Palazzo Vecchio (Italy)

Sangiovese Grosso
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Terrarossa shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla, tobacco, cocoa, mace and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing roundness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry. A well made wine. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Terrarossa ages for 24 months in cask followed by 18 months of aging in bottle.
