Castello di Gabbiano‘s new “Dark Knight” is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangeovese. The histoic Gabbiano estate chose to bottle this new wine under the IGT designation–which gives wine makers the freedom to create wines outside strict rules of DOCG and DOC designations. Gabbiano has a winner on its hands with the first vintage of Dark Knight. Great Italian at a great price. 17.00
Lucanto Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, 2015: late harvest organic Montepulciano D’ Abruzzao. Loads of fruit character in this one: blackberry, raspberry, black cherry, and plum all come together in a nicely balanced Italian with soft tannins and a spicy finish. 13.00
