Cantine Sasso Italian Red
A small-batch southern Italian red, hand-picked for our Commack shelves.
The story behind Cantine Sasso
Aglianico is the great red grape of Italy's south, grown on the volcanic hills of Campania and Basilicata. It gives a deep, structured wine with dark fruit, dried herb and a firm tannic grip that softens with a little air. Think of it as Italy's answer to a serious northern Rhone red.
We keep just a bottle or two of the Cantine Sasso Aglianico in Commack. It is a value-priced way to taste the grape without committing to a case, and it drinks well above its price when you give it twenty minutes to open.
