Poggio del Concone Toscana: on sale for $18.99 – down from $22.99.

Without question the Monte Antico Toscana, and the Poggio del Concone Toscana are the best selling wines here at The Italian Market.

Monte Antico has been a top 100 wine with Wine Enthusiast, and a regular 90+ point wine with critics for decades now.  Fashioned by renowned wine maker Franco Bernabei, it is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet, and Merlot.  Its balance and drinkability are its strongest qualities.  The wines flavors and aromas of ripe cherry, plum, vanilla, and silky tannins make this wine easy to drink and not easy to forget.

Poggio del Concone is the new kid on the block that’s making waves.  The wine has a bigger profile, with denser fruit weight on the palate.  I use this wine as a stepping stone for California lovers to introduce them to Italian wines.  Similar to the Monte Antico, this wine is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet, and Merlot.  It boasts a 98 point score with wine critic Luca Maroni, and 90 points from Wine Enthusiast.

Both wines are delicious, affordable, and always in stock.
