Cuban Ropa Vieja.

If you’ve ever wondered what wine to drink with Cuban food, in this case Ropa Vieja, you should give this wine a try.

Ropa Vieja, which translates literally to Old Clothes, is shredded beef in a sofrito of peppers, onions, garlic, etc. (I like to add a little chorizo and green olives) this Layer Cake Primitivo does the trick in a magical way. It is made with the intensely dark and rich Primitivo grape from Puglia, Italy, known as Zinfandel elsewhere. This particular Primitivo offers allspice and stewed black cherries on the nose, and added hints of dark caramel and butterscotch on the palate. Balances beautifully with the smokiness of the chorizo and the savory brine of the olives. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. $16
