Castero Italian Red
Everyday Italian red from Montepulciano, poured plain and priced fair.
The story behind Castero
Montepulciano is the grape behind the easygoing reds of central Italy, and the style is built for the table: dry, medium bodied, low in tannin, with dark cherry and a soft earthy finish. It shows best with tomato sauce, pizza, and roasted meats, and it does not ask you to think too hard.
We stock the Castero Montepulciano here in Commack, a small allocation we keep just a bottle or two of at a time. When it is gone, it is gone until the next order comes in.

Which Castero is right for you?
The Castero Montepulciano 750mL is $7.98, which is about as honest as an Italian red gets. We keep only a bottle or two on hand, so call ahead if you want it held. The Castero Pinot Grigio at $9.99 is out of stock for now, and we will not guess at a date.
Dry and soft enough for tomato sauce, pizza, and a Tuesday.
Low price, real Italian red, no risk on a bottle you have not tried.
