This two bottle bundle brings together both red wines in the officially licensed Lionel Collection 10 GOAT range, created in collaboration with the European winemaking team MM Winemaker as a tribute to Lionel Messi. The collection was built to reflect Messi's dual heritage, his Argentine roots and the European career that defined him, with the 10 GOAT name honoring his iconic number 10 jersey and the Greatest of All Time status the sporting world has long attached to him. The set pairs the two southern Italian expressions side by side. The Syrah IGT Sicilia is grown at roughly 400 meters on Sicily's volcanic terroir and aged in barrique, giving a deep ruby pour with blackberry, dark plum and black cherry lifted by cracked pepper, Mediterranean herbs, cocoa and vanilla over smooth, well integrated tannins, finishing long and elegant. The Primitivo IGT Puglia comes from the heel of Italy's boot, the heartland of the Primitivo grape, which is genetically the same as California Zinfandel and thrives in Puglia's intense heat and clay limestone soils. Hand harvested in the 2022 vintage, it is richer and jammier, showing ripe blackberry, plum, dark cherry and fig with chocolate, sweet baking spice and a soft, velvety texture, finishing smooth and rounded. Both wines are the 2022 vintage, bottled at 14 percent alcohol by volume, and each arrives in a premium collector style presentation tube, making the pair a natural gift or a side by side tasting of how two celebrated southern Italian grapes express the same ambition. Serve both slightly below room temperature and open or briefly decant ahead of pouring. They pair beautifully with grilled steak, lamb, barbecue, roasted meats, hearty pasta and aged cheeses.
