Sips of the Week
Monte Antico Toscana 2008, Tuscany, Italy $12
Winemaker’s Notes: A Tuscan classic! Deep ruby colour with garnet reflections, its elegant bouquet of leather, black cherries, liquorice and plums preludes a medium to full-bodied palate where ripe red fruit, goût de terroir, subtle notes of vanilla and violets harmonize and linger, interlacing with the soft tannins and silky texture. Firm backbone, perfect integration of acidity and fruit, well rounded, medium finish.
I Guistri e Zanza Nemorino, Tuscany, $19.99
Winemaker’s Notes: (60% Syrah, 20% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot) A lovely coastal Tuscan blend of Syrah, Sangiovese, and Merlot. I Giusti e Zanza is working toward their organic certification. The love and care for their land and grapes shows in each and every wine they produce. The Nemorino is soft and supple. An excellent match for simply grilled meat, pork, and game.
