2018 VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO

TRY ME IF YOU LOVE: Merlot

ABV: 14.0%

GRAPES: 100% Sangiovese

TASTING NOTES: Dark cherries, anise, hints of leather and aromas of iris, rose, ripe berry and sandalwood. It's juicy with notes of cherry, liquorice and ground clove. For half of the price of a Brunello di Montalcino, this is equally impressive.

PAIRS WITH: Grilled or roasted meats, specifically beef, lamb, wild boar and duck, go best with this wine

SERVE ME: At room temperature

Il Macchione represents a small, entirely family-run artisan production. The choice to cultivate 100% Sangiovese stems from the love of this grape variety which, grown on the right soil, gives the wine elegance, character and longevity over time. The farm uses organic farming methods.
