A big, boisterous wine, the 2011 Rosso Piceno bursts from the glass with exotic red fruit, savory herbs, spices and earthiness. This hearty, flavorful Sangiovese/Montepulciano blend is best enjoyed over the next 2-3 years, while the wine retains its exuberance. The 2011 is a fabulous, drop-dead gorgeous wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2015. Saladini Pilastri excels with a broad range of value-priced wines that are loaded with character and personality. Importer: Michelangelo Imports, New York, NY; tel.
