Located in northwest Italy, east of Monaco and in from the sea, Piedmont is known for Barolo and Barbaresco, but this under-$15 perfumed red also hails from the region. It comes in the heaviest 750ml wine bottle you've ever lifted, while inside is a trendy Italian-style red with lots of fruit and character.
Dardano Zara Langhe Rosso 2004 is half Dolcetto and half Barbera. Dardano is a family owned winery in Serralunga D'Alba.
Tasting Notes: Color: Deep ruby translucent. Aromas: Black cherry, cocoa, vanilla, plus noticeable rose and spice tones. The fruit-forward cherry and pomegranate flavors are framed in a medium body with nice acidity and a dry moderately tannic finish.
Very nice value ($13). Closure: Plastic "cork". Alcohol content: 13%.
