Here's a dark and thickly concentrated value wine made from 55% Montepulciano and 45% Sangiovese. The 2009 Rosso Piceno Superiore Le Torri opens to generous tones of black cherry, black currant and exotic spice. Grilled herb, licorice and crushed granite also appear at the back. The wine is medium in heft and persistence. It would pair well with simple beef dishes or oven-roasted lasagna. This historic wine has been in production since 1970.
