Rocca Montepulciano

2016 continues to over deliver in Italy. This is alot of wine for under 15$: dark crimson red, corresponding flavors of black fruits, sour blackberries, old farmhouse barn wood. Happy I gave a 1/2 hr decant as quite a bit of sediment, & helps to loosen up. Polaner importer

Delicious- classic Montepulciano, smooth, balanced, fruity, terrific with pasta and tomato-based sauce. Great value.

Rich full body, dry but not too earthy

Astounding. Full of character and concentration and pure harmony. The fruit is polished and pristine, the structure has plenty of grip, and the balance is almost perfect. Old-school yet impossibly clean. Lot. 350.3

This Montepulciano overachieves. Spice, cherry or rhubarb or whatever forest floor. balanced, right acidity and finish. For $16? Wow. Hard to ignore.

V nice wine this one

Lush baked earth, violet and spice nose with hints of dark fruits and punchy acid, nice thick coat of fine tannins. Really great

Very good+. No compromise authentic flavors and structure.
