Montecucco Rosso Riserva Doc - Colle Massari

The Montecucco Rosso Riserva DOC, matured in barrel and originating from the wine-growing region of Piedmont, reveals itself in the glass with a dense purple-red, ruby-red color. With a slight tilt of the glass, the rim of the red wine glass shows a charming garnet-red hue. When given some air by swirling, this red wine displays high viscosity, evidenced by pronounced church windows on the glass. This Italian cuvée reveals wonderfully expressive notes of blackberries, blackcurrants, mulberries, and blueberries in the glass. These are joined by hints of other fruits.

The Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva DOC presents itself to the wine lover as delightfully dry. This red wine never appears coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth. Powerful and multi-layered, this velvety red wine unfolds on the palate. Thanks to its present acidity, the Montecucco Rosso Riserva DOC appears exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this matured red wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region ultimately delights with a lovely length. Once again, hints of blueberry and blackcurrant become apparent.
