91 Points from Steven Tanzer
On Sale for Only $9.99!
Our special this week is one of Italy's top values in red wine, the 2007 Falesco Vitiano Rosso. Produced in the Umbria region, this blend of equal parts Cabernet, Sangiovese, and Merlot is a versatile wine with respect to food pairings, but is not so heavy or dry that it can't be enjoyed on it's own. It's drinking beautifully right now, as illustrated by the 91 point Tanzer score and the following rave review:
"Ridiculously dark black-ruby color. Pretty aromas of cassis, black plum and earth, with a pronounced vanilla presence that does not overpower the fruit. Rich and densely packed, with distinctly ripe flavors of black fruits, raisin and chocolate lifted by an intriguing balsamic vinegar note. This finishes lighter than it starts, with welcome acidity nicely delineating the borderline-overripe fruit. Finishes creamy and long. This is a lot of wine for the money, and the best Vitiano in years, far removed from some astringent versions of recent memory."
Regularly priced at $12.99, right now this 91 point gem is on sale for only $9.99!
