Comments:	The Sorrento peninsula is a beautiful stretch of land of overwhelming beauty, and is a sought-after international tourist destination for thousands of people who come each year, attracted by the balmy weather and the splendid and beautiful rocky coastline. Saint Lancerio, in his writings reminds us of how His Holiness, Pope Paul the Third, of the Farnese household, liked to drink the wine produced on the peninsula of Sorrento, "because it is a delicate drink." This excellent, traditional quality wine is produced in a small hilly area. The color is intense ruby red, to the nose it brings aromas of red berries, and in the mouth it is round, with notes of ripe grapes and cherries. Suggested serving temperature: 12-14°C (53.6-57.2°F)
