It Starts With A Grape

This medium bodied, silky smooth Italian is exactly what a Montepulciano (monte-pool-chiano) should be. There’s bright fruit on the nose, consisting mainly of fresh raspberries, with under tones of soft oak. Its the epidamy of easy drinking, (no big oak or boisterous fruit here), with juicy plum on the palate, gliding over your tongue, caressing your  taste buds. Enjoy it all by itself or pair it with wild game, lightly seasoned with Italian herbs of course!

This lovely Italian is light to medium bodied, and especially easy drinking. The nose boasts tart cherries, while hinting at raisins and cloves, cloaked in a mild oak. My first sip ended up being far less fruity than expected. Though the tartness did show through, it definitely had far more oak, and less berry. Its a very clean wine, from noes to finish. It didn’t linger very long at all, which i thought worked well for this wine, sometimes you just want a nice clean finish. It would pair well with most any tomato based pasta dish, or a veal parm, chicken is a little to light for it. Though you could drink this one alone, i would recommend pairing it with food.
