2003 “Super Tuscan (IGT),” Casalone, Casali di Bibiano, Toscana, Italy $9.95 $43.00
Comprised of 70% Sangiovese and a blend of 30% Cabernet and Merlot, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 18 months and
is pleasantly medium bodied and well balanced.
2006 Martino Biscardo, Ripasso, Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Italy $11.95 $49.00
A wonderful Ripasso of dark and rich flavors. Hints of Chocolate and Spice play beautifully over supple and smooth
tannins. This wine is a great compliment to grilled veal chop & spicy tomato pastas, yet is balanced enough to enjoy as an
aperitif.
2003 “Super Tuscan (IGT),” Argante, Casali di Bibiano, Toscana, Italy $59.00
Made up of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon & 30% Merlot, it is aged in oak barrels for 18 months. Argante is a personal favorite
of the La Grotta staff—possibly the best value on the list. Full bodied and ready to drink.
2005 (# 376) Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinq Cepages, Chateau St. Michelle, Sonoma, Ca. $125.00
A rich and dense wine with layers of black raspberry, mocha and, hints of blue berry. This deep, concentrated
wine has a classic structure balancing fruit extract against fine grained tannins, with beautiful oak integration and
a lushness throughout that leads to a lingering finish. Previous Wine Spectator “ Wine of the Year “ winner.
