"Made from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grapes aged in stainless steel, then an additional 6 months in Slavonic oak barrels. Intense violet robe. Aromas of plums and ripe blackberry. Each sip delivers a mouthful of ripe berries, leather and black pepper with subtle hints of oregano, dried herbs, and a touch of vanilla; all leading to a dry, supple finish." -The Importer
