Malacari
Villa Malacari Rosso Conero Montepulciano
Conero, Ancona, Marche, Italy
With 7 years age, a tamed beast that always delights me. Have no idea what they do the Sangiovese to make it so feral & alive. Very dark black fruits. Slight frizzante & ping pong tannins. Let it develop in glass so you can taste how the fireworks morph. This wine has been around for a while,& I always have fun with it. Great QPR too.

Dec 11th, 2023A dense Rosso from Marche. When drunk First time all jagged edges & needing to stretch with air. This time much more polished with less air time, though I suppose this would still be Considered “rustic”. Wild blackberries, cassis, & just lovely overall black fruit profile, medium plus acidity, & something feral on front palate. A lot of wine for about 16$.

The 2017 Rosso Conero Villa Malacari smolders with a mix of black currants, smoky crushed stone and sage. It’s silky yet cool-toned, ushering in mineral-tinged red berry and violet inner florals. Grippy tannins linger as the Villa Malacari tapers off structured and almost salty in character. $16.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2022)

On the palate, it's still black fruit to be sure... Maybe with the addition of cranberry... The seven years of age seems to be introducing some softness with the tannin... Some old-world dirty here. Dusty. Medium body. Medium acidity. The finish is long with the blackberry showing flecks of blueberry on the finish.

I am a big fan. Tannic, grippy, and simple but solid fruit profile. Well balanced. For $18, buy more.
