Serving Suggestions
Cabernet Sauvignon Monteleone finds maximum expression when paired with balsamic glazed or baked meats, with stewed game and braised meats. Excellent with grilled meats, provided they are the best and most succulent cuts. Surprising with medium and aged cheeses served with preserves.
