Very soft and velvety, the 2011 Rosso Piceno Superiore Vigna Montetinello shows a darkly concentrated appearance with heavy aromas of ripe fruit, blackberry preserves, roasted coffee, Indian spice and dark licorice. The wine delivers medium weight and a slightly gritty texture. Vigna Montetinello is a blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese that sees 16 months in oak. The quality of fruit is dry and aged.
