Poliziano Rosso di Montepulciano'03, Rosso di Montepulciano DOC, Tuscany, Italy



A full-bodied but not aggressive red wine from Tuscany. Quite nice one, you'll enjoy it!

Description:Purple red color. Red fruits aromas bouquet, the palate recalls its nose with lots of cherry and raspberry flavors laced with smoky oak flavors and very smooth tannins. Rich texture, velvety mouthfilling and long lasting finish.

Food Pairing & Service:Will accompany well hearty pasta dishes with tomato based sauce and herbs. Also a good accompaniment with red meat.

Ageing Potential: 3 - 5 years.

Score:9/10
