Ahhh, Montevetrano. You may not have ever heard about this wine. It is an Italian cult wine that flies way under the radar. That said, it is a special wine to us. The 1994 Montevetrano was one of the first wines that really made us do a double take and ask "Wow, can wine really be like that?" Since 1985 Montevetrano has produced one wine - Montevetrano. That all changed with the 2011 vintage.

CORE (pronounced Kor-Ay) is local Italian dialect for heart (just in case you were wondering). Core is a fascinating new 100% Aglianico from Campania, and with the help of the brilliant Ricardo Cotarella, this shows the unabashedly fruity side of Aglianico without sacrificing the depth that derives from prime location and its characteristic regional notes. I know...it seems odd that we might showcase a winery you've never heard of with a grape you may be unfamiliar with - but that is why we are here! Something new, exciting, different and delicious. All for a respectable $25 price tag - a relative bargain given Montevetrano in a great year can run you north of $70.00

So if Italy is your thing, or good wine is your thing, or you just need a great bottle of wine to go with Burgers tonight, get yourself some of this stuff!
