Rich and rustic describes this bold Montepulciano, one sourced from old vines and made in local traditional methods. Blackberry, cassis and black cherry are presented on a palate of chalky tannins that help push the flavors through the long finish. It’s a good taste of old Italy at a price that makes it worth seeking out. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
