Rosso di Montepulciano DOC - De' Ricci

€20.00Price
  • This Rosso with its distinct aromas of cherries and violets is made from the Sangiovese varietal called Prugnolo Gentile in Montepulciano, with the additional of a little Merlot. A smooth wine for its young age, with subtle tannins and light hints of sweet oak, with a dry finish that pairs well with most Italian dishes.
