The Pour
1
Jermann Vintage Tunina
Crisp white🇮🇹 Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy · Chardonnay-Sauvignon Blanc blend

Golden, languid and faintly mineral like the lagoon air, it suits the novella’s heat. Its fading floral notes echo Aschenbach’s decline.

2
Masi Campofiorin
Wine🇮🇹 Veneto, Italy · Corvina blend

Dried cherry, a hint of sweetness and a shadowed, almost overripe depth. It has the faded beauty of Venice in a sirocco summer, lovely and just slightly too much, like Aschenbach's obsession.

The Mood

A celebrated writer is undone by obsession in a sultry, plague-shadowed Venice. Beautiful, claustrophobic and doomed.
