Reserve Montepulciano 2017
This estate-grown Montepulciano captivates with a deep garnet robe. The nose is a harmonious blend of succulent blackberries, ripe cherries, and a subtle whisper of cigar box. On the palate, the full-bodied elegance glides smoothly, a testament to its 3-year oak aging. It unfolds earthy and then blossoms into a tapestry of luscious dark red fruit, persisting with enchanting hints of violet on the finish. A symphony of flavors and textures, this wine dances gracefully from hearty to floral, leaving a lasting impression of rustic charm and delicate allure.
Pairing Suggestion: Grilled lamb chops marinated in rosemary and garlic. Osso Buco (braised veal shanks) with saffron Risotto.
