Mimmo Rosso 2021

Syrah-Based Blend from Italy

Classic Movie Pairing

Cat People (1940)

Cat People (1942). A B-movie that rose above its limitations to become a suspense and horror classic.

The first feature produced by Val Lewton, the film is a perfect match for this smooth and imaginative red blend with its own distinctive notes of passion and intrigue.

Oliver, enchanted by the exotic Irene, buys her a kitten as a gift. When the kitten shrinks in fear from Irene, however, Oliver and Irene return it to the pet shop, where Irene's presence drives the caged animals mad...
