This reminds me very much of a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Not only are they both Tuscan, both it's a great wine that compares in quality to Chianto Classicos, if not an entry level Brunello. This Montecucco in particular features a haunting layer of fruits, including a deep stewed blackberry up front that fades into fresh blackberry and a touch of pomegranate. Graphite / pencil lead, granite and cinnamon round out the flavor profile, which is followed by a medium length finish. December 21, 2008
