The Montepulciano here is gently pressed right after harvest and aged for a year in large old oak barrels, giving it a depth and length of flavour that make it stand out from most rosé wines. Tightly coiled aromas of pomegranate, blood orange peel and fennel seed lead to a broad yet energised palate. There's a peculiar sesame-cracker quality to it that balances savouriness with the generosity of the fruit. The intensity is pristine and persistent, indicating that this should hold well for later enjoyment.
