The 2011 Rosso di Montepulciano is a very pretty, polished red. Sweet cherries, flowers, mint and licorice emerge from this gracious, beautifully delineated wine. In 2011, Avignonesi’s Rosso is especially silky, fragrant and refined. Even better, it is a great value. This is a huge improvement over the deeply disappointing 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. Importer: MHW Ltd., Manhasset, NY; tel. (516) 869-9170

A medium-weight red, showing cherry, spice, wild herb and mineral flavors. Firm, with a beam of acidity for focus and a lingering aftertaste of tobacco. Drink now through 2020. 8,333 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Rosso di Montepulciano Select to Add
