Over the last few weeks, we have been doing research to replace many of our old favorite wines with new tasty and fun options. This week we are featuring more wines that have just arrived in the shop.
There is a fantastic 100% Gamay from Cru terroir in Moulin-A-Vent, as well as a couple of excellent value reds from Northern and Southern Italy. We hope you enjoy!
2019 Filippo Cassano CALX Primitivo, $16
Grapes: 100% Primitivo
Tasting Notes: A very fun, everyday table red from Puglia, which is the heel of the boot of Southern Italy. This bottle is 100% Primitivo, which is what Italians call Zinfandel. Whereas Zinfandel is typically a full-bodied and robust red, this Primitivo is considerably light on its feet. This is a fresh, drinkable red wine with zingy flavors of red berries, figs, and forest herbs. Fantastic bottle for under $20!
2017 Montaribaldi ‘Ternus’ Langhe Rosso, $16
Grapes: Blend of Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto
Tasting Notes: A very cool red blend from the hills of Barbaresco in Piedmont, Italy. Earthy aromas with a soft tannic structure and a little dark chocolate in the finish. Great 'classic Italian' table red, super food-friendly, and very approachable at $16. Boom.
2018 Domaine Lardy ’Les Michelons’ Cru Moulin-A-Vent, $27
Grapes: 100% Gamay
Tasting Notes: Old vines at the top of the Moulin-à-Vent slope in Beaujolais, France, give this wine its rich, plump structure. The fruit is fresh and crisp, with a smoky character from old-barrel wood aging. Absolutely outstanding, food-friendly, winter red.
