The 1999 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Jorio exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color as well as a big, earthy, ripe nose revealing notions of strawberry jam, cherries, and new oak. This fruity, mouthfilling 1999 will drink well for 1-2 years. This is a good value. Importer: Bedford Brands International, Larchmont, NY; tel. (914) 833-2725
