The 2010 Tintilia del Molise Macchiarossa is a pure expression of Tintilia executed in a fresh and fruit-forward stye. The wine sees 36 months of aging in stainless steel and an otherwise non-interventionist's approach. Smokey layers of tobacco and dark cola are wrapped within the dark, fruity themes that dominate the bouquet. The tannins are smooth and soft and the wine adds a sudden blast of crispness on the close.
