When I was assigned the task of choosing a red wine for an entry of spaghetti marinara, I recalled that we liked this wine with a different tomato pasta almost 2 years ago. We were pleased that this wine seemed to have improved. Will seek out Montepulcianos from this and other producers.

Mature, settled, round with lovely silky tannins, dark fruits and a smooth balanced finish. Very nice.
When I look back to the earliest reviews it seems to me that this is a wine that needed to age. Shame so many drank it early and couldn't find the enjoyment that comes with patience (and a well stored cellar!).

Still drinking well. Dark fruits and savory notes still in balance. Smooth finish. I think well stored bottles will easily last a few more years and deliver a lot of drinking pleasure.

PnP-Negligible nose; dark fruit on the palate; nice tannins on the finish. Paired nicely with a tomato and vegetable pasta on a blustery fall night.
