2003 Monsanto CC Riserva

[hotwine]

Bought a box of this at Costco to use for luncheon after niece's wedding in Houston. Failed to note price paid, but think it was about $17 per. With pasta and meat sauce, garlic bread, green salad, chocolate cake (some other sides in there somewhere....) for 20 people at SIL's beautiful home. Good character Sangiovese, fruity noose, versatile with foods, smooth palate, good finish. Brought home a couple of bottles and used one last night with veggie lasagna. Very nice. 13.5 % alc/vol.
