Minestrone Finocchio Soup and Violet Vines Syrah

By April Zawada

I love hearty soups that can stand only as a complete meal. This one is especially savory and as a bonus it is low in carbs and high in protein! It is my go-to most beloved soup and a family recipe shared to me by one of my Italian friends over twenty years ago. I suggest pairing this hearty soup entree with the inaugural bottling of our Syrah, as the highly flavored intensity of this wine will not get over-whelmed by the full flavor of the soup.

Furthermore, the saltiness of the soup will soften the tannins of the Syrah and make it ever more pleasant. I hope you will enjoy!
