Marramiero
Inferi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Abruzzi, Italy
A big boy with a clear Italian edge. Honestly, it was a difficult blind for me but JS, who brought the wine, sure did know how to make it a fun game of options. Discernible oak, JS’ chicanery, and the “Luce” like bottle shape pushed me right into the Super Tuscan camp. Then bam! A Montelpuciano was revealed. No one got it. The wine itself was not for me, but clearly left a good impression for others on the table. Ripe and sweet cherries, plums, toasty wood, smoke, tobacco, warm earth, and a touch of vanilla.

Absolutely delicious. Complex fruit flavor with a strong finish.

Blackberry, dark cherry, some tobacco and perhaps briar. Moderate tannins, higher acidity, medium body.
