Barone Montalto Cabernet Sauvignon Collosiane di Familglia 2019

 

Reddish/purple hue with aromas of light milk chocolate with grape and blackberry jam, a twinge of ash and spice.

Palate--Perky presentation with mouth-watering acidity, tart pie cherry filling with a robust blast of savory spice and heat.

This is a unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Nero D'Avola (40%) which is usually made to stand on its own as the signature grape of Sicily. I love Nero D'Avola  as it is a fairly simple wine with delicious, fruity goodness yet with structure and staying power.  It is an easy accompaniment to a variety of cheeses and dishes and drinks well all by itself.

I paid $8 for this wine which lists at $19 and it will be paired with homemade oven baked beef stew. Raise a glass!
