Nice solid Montepulciano with a great QPR. Noticed the most recent review were from 2018. By 2024 the jammy characteristics were gone, and all we were left with was happiness. Still some fruit on the nose and the palate, medium bodied and well balanced we ate it with a spicy Italian red sauce. Nice dry finished and well integrated tannin. As mentioned not complex but a nice match for food.

Beautiful solid rendition of Macedonia's famous Xinomavro grape. Big bold and typical, would be awesome with gamey meats like lamb.
This is a big wine, deep purple with fruit from berries and some herb, maybe even green pepper on the nose and palate. Sophistcated and soft tannins and a pleasantly dry finish. Good food wine. Wouldn't really drink it by itself though.

Agree with all the reviews so far with this wine. Nice balanced tropical and stone fruits with nice acid and salinity.
