Provenza, Garda Classico (Veneto, Italy) 2009

Jan 26, 2012

By Michael Apstein

 Although Lake Garda is best known for its Lugana DOC for white wines, it does have its eponymous DOC for reds.  A blend of Sangiovese (90%) and Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s a light bright wine full of delectable cherry-like flavors.  The Cabernet adds oomph and body without dominating.  It would be a good bargain-priced choice for pizza or light pasta dishes.
