The Claudio Cipressi 2013 Tintilia del Molise Macchiarossa is a powerfully fruit-driven red wine. This is a mid-weight effort that opens to plummy, primary aromas of dried blackberry and Morello cherry. This wine does not see contact with oak, so those slightly spicy notes you taste come directly from the Tintilia grape. The wine finishes with a compact, slightly bitter close. Some 20,000 bottles were made.
