Wine of the month

Cassarà Solcanto Catarratto 2011

Tired of chardonnay? Ready for something other than Sauvignon Blanc? Want an interesting white? Here’s the wine for you!

Antonello Cassarà makes beautiful wines from indigenous varieties in Alcamo, one of Sicily’s major wine-producing regions. From the Catarratto grape, he has produced a fabulous white that is the perfect accompaniment to fish, chicken and lighter summer fare.

Intense aroma with delicious hints of ripe fruit. Dry, balanced and beautifully long in the mouth.

Availability: Consignment (6 bottles/case) $20.50/bottle

In Vintages

At Vintages, Saturday June 8th

Gancedo Xestal 2006

It’s Spanish. It’s sensational. It’s supple, savoury and fresh-on-the-palate.

It’s dry red wine from Bierzo (Castile and León) with intense, full-bodied fruit & spice flavours and great balance. Approachable now but will drink well through 2022. A great value at this price.

92pts – Robert Parker (June 2011)

LCBO #332874 — $24.95
