Italian Stallion

Hello Wine Lovers! Happy Holidays!

Today I bring a wine to you from Toscana... Monte Antico Rosso 2006 for $8.99 a bottle!

This wine made the Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines and is a blend which varies slightly depending on conditions during the growing season. This year it is 85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is aged 1 year in oak and at least 6 months in the bottle, achieving a graceful balance of juicy berry tones and a sturdy backbone. Dark ruby in color, its bouquet full of leather, herbs, black cherries a touch of licorice with a long fruity finish. This wine is extremely versatile with any fare from pasta or risotto, to meat, fowl and cheese.

Go to your favorite shop and buy the heck out of this little Italian jewel!

Cheers!
