James Suckling, 91 Points 

"This has aromas of mulberries, sour cherries, cardamom pods and cloves. It’s juicy, lightly spicy and medium-bodied with medium-firm tannins. Elegant expression. Drink and enjoy." 

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"The nose is tart and earthy, with aromas of black cherry, blackberries, top soil, root beer and fennel. The berries turn juicier on the palate against licorice candy, and tannins and acid bring a ferociousness that gives this wine a tense, lively overall feel." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This Montepulciano is a great example of what can happen when you match low-yield winemaking expertise with a prolific growing zone, and constantly cut, cut, cut back the vines. Made by winemaker Antonio Lamona, the result is one of the best quality, most expressive and balanced Montepulcianos around. This wine is also 100% organic, and delivers as a wine that takes no shortcuts."
