First Drop 'Minchia' Montepulciano 2006
A sexy, svelte interpretation of flamboyant Montepulciano, this is a sensual, yet exurberant wine. This Montepulciano, an Australian expression of a southern Italian variety, is teasingly textured, whilst bursting with ‘Shirazamatazz’ flavour. It is a dark ruby red. Lifted raspberry, dark cherry aromas, this montepulciano has vibrant kirsch and rich dark chocolate flavors with a spicy, lingering finish.
