Tasting Note
Earthy aromas buoyed up by plum and ripe black-fruit notes.
The palate is soft and supple, with satisfying echoes of the
nose, and fresh raspberry mid-palate. Medium bodied with
well-balanced acidity and tannins, this will be a perfect
companion for grilled lamb, gourmet sausages or a richly
sauced gourmet meat pizza. (VINTAGES panel, Nov. 2010)

Additional Reviews
Reviewed by: Beppi Crosariol (The Globe and Mail)
A premium take on the great bargain red of central Italy, this montepulciano (that’s the grape) is medium-full-bodied with pure cherry-like flavour, a silky middle and juicy acidity. Grilled sausages would make a fine match, as would many tomato-based vegetarian dishes. But it’s nice on its own, too.
