WINE OF THE WEEK:
Abruzzo is a region in central Italy that is famous for grapes like Montepulciano and Trebbiano. But they grow more than that there, and we just discovered a super cool Cabernet value from the appellation Terre di Chieti.
It’s the 2019 Spinelli Cabernet Sauvignon, and it received a stellar 93 point score from leading Italian critic Luca Maroni.
Creamy cherry and plum aromas accented by a touch of spice follow through on the medium-bodied palate, with a soft, round texture that makes it immediately appealing.
But that’s just part of the appeal! The regular price on this Cab is a mere 9.97. But this week only we’ve got it for you at just 7.97/bottle.
Keep reading for a nice way to sample it!
