Imako Vino Constellation Red Cuvée 2021, Republic of North Macedonia

From Imako Vino, Constellation Red Cuvée 2021 is a full-bodied, dry red wine from Povardarie in the Republic of North Macedonia. This 14% ABV blend brings together Vranec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with fruit from single vineyard parcels and hand-harvested grapes.

Deep ruby in character, it offers a bold, layered profile with aromas of blueberries, blackberries and sour cherry, alongside black pepper, coffee and nutmeg. Velvety tannins and smooth acidity give the wine structure and balance. Drinking well now, it also rewards further cellaring for a few years. A strong match for ribeye steak with chimichurri, roast lamb with rosemary and garlic, fire-roasted stuffed red peppers, prosciutto and Manchego.
