Garda Classico: Wine Under $20

From the shores of Lombardy's Lake Garda, the 2007 Dunant Rosso Garda Classico ($15.95 - LCBO# 174136) from Selva Capuzza is at once light and rich. The blend of Groppello, Marzemino, Sangiovese and Barbera brings out black currant and cinnamon tones, but with a light and fruity finish. It's perfect for light summer pasta's grilled white meats. - Malcolm Jolley
