Montalto, Nero d'Avola-Cabernet Sauvignon, 2003, Sicily, IGT, 14% abv
This wine cost only $10.98 to take home from a regular NSLC store.
It is a big hearty red, with a fruity nose, and a very harmonius, easy to drink taste. The addition of the Cabernet seems to add class simply unwarranted or unavailable at this price. It is hard to believe there is so much wine, so much good stuff in a bottle for this price. A screw cap too, so no corked versions will be taken home to spoil your dinner.
Drink alone, or with a full bodied meal, handles garlic lamb, even some low acid tomato sauce well.
A fantastic alternative to cheap Australian - a wine with fruit AND structure. Very quaffable and affordable.
