Dim: 16"L x 12"W x 12"H Wine Tasting Notes:Banfi Col di Sasso Toscana IGT 2004 Red Wine
A blend of Sauvignon & Sangiovese grapes Col di Sasso, which translates to "Stony Hill," is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grapes cultivated on the most rocky and impervious slopes of the Banfi estate in Montalcino, Tuscany. Typically harvested in early October, each grape variety is vinified separately. The Sangiovese imparts body, while stainless steel aged Cabernet Sauvignon adds fruit and structure. Banfi Col di Sasso is a youthful red to be enjoyed with grilled or roasted meats, poultry, or as an ideal accompaniment to pasta with meat sauce and mildly piquant cheeses. "A wonderful baby 'super-Tuscan,' with ripe fruit but convincingly Italian structure." - Michael Franz - Washington Post Castello di Gabbiano Pinot Grigio 2005 White Wine Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige and the Veneto are the three regions that are collectively known as the Tre Venezie. Wines created from grapes sourced from at least two of these three regions are known as Delle Venezie. Located in the northeastern corner of Italy, Tre Venezie is known for producing Italy's premier white wine. Bordered on the north by the Julian Alps and Dolomite mountain ranges, and on the south by the Adriatic Sea, the Tre Venezie boasts some of the most ideal micro-climates for cool weather grape varieties such as Pinot Grigio. The Gabbiano Pinot Grigio is a sunny straw-yellow color. Floral notes caress the nose, with nuances of pear and honeydew melon. Citrus flavors are evident on the palate delivering complex flavors of green apple, orange and faint lemon. The mouth feel is lively and full in structure created by the excellent harmony of fruit and acid. The wine is light-bodied, with a long finish that reveals hints of citrus and almonds. Enjoy with pasta primavera, or with grilled seafood. |
