  Ottimo rosso con sentori di mora, amarena, prugna, caffè e cioccolata. Abbastanza morbido al palato. Prezzo un po' troppo alto.

  Retail $48. Syrah, Montepulciano, Cesanese. Big. Ass. Bottle. Gambero Rosso 2. You don't see a ton of wines from the Roma D.O.C. (at least I don't) which is comprised of many of the municipalities around the nation's capital. Unfortunately, however, Italian winemakers are incorporating more of these really heavy bottles, particularly for the upper-tier wines. That is a shame since it serves no purpose but increases the carbon footprint rather dramatically. As for the wine? A fairly dark crimson in the glass with dark berry fruit aromas, anise, some spice (black pepper, Christmas spice) and a minty earthiness. The palate is rather lush with fruit, but there is also considerable tartness to provide balance. While I am really enjoying this wine, I would be much more enthusiastic had the bottle weight not caused my spine to come out of alignment.
