Another year and more wine. I'm going to start off with a wine from Italy that is very popular with customers and a delightful red blend.
Castello Banfi Centine Toscana, 2009 ($10), from Tuscany, Italy, is a red blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. The nose is an inviting coffee and dark berry. A flavor of spice and light oak. The tannins are mild. Well balanced. I enjoy this when I prepare Italian meals.
Winemaker's Notes: The best tradition of the Sangiovese grape in Tuscany that, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, allows a youthful and intensely fruity blend. The ideal companion of simple dishes but also suitable for more complex matches. Ideal alone or with pasta, roasts, grilled meats or poultry.
