Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cerasuolo 2009
Give a ring if there's anything else like it as a rose
It mingles with light reds easily, but has the fun part of a fresh rose with the complexity that unfolds over and over
The elegance is somewhere between a Volnay and a Barolo
Cola, raspberries, sweet tobacco, white choc, salted caramel, mou, forest floor, mushroom and slightly grillée
Nearly fizzy when opened
It was worth the wait

Also too, due to some unnecessary lockdowns, some of my bottles are going to go on auction soon...🤞wish me luck🙂
Wow! Nice job shipping your whole cellar across. What a big job! I've been reading up about them since your note. They sound amazing... especially the Cerasuolo. It's an area I need to explore more. Tricky doing it from Australia! 😁
@Travis W Thanks, there was a lot of planning 🙂 Good luck with your hunt for Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo. Mind don't mix it with other Cerasuolo wines and one recommendation..look for Valentini or Pepe, everything else isn't quite as worth...

Very crisp and juicy. Green apple, grapefruit some smokey notes in the palate. Sharp, vibrating and salty acid with long Finish - hell yeah! — 3 years ago

Really liked this cab. One of the smoothest I’ve tried, bold, not overly fruit forward. — 4 years ago

I didn’t take any notes on this one, but it stood out for its full throttle intensity, married to supreme elegance, with a textured mouthfeel. Long, resonant finish. First try with this bottling, and I would have purchased two additional cases had I known how brilliant it is. Will back up the truck next year. Hard to believe how open this is at this age, and I don’t know how I will be able to hold on to these for the long haul. — 21 days ago
