Come to the Cantina

"Cantina" is Italian for "wine cellar", and I would love to have more of this wine in mine! I was in my local warehouse store and this unique bottle caught my eye. The wonderful script, the twig piece tied with straw....very rustic. Cantina Zaccagnini 2002....a red dry wine. I expected it to be bold....dry. As I opened the bottle the "nose" also confirmed that it would be just that. But as I took the first sip, I was surprised that it was softer than I had anticipated...dry, yes, but not too dry.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wine....seek out a bottle.....with some sharp cheddar...salami....a loaf of freshly baked bread and I think you will too.......



CHEERS!
