tonight I am drinking a tasty Italian super Tuscan
If you want some let me know — $30/bottle
Castello Banfi’s newest Super Tuscan cuve, Cum Laude – Latin for “with honors” –
combines 25% Sangiovese grape with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Syrah.
Each wine is individually vinified and aged 14 months in French oak
to develop its unique style, then masterfully interwoven with the others
to achieve an elegant bouquet and full, round flavor.
Cum Laude is characterized by a rich color and soft, ripe fruit flavors.
The wine is complex.
As a full-bodied red with dense tannins,
marries well with all red meats, pasta dishes and cheeses.
