Been buying for last few yrs - bulletproof choice! Montepulciano di Abruzzo "Masciarelli" - even 2002 works great. Priced around 9.99. Consistent, fruity, no funny notes. C

If looking for real bargain on good label, try ebay - not current auctions but member's stores (more reliable and offer shipping choice). Search type of knife and who knows..even some rare handmade stuff is available. Anyway, trusted...
