This Il Papverro Vino da Tavola Rosso is an Italian red table wine. (Il papavero means “the poppy” in Italian.) A yummy cherry and plum nose. The taste is delicious red fruit and dark chocolate — but also very dry.
This is an easy-drinking red wine that is wonderful for cocktail hour! And it will also accompany our grilled chicken breasts and brown rice nicely.

Love this wine, do you know if it is still available for purchase?

Hi Jennifer, Yes, I have seen this wine advertised in the wine club brochures as available. So glad to know you enjoyed the wine!

I am so glad you have tried this one. It’s one of the few I have difficulty sharing. It is one of my most favorite ‘stand alone’ wines.

Tim, How interesting. . .when you say ‘stand alone’ do you mean you enjoy it just fine with or without food?
June 13, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Yes. Not sure if it is official, but it’s what I term with out food as. LOL

Please, could you suggest me where and how can I buy this wine?? Here in Italy we don’t drink it, but my Boss likes it very much so my staff and me want to give him a present. What can we do? how much does it cost about? Thanks a lot, Alessia

Hi Alessia! The wine is very reasonably priced; I believe it cost around $11 a bottle. It’s such an excellent wine and I am not surprised your boss loves it!
I am going to have to do a little research for you to see how you can get this wine. Check back frequently. Also, another reader may have information for you.
Thanks for your comment and I will see what I can find out for you.

We got a bottle of this as a gift at a party, but don’t know who dropped it off. We love it! Where can we buy it?
Thanks

Hello Mark. . .maybe Tom & I came to your party and brought it as a gift? That would be just like us.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this wine. We purchased this wine through a wine club . . .I believe it was 4Seasons. I have not seen it in stores so you may need to do an internet search to see if it is available. I’m glad you enjoyed it; it’s a special one.
