Located within Montepulciano, Poliziano is best known for its Vino Nobile wines, and this Rosso is presented as its ready-to-drink version. Made from Sangiovese (80%) and Merlot (20%), it is aged in large French oak and concrete vats for 10 months. In the glass, it offers a terrific bouquet of ripe red cherries backed up by light herbal and earthy scents. Medium-bodied, with fine grained, ultra smooth tannins, it has direct, juicy cherry flavors and a pleasing, lingering finish. A very pleasant, all-purpose red offering good value.
