There’s a really nice, creamy feel to this wine as it moves smoothly across the palate. As it does, the wine imparts lasting flavors of apricot, honey and Golden Delicious apple. There’s a touch of almond spice too and you can’t beat this low price.

The nose offers cherry, chocolate mocha and smoke backed by moist earth and white mushroom. You get a lot of great flavor for your dollar plus chewy, sweet tannins and medium length on the finish. Informal and friendly this is the kind of red wine you want handy for when friends pop over.

Grapes are harvested north of Lake Garda, where temperatures are more moderate, to produce a lighter and fresher style of Cab that boasts intense notes of forest berry and cut greens. It’s clean, smooth in the mouth and easy to drink.

Here’s a Merlot with a medium build that offers more fruity freshness on the nose: Notes of red berry, blueberry and cherry call out loud and clear. A firm structure and nice cherry-berry flavors leave a lasting impression in the mouth.

This is a pristine albeit easy wine with clean and compact aromas of stone fruit, yellow flower and zesty citrus. Genuine and aromatic, this is textbook Pinot Grigio with pleasing creaminess on the palate. Pair with pasta salad, grilled white meats and finger foods.

Spice, tobacco and black fruit kick off the nose of this cheerful but easygoing Italian Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine shows good depth and dimension and fills the mouth with creamy cassis and exotic spice that would pair well with meatloaf and beef.
