amazing sparkling red from the Vernaccia grape and before long, THEY are chasing Uncle Luigi while you tend to the sausages sizzling on the grill. With smug satisfaction, you watch the hilarity unfold as you quietly sip this crisp, fruity, and effervescent elixir.
