Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

The Gattavecchi family has been making wine in Montepulciano since the1950s, with the purchase of the Poggio alla Sala estate. Ruby with aromas of red berry, herb and floral notes. On the palate tart cherry and raspberry with spice and earthy herb notes. Firm tannins on medium finish ending with some earthy oak. Good now and over next 1-2 years.

Starts out super tight, but after opening up, great mid palate. Like the bottle says, decant, and give this at least an hour to open up.

Very astringent wine. Probably not overly so but we tried this one after Barbera so that might threw me off a bit. Bold + tannic,m, so people who enjoy California can really liked this one.
