title: I Quaranta 2005 Velours Red (Monferrato)
description: I Quaranta has succeeded in fashioning a thoroughly modern, lush style of wine from an eclectic blend of 60% Barbera and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Hints of mocha back up dense plum and strawberry fruit on the nose which give way to a refined palate showcasing highly polished tannins. A final kick of acidity adds freshness to the deep chocolate and cassis flavors that linger on the finish.
variety: Red Blend
