Valdipiatta Rosso di Montepulciano 2015
Tuscany, ItalyThe blend is predominately sangiovese with some canaiolo nero and mammolo in the mix. Only some 12 percent of the wine sees oak for a brief three month period and those 300-litre Allier oak barrels have already been used once. It gets another three months of bottle ageing before the young rosso is released. The style is more and more a throwback to the past in the sense that it is bright and floral with round, soft, dark cherry fruit and freshness. Less complexity but more drinkability—as a rosso should be. The perfect spaghetti red, or try it with grilled chicken or pizza. Love it. Production is 30,000 bottles.Tasted: 24 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.49 | 750ml | private wine shops |
