September
Wine Club Picks of the Month
Il Conte Villa Prandone "Zipolo" Marche, Italy
Rated the second-best red wine in Italy in 2022 by wine critic Luca Maroni, who gave the wine 97 points, Zipolo is a blend of 70% Montepulciano, 15% Sangiovese, and 15% Merlot that is aged for two years in barrique and big barrels. The Montepulciano is the muscle in the wine, the Sangiovese provides the acidity that gives the wine a long shelf life, and Merlot gives the elegance.
Pair this with any ragu or braised meats and the dance card will be complete!
Ca dei Frati, Lugana, Lombardia Italy
Ca' dei Frati in Italian means “friar house,” because it was once owned by monks who grew grapes there. Made from 100% Turbiana grapes grown on the estate, this is fresh and focused with a perfume that's reminiscent of white flowers, almond, and apricot. Gorgeous with an end-of-summer strawberry salad w/queso fresco or a delicate olive oil based pasta. You will reminisce to evening sunsets in northern Italy and sigh..."this isn't too bad at all".
Beautiful with antipasti or a delicate pistachio pesto linguini dish!

Autre Monde's wine club is a great bargain. Our favorite is often the latest one. Like this month's 2018 Lavina, a Spanish blend of Tempranillo and Merlot. If there's any extra we would love to buy more bottles.- Deborah Donovan (wine club member)
