Wine Review: A rustic and easy drinking Italian Montepulciano wine! It's a clear deep purple color, with aromas of dark cherry, bramble, violets, and musty leather. Quite smooth on the palate, it is medium plus bodied, moderately acidic, with rich concentrated fruit, and nicely balanced. There are flavors of black plum, tart black cherry, dried herbs, lavender, and tobacco leaf. Moderate grippy tannins, and a dry, long finish. Serve with juicy smoked beef brisket with coleslaw. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: Color: Intense ruby red with violet hues.
Aroma: Notes of marasca and cherry and generally red berries with spicy hints of white pepper.
Taste: In the mouth, it develops harmoniously between fruity sweetness and savory freshness.
