It is bright and fresh with some residual sugar

more melon and a zesty hint of ginger linger and persist on a lofty palate-cleansing note

fresh raspberry and classic black cherry

Marina Cvetic Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 2016 sku_2229456 It is bright and freshThe begins with a succulent and distinctively Italian aroma of dark fruit and lots of spice along with dried herbs and touches of leather, cedar, smoke and tobacco. Tasting reveals excellently integrated spice along with deep dark berry flavors and a smooth, silky mouthfeel. This is wonderful stuff especially once it has some air. Chewy, grippy tannins lead into the very long, dry, lasting finish.
