LA QUERCIA 11 MONTELPULCIANO
This Montepulciano is a great example of what can happen when you match low-yield winemaking expertise with a prolific growing zone, and constantly cut, cut, cut back the vines. Made by winemaker Antonio Lamona, the result is one of the best quality, most expressive and balanced Montepulcianos around. This wine is also 100% organic, and delivers as a wine that takes no shortcuts.This wine is fantastic and an incredible value -- if you're aching to get the BBQ started early (if we have the right spring day), this will work wonders with grilled meats. The nose starts with a nice blend of earthy spice, minerals and fresh, sweet and tangy fruit (dark berries, pomegranate); a hint of leather and tea is in the background. In the mouth, bright, balanced fruit meets silky tannins and great acidity. Lush ripe plum and more dark berries lead to a bright and beautiful finish.
