Habemus Italian Red
Small-lot Lazio reds, hand-picked and kept in Commack.
The story behind Habemus
Lazio reds come from the hills around Rome, where the warm Mediterranean climate and volcanic and clay soils give Sangiovese and Montepulciano based blends a soft, savory character. They tend to drink rounder and more approachable than Tuscan reds, with dark cherry, dried herb and a gentle earthy finish.
We keep Habemus in very small quantity at our Commack shop, one to two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have. Ask us at the counter and we will tell you honestly what is on the shelf today.
