100% Montepulciano. Med (+) to deep purple with a garnet rin. Med (+) to pronounced ripe black cherry, black plum, tar, licorice, botanical herbs, vanilla, baking spices and pencil shavings. 12-14 months in new oak barriques, 6 mos in used tonneaux & 8-10 mos in bottle. Dry, consistent with the nose, with med (+) acidity, med (+) to high tannins and high alcohol (14%). Med (+) intensity and length and a pleasantly slight savory bitterness on the finish. A great example of what the Montepulciano can do when properly vinlified and oaked, Conero is slightly more structured and higher in acidity than its counterparts from Abruzzo. Drink through 2024.

Nice wine. Balanced and lots of red fruits. Long aftertaste

Dark red berries, mature fruit, forest floor, some liquorice. Nice acidity, present but mature tannins. Very good aging potential.
