Taste/Description: Made in the cool climate of Northern Italy which is known for earthy and aromatic wines from Montepulciano grapes. I have to start off by saying the label on this bottle is nice. On the nose you get fragrant cherry. On the palate you get fresh fruit flavors of raspberry, cherry and orange. This is my first time drinking a wine made with the Montepulciano grape, enjoyable drink.
