Some real complexity and flare on the nose, which displays a wealth of oregano, sage, forest floor, blackcurrants and citrus. The full-bodied palate is also very serious, weaving ornately through a tapestry of fine-grained tannins; the finish is polished and long. A very well-made Montepulciano that blows many others out of the water, but at an amazing price! Drink from 2021.

Light tannins lend grip and structure to the flavors of crushed blackberry, wild sage, vanilla and spice in this bright and balanced, medium-bodied red. Drink now through 2023.
