Ramitello Molise Rosso Montepulciano Blend
Molise, Italy
Distinctively Italian bouquet. Spicy and tannic all over the mouth. Fun little Cabernet franc type impression, albeit coming from Montepulciano and aglianico instead. It has some leather and cigar box, but still retains a good bit of red fruit. A little black peppercorn on the finish.

Fun wine with a nose that screams Italy.

85% Montepulciano, 15% Aglianico. Exuberant dark cherries verging on plums. Soft textured at first, & then the acid kicks in. A little simple, but nice.

Apr 15th, 2017When you let this wine open it shows soft full bodied red and black fruits with spices.

Blend of Montepulciano and Aglianico grapes. Deep ruby color. Plum, wild berry, dark chocolate, licorice, mushroom and leather. Rich and velvety. A whole lot going on here. Long finish.

Got a bottle from new season and opened in the sip bar. It is all right. Not good enough for buying again

Oct 28th, 2018Mmmm love this from first taste, chalky raspberry fruit. Pretty clear claret color, will have trouble waiting 90 minutes for the beef stew to finish before indulging. This wine has character.

Great stucture and nose. Just fininished the last sip over two hours after uncorking and it's mellow. The structure holds but with an elegance worthy of a long, post meal, fireside chat.
All I need now is a fireplace.
