The 2010 Rosso di Montepulciano is a gracious, mid-weight wine that impresses for its overall balance. Sweet red berries, flowers and spices linger on the understated, layered finish. This vinous wine is best enjoyed over the next year or two. A dollop of Merlot and Canaiolo are used to complement the Sangiovese. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.
