TRAVERSO'S COMFORTING RED ITALIAN WINE SPECIALS & TASTING THIS SATURDAY, JANUARY 9 IN-STORE NOON TO 3PM
It's cold outside and there is nothing better than a warm plate of polenta or pasta at dinner-time. At Traverso's we call it "Italian Comfort Food." We also recommend Italian Wines to accompany the comfort food. We've selected four red wine values from Italy that will work with your next winter meal. Come in this Saturday and taste them for yourself.

FEATURED WINES
2008 Gran Sasso Montepluciano d'Abruzzo Our Price $8.99
The Gran Sasso wines are made by young winemaker Marco Flacco and display a freshness and directness of fruit that is seldom found in this region. This wine is deep ruby red in color with garnet reflections. It is clean, fresh and plumy on the nose, rich, supple and accessible on the palate. It is balanced and full-bodied with good tannins. The fresh, primary fruit characters are maximized by the fact that it does not age in oak, making it approachable and ready to drink.
2008 Antinori Santa Cristina Sangiovese Our Price $9.99
This BIG value with a little price is our best selling Tuscan red wine. Ruby red in color with purple hues. Intense fresh fruit aromas with pleasant floral hints. Well-structured, generous, soft and harmonious. Sweet tannins and lingering fruit on the finish.
2005 Cantele Telero Negromaro-Cabernet Our Price $7.99
Blend of 70% Negromaro and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon from Italy's "heel" Puglia. Black cherry color, currant, plum, mint and a hint of nuts on the nose, full palate caressing, finishes with ripe tannins.
2005 Masi Campofiorin Ripasso Our Price $13.99
Masi's famous "Ripasso" bottling comprised of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 5% Molinara. Deep ruby red color with violet tinges on the edges. Intense bouquet with hints of ripe berry fruit, baked plums and cherries. Ample on the palate, full-bodied and velvety with characteristic hints of bitter cherries and cooked fruit. Attractive aftertaste with a hint of walnut. Campofiorin is the original product of the personal interpretation by Masi's technicians of an ancient vinification system used in Verona and technically known as "refermentation." Masi is proud to have created a completely new category in the ranks of Veronese winemaking, a class of wines that stands between the elegant simplicity of the classic wine types and the complex majesty of the Amarone.
