The blender’s art is highly underrated in the wine world – particularly when trying to make a fine wine at a price that anyone can afford. So, raise a glass of this fine yet inexpensive blend and toast those who work hard to make it happen. Teroldego takes the lead here, with peppery red and black berries propped up texturally by Petite Verdot’s plushness. For twelve bucks? Yes, please.
