Bulk Buy!

Banfi Col Di Sasso Toscana 2010 - $8 Italian Reds Wine 1
One Tasty and Food Flexible Tuscan.

 

Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy.

SRP of $9 and available widely for $8. Sample submitted for review.

From the bottle:

“Col di Sasso, Italian for “Stony Hill”, is a cuvée of red grape varieties. Nuances of red berry, cherry and violet are complemented by soft tannins. Pairs with roasted or grilled meats, pasta and cheese.

13.0% Alcohol”

Today’s wine is the first in a new series this week — $8 Italian Reds! All week we’ll be highlighting delicious Italian red wines that sell for around $8. And as if that wasn’t enough, our friends at Marketview Liquor decided to make the week even better by offering FREE SHIPPING on each wine (on orders of 6 bottles or more, mix & match). If you’re a fan of cheap, but tasty, Italian wine, get ready! (This deal is now expired but to make sure you don’t miss out on any in the future, subscribe to our daily email to get Reverse Wine Snob in your inbox!)

The 2010 Banfi Col Di Sasso Toscana begins with aromas of black cherry, cola, a little spice and a touch of smoke. This easy to drink and enjoyable wine tastes quite nice and features sweet cherry, plum and smoky overtones with soft tannins and good acidity. All this makes it a great wine to have on hand as it will pair nicely with lots of different foods. On the medium length, dry finish the fruit turns a bit sour and some earthy notes add a nice contrast to the fruit. This wine might be even better on day 2. A solid performer at a fabulous price!
