Outrageous Value in this Italian Red Blend

The wine below is available at our local Wegman’s in North Carolina.  It is an absolute steal, and a definite case buy wine if you find it.  Here it is:

Il Casato Red Blend 2019Wine:  2019 Il Casato Red Blend

Winery Location:   Valdadige, Northern Italy

Tasted By:   Neil & Cheri              Date:  September 2022    

Tasting Notes:  The wine is a ruby color, trending towards garnet.  The nose was closed down at first but opened up with air time to reveal red plum, some berries and some orange hints.  It is medium+ bodied, with red and black fruit on the palate, more than the nose had promised.  It is smooth and integrates and deepens as it sits in the glass.  This is pretty delicious stuff.  

Price Point –    We actually got it at Wegman’s for $8 on sale, but expect to see it  in the $12-$15 range.

Would We Buy It?   Oh yes.  This is a pretty extreme value. 

Very good red wine for short money.  Gotta love this one.

A votre santé!
